The Divorced Heiress’s Revenge

Chapter 471

Just two days ago, Bella’s trip from Hatchbay to Savrow was filled with delight. Now, a dark scowl had settled on her face, and her lips were pressed tightly together.

Back at the hotel, Bella locked herself in the office without any disruption from Steven. She looked up anything related to Celeste’s incident.

Mila’s words echoed in her mind. “The network’s special was Celeste’s darkest hours, but it was also when she grew closer to Wyatt. Back then, the internet wasn’t the behemoth it is today. To keep tabs on the entertainment world, people relied on magazines and newspapers. When news of the incident broke, Wyatt went to extreme lengths to contain it. He reportedly bought and destroyed every magazine subscription in the country that mentioned it. Any journalist who dared report on the matter faced harsh consequences. But apparently, the foreign press was present during the incident. Someone captured the entire ordeal on camera and uploaded it to a foreign website. Even though Wyatt managed to get the video taken down, traces of the video still linger online.”

Bella drew a deep breath. With her eyes fixated on the computer screen, she typed furiously on the keyboard.

She quickly located a grainy video of the network’s special that had been sealed away for twenty years.

The video captured Celeste at her most vulnerable, hunched over, and convulsed with silent tremors. Her face was drained of color.

She was at a breaking point.

The harsh beam above her head put her despair under the spotlight. The jeers and laughter from the audience washed over her, threatening to shatter her fragile resolve.

A tall and strong figure rushed onto the stage, approaching Celeste without hesitation.

From the man’s back, Bella could tell that it was Wyatt.

Without a word, Wyatt took off his jacket and got down on one knee before Celeste to cover her modesty.

A hush fell over the stage.

The video came to an end.

Bella stared blankly at the screen, her shoulders drooping as she sank her back against the chair.

Did the incident lead Wyatt to win Celeste’s heart?
