Chapter 353

It didn't take long for the fans to piece together that Celeste was talking about Miranda. After all, Miranda and Celeste had a history of disagreements, and Celeste had once misunderstood Miranda, stirring up quite the storm online. That storm had led to Celeste's downfall, her carefully crafted persona crumbling to

pieces.

So everyone assumed she was pointing fingers at Miranda. It wasn't long before "Miranda stirring trouble with Celeste's friends" was trending, and fans were demanding an explanation from Miranda.

Though Miranda wasn't short on fans herself, so Celeste's crowd couldn't make too much noise. Just as Miranda was stepping out, her phone rang. It was Marion.

"Why is this Celeste always targeting you? She's stirring up drama again."

Miranda scanned her surroundings as she stood by her front door. In the span of just a few days, her neighborhood had become populated with a curious assortment of characters. There were street vendors, some selling cheap souvenirs and even a guy attempting to cook crepes.

Jo had warned her that these new faces had appeared gradually over the past few days, and they were all pretty terrible at their jobs. Even the crepes the guy cooked were just distasteful. Their objection was suspicious, and Jo inquired if they should call the cops.

"Why are you asking me about someone else's tantrum?" Miranda replied. "Is she losing it online again?"

Marion acknowledged with a simple "yeah". "I can't touch her, otherwise I'd have her blacklisted already. She's got quite the connections. But we can manage the public outcry. Her reputation was already shaky. Though, her backers might step in to keep the negative press at bay."

Miranda approached the crepe stand. "Handle it as you see fit. Don't worry about me."

Marion responded, "Sure, but seriously, what did you do to her this time?" Miranda thought for a moment. "Could be because I decked her once?"

Marion was left speechless. "You're a real piece of work."
