As the final episode unfurled, the arena was packed beyond its usual capacity. From the viewpoint on stage, the crowd below, brandishing their light sticks, seemed like a vast, shimmering blue ocean.
In that defining competition, every member of the team gave it their all, dazzling the audience with their charisma and talent. Their determination bore fruit as they snagged the top spot.
The moment their names echoed through the arena, euphoria took over; cheers erupted from every corner.
From being the underdogs during auditions, they had evolved into the champions. The sheer magnitude of their achievement seemed almost surreal.
As they reveled in their moment of glory, some spotted Ariana cheering for them from the side. They didn’t waste a moment, rushing over, encircling her, and hoisting her into the air in sheer jubilation.
On the virtual front, live chat rooms were abuzz with praise and astonishment. Comments poured in, ranging from “A win against all odds!” to “Every single one of them earned this.” Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.
However, amidst these accolades, a rogue comment snagged everyone’s attention: “Heads up! Check the trending topics. Major news breaking!”

Sure enough, besides their championship trending, two more topics were making waves. One hinted at the tumultuous dynamics between the Edwards’ sisters, and the other tantalizingly hinted at a juicy Love triangle involving a stunning agent.
Suddenly, events from five years ago resurfaced. Crafted with shrewd and venomous language, they painted a portrait of Ariana as a woman devoid of any morals or conscience, willing to do anything to get what she wanted.
The stories whispered of her entanglements with married men, suggesting that Ariana was not just involved but actively sought out these forbidden relationships.
Rumors swirled, accusing Ariana of being cold-hearted. They claimed that she had stolen her sister’s boyfriend for herself and that she had intentionally sabotaged her sister’s wedding, driving her sister to a deep pit of despair, which ultimately caused her suicide.
The rumors suggested that Ariana had first tried and failed to charm Jasper, only to marry his brother in a bid for wealth. They spoke of her entering the Anderson household in the unconventional role of a surrogate without the blessings of a proper wedding.
Furthermore, she was labeled a widow-maker; her husband’s tragic death in a car crash barely a year after their union fueled such gossip. A tidal wave of online users chimed in, claiming previous reports had said Ariana was at the accident scene, fully unharmed. To their shock, the narrative claimed she had left her injured husband behind, leading to his unfortunate demise due to delayed rescue.
In an instant, the comments streamed in.
“I had a feeling she looked familiar! So, she made headlines five years ago, too?”
“Absolutely, I recall now. Not only the surrogacy tale, but she also tried to snatch her own sister’s love interest. No line she won’t cross, huh?”
“I remember the surrogate story getting out. But it seemed like the Andersons managed to hush it down. Sadly, no photographic proof remains.”
With a keen interest in the past, many delved into the Anderson family’s history, discussing Ariana as the lone surviving Anderson.
Theories, dark and speculative, began to blossom.
At the venue, post-show, reporters, hungry for a scoop, flocked around Ariana, mics thrust forward, eager for her statement on the fresh storm surrounding her.
