Chapter 4

She had also dressed differently. She wore a slim, plain red dress that brought out her shape.

“Priya,” she said as she walked over and exchanged handshakes with Priya.

Their names were very similar: Bella Brown and Priya Brown.

She had first come across Priya at a party and had found her to be very trustworthy.

Priya had agreed to help hide Crystal Merry’s true identity and protect her secret.

She promised to assist Crystal in keeping her past hidden while helping her rise to fame in the movie industry.

The only people who knew about her new identity were Laura Adams and Priya Brown.

Not many people knew that Crystal Merry was an actress. She was also still a writer.

“Priya, I must say you made me very happy today. You made my day feel great,” Bella Brown said.

She appeared to be a naive and sweet girl, but she felt confident once she stepped out of the Harrison villa.

Deep inside, she knew that if the Harrisons found out the truth, she would be in serious trouble.

They were rich and powerful, and they could destroy her career and her entire life.

There was only one way she could truly escape from the Harrison family.

It was to get a divorce from Leonard Harrison.

“Bella, a lot of people really want to know who this unknown writer is,” Priya said.

Priya suggested that opening a new social media account for the novel might give it the attention it deserved and help build a more modern, “trendy” image for the work.

Within minutes, notifications began flooding the phone.

Messages, comments, and reactions poured in so quickly that the screen briefly froze under the weight of the incoming responses.

With a small, satisfied smile, Priya handed the phone to Crystal.

Crystal took it carefully and began scrolling through the messages. As she read, a warm smile slowly formed on her lips.

Many of the comments praised the mystery and emotional depth of the writing.

Some readers admired the unknown author’s talent, while others eagerly asked for the next chapter.

For a moment, Crystal felt a quiet sense of pride. The recognition she had longed for was finally beginning to appear.

Her cheeks warmed slightly as she read a few particularly flattering comments.

But the pleasant moment did not last.

As she continued scrolling, her smile slowly faded. Her eyes stopped on one particular comment.

The words felt strangely familiar, almost unsettling.

Then she noticed the name.

Her step-sister.

Crystal’s fingers tightened slightly around the phone as a wave of shock passed through her.

The room suddenly felt quieter, heavier. Of all the people who could have found the account, she had never expected it to be her.

A faint smile slowly appeared on Crystal’s lips as she realized something important—her own step-sister had commented on the post.

Crystal thought about it carefully. If her step-sister had actually known that the mysterious writer was her, she would never have left a simple comment.

Instead, she would have tried everything possible to destroy Crystal’s reputation.
