Fear drained the color from Mabel's face, leaving her plexion ashen. She stood frozen in
shock, caught in disbelief for a long time before the fog of panic slowly lifted, and she regained her senses.
She reached for her phone with trembling hands, desperate to connect with Rebekah for reassurance. However, her hopes were dashed as the phone rang unanswered, leaving her to grapple with the realization that Rebekah, too, was engulfed in her own turmoil, unable to offer solace or support.
As the damning video surfaced into public view, it brought with it another layer of incrimination: the revelation of Mabel and Rebekah's transaction records.
A staggering sum of six hundred thousand dollars had been clandestinely transferred into Rebekah's account, further plicating the scandal.
With the emergence of the video and the acpanying transaction records, every detail of the scandal was laid bare for all to see, leaving no room for doubt.
Rebekah was privy to Mabel's theft, yet rather than reporting the wrongdoing, she opted for silence, striking a clandestine deal with Mabel in exchange for a hefty sum of hush money.
The timing of Jayden's decision to expose the scandal was calculated with precision. Rather than opting for the cover of night when online activity tended to peak, he strategically chose half past nine in the morning, a subtle yet impactful moment that ensured maximum visibility.
At this time, Rebekah was heading to her orchestra job.
The top brass of the Celestial Sounds Symphony were about to meet to talk about Rebekah's conduct on the job.
Jayden was eager for a swift resolution. He hoped to restore Elyse to her job promptly while rooting out the true culprit responsible for the disruption.

'Adding to the gravity of the situation, Darren uncovered troubling revelations. Not only had Rebekah tampered with the monitoring room's power switch, but she had also succumbed to bribery, allowing the paparazzi to infiltrate and stir chaos.
Clearly, Rebekah had overstepped the boundaries. The impending consequences might not sit well with her.
As for Mabel, seeking retribution against Rebekah would have to wait in the queue of priorities. Mabel, feeling frustrated, scratched her head and let out a loud shout. She grabbed her phone and stormed out to find Glenda.
Glenda was engrossed in a television show when she suddenly heard Mabel's cries and swearing. Glenda gazed at Mabel with concern. "Sweetie, what's wrong? Who's upset you? I'll help you stand up to them."
Tears streamed down Mabel's face as she accepted the tissue from Glenda. "It's Elyse. She discovered the video of me stealing and shared it online. Now everyone thinks I'm a thief. Mom, Elyse is tormenting me. It's like she wants to destroy me."
Glenda was taken aback and stumbled over her words. "But... didn't you mention that Elyse couldn't find any evidence? How did she suddenly e across it?"
Mabel stamped her feet in frustration, tears still flowing. "I have no idea. It's so frustrating. My pany even retracted their support for me. Now everyone's pointing fingers at me, calling me a thief. Let's strategize together. Could you assist me in persuading Elyse to reconsider her narrative and acknowledge my innocence?"
Glenda was left speechless, uncertain about how to fort Mabel as she held her in her arms. In a moment of turmoil, Glenda grappled with the impossibility of convincing Elyse to alter her stance. Yet, driven by her motherly instinct to shield her daughter from distress, Glenda resolved to take action. "I'll shoulder the blame. Just tell them it was my scheme, and I directed you to take ém
Mabel's sobs echoed in the room. "Mom, if you take the blame, they'll only scold me even more severely. They won't buy your story."

Glenda's expression darkened, her eyes betraying a storm of emotions. She opened her mouth as if to speak, but then back the truth.
She couldn't bring herself to reveal to Mabel that Elyse wasn't truly her sister.
Glenda reassured Mabel, saying, "Stop worrying about it. I'll handle everything from here on out.
Just focus on being good these days. No internet surfing or going out, okay?"
Through tears, Mabel lamented, "Mom, I love being in the entertainment industry. When you speak to Elyse, please ask her not to bar me and to arrange for my return to the showbiz later on." "Alright, I understand. I'll talk to Elyse about it." After a moment's contemplation, Glenda made her way to the garden to confer with
