“Is Summer planning to release any new music after the holidays?”

Ms. Kiki offered a smile, “I’m here today on account of Summer.”
“So, Summer asked you to come?”
“Why did Summer want you to be here?””Is it because she knows Mirabella but couldn’t show up herself, worried it might cause a sensation?”
After letting them finish, Ms. Kiki revealed with a soft smile, “Today is Summer’s comeback party. How could I not come?”
Her words sent shockwaves through the crowd.
What?
Mirabella was also Summer?
My goodness.
What kind of gem of a girl was she?
The reporters were stunned, and even after Ms. Kiki set down her glass and left, they stood frozen, struggling to process the revelation.
If Mirabella was Summer, then her surprise appearance at David’s concert wasn’t out of friendship or business—it meant they were siblings!
The online world exploded with chatter.
[So, the mysterious superstar Summer’s first guest appearance at a concert was to support her own brother?]
[At the concert, David sang a song he wrote for his sister. Was it for Mirabella?]
[No wonder their voices blended perfectly in a duet. They’re siblings!]The story was too hot to handle, and the system crashed once again.
All of David’s fans went wild, shocked that Summer wasn’t his girlfriend but his sister! Read at If the brother was that doting, the fans had to step up their game.
In a matter of minutes, Summer gained twenty million followers.
As the buzz around him intensified, fans unearthed a trending topic that had set the internet ablaze not so long ago.
There was a time when #DavidChangesProfilePic hit the top of the trending charts.
The new profile picture featured David standing on a picturesque balcony, gazing out into the night.
Although he appeared to be alone, some eagle-eyed fans spotted a girl’s shadow in the photo!
It was clear that this girl must have been taking the picture for him, her silhouette stretched long across the ground by the light. You could only see a bit of it, but that was enough to not escape the sharp eyes of his fans.
Subsequently, the topic #DavidMightBeInLove soared to the second spot on the trending list.
Now, upon closer inspection, fans have pieced together that the girl in the photo was none other than David’s own sister, Mirabella!
Back then, Mirabella’s identity wasn’t meant to be public knowledge, so David didn’t directly address the matter.
As long as David was still single, the fans clung to the hope of him being available!
Consequently, they showered Summer, his darling sister, with even more affection!
A deluge of fans flooded Summer’s social media, complimenting her on her beauty and sweet voice.
Meanwhile.
After exchanging pleasantries with Erlinda, Mirabella heeded her advice and returned to her own table to dine.Seeing Erlinda momentarily alone, reporters flocked to her, eager to interview the renowned iron lady of the business world, a rare opportunity indeed.
“Are you here as a friend of the Collins family for this homecoming feast?” one reporter asked.
“What is your relationship with Mirabella?” inquired another.
“You two seemed quite close earlier, did you know each other before, or did you meet through the Collins family connection?”
Erlinda, exuding an aura of female empowerment, faced the throng of reporters with ease and said, “I’m primarily here as Mirabella’s family.”
“Family??” All the reporters were taken aback. What sort of familial connection was this?
“I’ve known Mirabella since before she returned to the Collins family. She’s a smart and spirited girl, very lovable. I often pestered her to consider me her godmother, but she’s not one to just acknowledge anyone as family. In the end, after much nagging from my part, she gave in and called me ‘Aunt Erlinda’ once.”
It all made sense now!
Everyone was enlightened!
Erlinda was still unmarried, without siblings, so she doted on Mirabella as if she were her own niece.
“Do you plan on bringing Mirabella into your corporation in the future?” the journalists pressed.
“It’s up to Mirabella herself. I’d be more than happy to hand over the reins of my enterprise to her when I retire. But as you’ve seen earlier, there are many esteemed gentlemen vying to name her their heir. I guess as her aunt, I might not make the cut.”The crowd was astounded once again.
What kind of celestial treasure was this girl. So young, yet so popular.
With so many influential figures eager to leave their fortunes to her.
[I’m tired of using the word ‘envy.]
[If Mirabella can’t manage it all, she could consider me! I’d settle for just 1% of the shares!] [Aunt Erlinda, it’s me, your long-lost niece!]
“Don’t worry, kiddo, take your time eating. I’ve got your back,” Sampson said, his eyes twinkling with the indulgent affection of an elder for a younger family member.
Meanwhile, in her personal live stream, a user named “CreamPuff” spilled the beans. [I knew it was them! I saw Sampson and that girl at Lidaria a while back. They went shopping at QY together. There was this bombshell who came up to Sampson, saying she had learned his language just for him and wanted his contact info. Who would’ve thought Louisa would shoo her away.]
“CreamPuff” continued, [Back then, everyone thought Sampson was dating Mirabella since he was carrying loads of shopping bags. People online were slandering her, accusing her of maxing out Sampson’s credit cards on luxury goods. But now it seems likely that those QY bags Sampson was holding were gifts from Mirabella for her beloved uncle, right?]
This speculation won a lot of people over.
Reporters rushed to verify the story with Sampson, who confirmed, “Yeah, those gifts were indeed from Bella to me. I didn’t spend a dime.”
The live stream audience was stunned. Previously, the incident had caused Mirabella to be viciously attacked online internationally. If it weren’t for Sampson stepping in to cool things down, she might have been blasted from abroad all the way back home.
Now, many realized they had misunderstood this filial young woman, who was merely buying gifts for her uncle, and never expected to stir up such a backlash. Some netizens even started to apologize to Mirabella online.
“All the suits, the cufflinks, it’s all from Bella,” Sampson said, casting another warm glance at his niece.People began to notice that Mirabella wasn’t just generous. She had impeccable taste. The clothes and accessories she chose for Sampson made him look even more dashing and youthful.
[At last, I can speak up! I was the jewelry store clerk who served Mr. Sampson and Ms. Bella. She showered him with gifts, and he was so touched that he brought her back to our store to pick out jewelry for herself. Whenever Sampson heard about something that would complement Bella’s style, he’d have it wrapped up.]
[Bella was reluctant to let him pay, but Sampson boldly declared that if she didn’t let him buy the gifts, he’d just buy the entire brand and put it in her name.]
[He really treats Bella so well!]
[Their relationship isn’t for show, it’s genuine care. I think being Bella’s uncle or Sampson’s niece must be such a joy.]
[And just to let you know, Mr. Sampson bought a ton of jewelry for his niece. He truly dotes on her!]
Many netizens were green with envy.
Elsewhere.
A reporter saw Sean alone and thought it was an opportunity to get a scoop, so he scurried over for an interview.
“May I ask, Mr. Collins, do you still consider Serena Collins your sister?”
Sean’s gaze lifted and narrowed ever so slightly, the dangerous aura around him sending shivers down the reporter’s spine.
Had she stepped on a landmine?The reporter was taken aback.
The image was all shaky!
The cameraman was not just scared; his body was betraying him!
Everyone was shocked.
Someone approached Sean, looking to share a couple of drinks, but he casually remarked, “Now, I’ve got my little sis watching over me. I’ll stick to water, thanks.”
Water? At a gathering like this?
The once jovial Sean, a man never seen without a wine in hand, was sipping on water?
The guests were flabbergasted.
They watched in disbelief as Sean actually raised his glass of water for a toast. Panicked, they hurriedly lowered their own glasses a touch to show deference. After clinking glasses with him, they saw Sean nearly finished his drink and quickly downed theirs as well.
Tears brimmed in Serena’s eyes, a mix of shame and anger boiling within her.
