Chapter 479
After rushing to the hospital, Sheena instructed Ford and Paul to stand guard at the entrance to prevent
any paparazzi or eavesdroppers. As she entered the ward, Phoebe was already awake, gazing wearily
out of the window.
Upon hearing the closing door, Phoebe did not turn around.
“Sheena, I wish I Had died today.”
Sheena sat by the bedside, feeling a pang of sympathy for her. On the way to the hospital, Sheena had
gathered a rough understanding of what had transpired.
Caleb Mendez, once a rising star in the entertainment industry, had actively pursued Phoebe after her
breakout success with The Butterflies. They even established a secret romantic relationship three
months ago. However, Caleb turned out to be unfaithful, cheating on Phoebe with Lisa Tucker, one of
Phoebe’s teammates in The Butterflies.
Lisa intentionally isolated and harassed Phoebe within the group, worsening her mental health.
Phoebe, burdened by a hectic schedule and the toxic environment, coupled with Caleb’s sudden cold
treatment, reached a breaking point.
Sheena felt a sense of self–blame, realizing she had been too focused on securing Phoebe with
lucrative endorsements and neglected her psychological well–being.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Caleb is just a major scumbag,” Sheena commented.
Phoebe turned toward her, gripping her hand, tears streaming down her face. “Sheena, he
complained that I was too reserved, unwilling to kiss or sleep with him, to do the things couples do. Is it
my fault?”
“You’re not at fault. He must respect your choice and consent. If he truly loved you, he wouldn’t give up
on you for such reasons.”
Phoebe burst into tears, and Sheena embraced her, allowing her to cry freely.
“Today, when I confronted him, I caught him in bed with Lisa, doing… those things. He said I’m just an
orphan, unworthy of him. He claimed that he got together with me initially because of my fame. But I
genuinely liked him…”
Sheena comforted her by rubbing her back, realizing that girls often turned into fools when in love.
Phoebe was deeply saddened, but Sheena had to shake her out of it.
“Phoebe, it’s no
not that he looked down on you. It’s your deep–seated self–doubt. You have to be strong mentally!
Moreover, you’re not at fault. Caleb cheated on you, and Lisa, knowing you were in a relationship with
him, not only failed to restrain herself but also led the others to isolate you.”
“You can’t contemplate suicide. Don’t you want to become stronger and make those scumbags pay for
bullying you?”

Phoebe shook her head, sinking into self–doubt. “I–I’m not like you. I have nothing.
Η
“It’s precisely because you have nothing that you can afford to confront them. What are you afraid of
losing in this battle? Besides, you have me. Don’t you want to see a future where those scumbags
kneel and apologize at your feet
Phoebe abruptly stopped crying, gazing at her with newfound determination.
Leaving the ward, Sheena called Dark Bell.
“Find evidence of Caleb Mendez and Lisa Tucker’s secret affair as soon as possible. I want photos, 4K
high–definition and uncensored.”
“Yes, Miss.”
Sheena was concerned about leaving Phoebe alone in the hospital. Hence, she temporarily assigned
Ford and Paul to stay and look after Phoebe.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAs she exited the elevator from the hospital, Sheena spotted Elliot’s car from a distance. Elliot himself
was leaning against the car, wearing a silver–gray mask, his expression unreadable.
Surprised, Sheena jogged over. “Why are you here?”
Elliot’s voice was deep. “Did you forget I was coming to pick you up? You didn’t even bother to tell me
you were coming to the hospital.”
He had been waiting downstairs at Angle for quite some time. Moreover, Sheena had not answered her
phone. It was after asking Wendy that he found out that Sheena had come to the hospital.
“Oh, right!” Sheena awkwardly touched her earlobe. “I was busy and forgot. I’ll pay more attention next
time.”
Next time?
Elliot felt a bit annoyed but refrained from saying much. He would address this when they got home. He
opened the car door for Sheena, habitually using his left hand to shield the car roof edge, preventing
her from bumping her head.
They headed back to the Jenkins estate together.
During dinner, Sheena remained silent, still thinking about Phoebe’s situation.
Elliot felt a pang of jealousy, and he was still holding in his anger from before. Not only that, but he also
sensed that Sheena cared more about Phoebe than him.
