Chapter 498
“Collins, we’re all clear, right? Mirabella lifted her gaze to Collins again.
Collins shook his head and looked around before suggenting. “Let’s talk in the car.”
By now, a crowd had gathered outside the safety barriers, many wielding smartphones, eager to capture the moment. Mirabella glanced up briefly, then pulled her face mank a bit higher on her nose.
Leo’s celebrity status had been cemented from the moment his image, captured by a fan during a casual stroll, was shared within fan circles. Now, with his equally intriguing sister on site, the fans were buzzing, many from the local area converging on the shoot location. Their curiosity wasn’t limited to the superstar they adored. They were equally keen to catch a glimpse of the badass sister who dominated the live
streams.
The fans finally got up close to Mirabella. Even with her face partly concealed, she was more awe– inspiring than her digital persona had suggested a revelation that exceeded all expectations.
Her sporty attire caught everyone’s eye, so much so that people began searching online for the brand. Following a leaked video of the shoot, the sports gear Mirabella wore sold out online and in stores even before the brand’s official ad had been released.
The power of a top celeb carried weight, and when it came to supporting the sister who had helped her brother rise to the top, the fans were all in.
Originally there to accompany her brother, Mirabella’s popularity surged, catapulting her to Twitter trending fame.
Meanwhile, as the brand’s staff were packing up the shoot equipment, the company was flooded with calls about the unexpected spike in online sales, leaving the team stunned.
Snapping back to reality, the brand manager checked the sales figures on the company’s system, his heart skipping a beat at the numbers displayed. The campaign had barely wrapped, and the impact was already palpable. He couldn’t even begin to imagine the frenzy once the ad went live.
Trying to contain his excitement, he shut the sales dashboard and, after a moment’s thought, dialed Collins‘ number.
After an arduous journey through the crowd, shielded by their bodyguard, the siblings finally settled into the SUV. Mirabella removed her mask, massaging her temples the fervor of fandom was indeed overwhelming. She thanked her lucky stars for opting to remain anonymous in her live streams; otherwise, she might have been driven mad by such relentless enthusiasm.
Collins followed the siblings while on the phone with the brand manager. He climbed into the driver’s seat and hung up after his brief conversation. Starting the engine, he glanced in the rearview mirror and said, “Mira, the brand wants to shoot some more photos with you.”
Mirabella, surprised, arched an eyebrow. “So soon?”
“Yeah, but the photo shoot is…” Collins was interrupted before he could finish his sentence by Leo’s Interjection.
“No, she’s not taking any more gigs after this ad, and as for the photos, just decline it,” Leo stated firmly.

“Why?” Collins asked, puzzled.
Mirabella turned to look at him, equally confused by Leo’s sudden opposition.
