Someone commented sharply, “During Stella and Devyn’s interview, they seemed to be in disagreement. It’s difficult not to link this incident to Stella.”
Another person echoed the comment. “Stella, the wife of the CEO of Prosperity Group, holds significant wealth and influence. Just a flick of her wrist, and she could shatter the career of any emerging designer.”
Many netizens outright criticized Stella.
“Stella’s just jealous. She can’t handle someone outshining her, so she stoops to such despicable methods.”
“Devyn always kept a low profile. Besides Stella, she hasn’t clashed with anyone else, has she?”
“Arson is a serious crime. I urge the police to thoroughly investigate!”
“Should someone like Stella even be a designer? Stella ought to step away from the industry!”

In no time, the comments under this news piece surpassed tens of thousands, but there were also many defending Stella.
“Before making accusations, you should provide evidence. The situation isn’t clear yet, so why jump to blame Stella for starting the fire?”
“Stella is already a top-tier designer. Would she really stoop to sabotaging an emerging designer? It’s clear that Devyn poses no threat to her.”
“To those making unfounded accusations, beware of legal repercussions. Prosperity Group’s legal team doesn’t take such matters Lightly!”
The online debate heated up, with defenders of Stella quickly challenged.
“Are you so blindly loyal to the rich that you can’t think for yourself? You’re sympathizing with those in power who could easily erase your hard work. Instead of standing up for yourself, you’re serving them like a servant.”
“Absolutely! Even if Stella’s a famous designer, she might have already lost her creative spark and is now scrambling to find a replacement for herself.”
Netizens exchanged increasingly vicious insults, eventually even targeting Stella’s family members.
Stella’s face soured as she read the online comments.

Matthew intervened, taking the phone. “Ignore these comments. They’re just gossip. Don’t let them get to you.”
Stella grinned faintly and remarked, “I’m tougher than I look. But it stings to see them dragging you into this because of me…”
Taking a brief pause, she added, “Their words won’t affect me. Besides, I have a way to prove my innocence.”
Matthew arched an eyebrow. “What’s the plan then?”
Stella gestured for Matthew to draw nearer, and he leaned in attentively.
In a hushed tone, she shared her plan with Matthew, and then met his gaze. “I still need your assistance for this.”
The following day, Prosperity Group’s official video channel went live, announcing the imminent debut of a fresh collection of clothing in partnership with Stella as the designer.
Stella took inspiration from the exam theme Bella provided and transformed the design work into finished garments. She also presented her original Iris series, demonstrating the entire process from design and cutting to creating sample garments, all Live-streamed for the audience to see.
