"Of course it's real, I'll show you a video and you'll see for yourself."
"What video? Hurry up!"
Soon, everyone huddled together and watched a blurry video.
The video clearly depicted a high society party, with dazzling lights and a relaxed atmosphere in the VIP lounge.
Stella, who was obviously too drunk, was resting on Margaret's shoulder on the sofa.
Nearby, two heiresses were playfully fighting and suddenly knocked over a candlestick on the table.
The candlestick fell, igniting Stella's dress hem, and screams filled the air.
Stella, reacting a beat too slow, raised her hand to pat out the flames on her dress, but her glove caught fire instead.
"Oh no! The glove's on fire!"
"Quick, take off the glove!"
"What... What happened? How did my little finger get... burned off?"
As a few of the heiresses rushed over to help, everyone watched as the fire burned through where Stella's little finger should have been.
In a panic and attempting to leave, Stella was stopped by Margaret who pulled off her glove, revealing a grotesque and strange four-fingered hand.
Instantly, there was another wave of screams and panic.
"Oh my God! She's missing her little finger!"
Someone couldn't help but exclaim aloud, causing Stella's face to drastically change. Unable to bear the shock and everyone's astonished gazes, she quickly hid her hand behind her back and said.
"Sorry, I didn't mean to scare everyone. I got a burn and need to take care of it."
After mustering the courage to speak, she turned and hurried toward the restroom, her figure both defiant and fragile.

The readers' comments on the novel: Shattered Illusions Love Lies and Redemption (Lizetta and Remington)
Does evil really triumph always above the good in this novel ? How comes Stella's evilness has no end? Does the author believes that by giving justice and importance to bad people like Stella will make this novel interesring? I am starting to lose my patience and ask when will the writer finally will realize that the protagonist is Lizetta and not Stella....
