So they were about to get married. That was rough.
Based on what Marius said, it was not depression that drove Heather to suicide but something else.
Just as I was thinking about it, Marius continued, "After that, Drover wouldn’t divulge the reason to me no matter how I asked. I was still curious at first, but over time, I stopped mentioning it. After all, this is part of Drover's heartache. So be it then. You should be careful too."
"Understood."
Not even Marius knew about Heather's death. It seemed that only Drover and the company were privy to it.
I suddenly caught onto something he said just now. "You said earlier that Heather became popular when she met a benefactor. Who is it?"
When I asked this, Marius hesitated. He looked at me with a dry smile. "The story is over. Why should you care about this little detail?"
Staring into his eyes, it was obvious that Marius did not want to tell me about it.
I pursed my lips tightly and raised my brow. "Forget it, but this should be easy to find out. I’ll just see which company Heather was signed to and I’ll be able to find out."
"Sis Wan, Heather has nothing to do with you. Why are you so concerned? Could it be that you and Drover..." He winked at me with a leering glint. It made me think that if I were to refrain from explaining it to him, he would come up with thousands of guesses in his head.
I quickly stopped his drifting thoughts. "Stop it. Don't think about it. It’s just because Drover helped me, so I also want to help him. After interacting with him during this time, I found out that Heather is the root of his heartache. It's probably because of Heather that he’s so wary of the outside world."
As for Heather, the once famous celebrity, news about her had been stifled since her death, and no one cared about her anymore. It was likely only her friends and family remembered her.
