After Nathaniel's death, a video surfaced online, sparking a whirlwind of debates across the web because the woman in the video bore an uncanny resemblance to Izabella.
The woman in the video was dressed in tattered clothes, her body covered in blood and sweat. Her disheveled hair clung to her pale face, her head hung low, her appearance too pitiful for words. The video was muted, but seeing the woman trembling and opening her mouth in pain, one could tell how painful she must have been.
The video lasted for a full ten minutes, too cruel for most to endure the entirety of it. It was removed two hours after its upload due to its violent content.
But that was enough time for it to trend, and some who had seen it early enough managed to save it, secretly sharing and spreading it.
[I saw the original video, it's too bloody and cruel. I've never seen such horrifying methods of torture. According to professional analysis, these methods are definitely real. When I saw the woman in the video, I subconsciously touched myself, truly feeling the pain.]
[Am I the only one who thinks this looks like Izabella?]
[Maybe she's into thrill-seeking.]
[The video is muted, but I swear I can hear her heart-wrenching cries for help. Someone save her.]
[It's really looking more and more like Izabella. Could it really be her? Considering she suddenly retired from acting despite winning Best Actress, something seems fishy.]
Many netizens speculated that the woman in the video was Izabella.
And it indeed was Izabella, but from several years ago. To be precise, it was her from her past life.
Izabella's hand trembled as she held her phone, quickly regaining her composure after a brief moment of shock.
Even after so many years, she thought she had forgotten what should be forgotten. But when she saw this video, her body couldn't help but tremble.
The video only captured ten minutes, but she had been tortured for over an hour.
Have you ever seen true torment?
The erosion of humanity, the desperation of a creature trapped in a living hell, that's what you'd call a fate worse than death.
These mere ten minutes were just the tip of the iceberg.
Izabella never thought Nathaniel would keep these videos, let alone that they would leak after his death.
Izabella put down her phone, contacted her PR team via her phone, and ordered them to remove the video from the internet. But by the time she had called, the videos had already been cleaned up, and many big marketing accounts had been blocked.
The official account of the Dempsey Group issued a clarification statement, and a legal notice, demanding those who defamed Izabella to apologize immediately, or they would receive a court summons. The internet was not a lawless land, and people should pay for their mistakes.
Izabella had over 60 million fans. When she announced her retirement from entertainment, these fans didn't leave her.
Upon learning she was being slandered again, they immediately came out to refute the rumors, comparing Izabella's face with the woman in the video.
They were similar, but the differences were also obvious.
Who was the woman in the video? What happened to her afterward.
Afterward, she died.
