"I didn’t..." Joy’s voice trembled, panic flashing across her face as she instinctively turned to Evan. “Evan, you’ve been with me this whole time. Tell them that I didn’t do anything!”Evan slowly stepped forward, arms crossed.Under Joy’s desperate gaze, he looked at Stellar and said calmly, clearly, “She’s telling the truth about you. I overheard you on the phone arranging a deal with a hacker. “There are call logs, payment records… you never intended to let Stellar or her team walk away unscathed.”The words dropped like a bomb, plunging the room into stunned silence.Joy stared at him in disbelief, as if struck by lightning. “Evan Burns, are you out of your mind?!”She never imagined that the man who had always groveled at her feet would one day betray her so thoroughly.“You’ve got no one to blame but yourself,” Evan said, voice cold. “Pulling cheap tricks like that and jeopardizing an entire research team? Save yourself the embarrassment and just admit what you did.”He hadn’

Stellar’s face darkened. “Who would stoop to something that…”She suddenly paused mid-sentence. A thought struck her like lightning.Of course. That was it—someone had tampered with the equipment, not the data.Her expression shifted in an instant, the realization lighting up her eyes.Evan caught the change and a sharp glint flickered across his own gaze....Three days passed in a flash.On the fourth day, shortly after Stellar and her teammates arrived at the institute, Joy once again blocked their path."Three days are up, and not a word from you. Don’t tell me you were hoping to bluff your way out of this?"Her eyes gleamed with satisfaction, her tone smug. “Unfortunately for you, I won’t give you that chance. Pack your things. You're done here.”People from across the institute gathered to watch the confrontation unfold.But facing Joy’s aggression, Stellar and her team remained calm and composed.“Sorry to disappoint you, Miss Shaw,” Stellar replied lightly. “The issue’s been f

She’d expected him to take at least a few minutes to think it over.To her surprise, Stephen didn’t even hesitate for a second.“Sure. Bring them with you.”Stellar’s heart lifted. “Alright.”After ending the call, she returned to the lab and motioned to the others. “Grab whatever we might need. Come with me.”Though unsure of the plan, the three of them followed without question, trusting her completely.Half an hour later, the group arrived at the university’s research institute.Lilian glanced around, hesitating. “Stellar, why are we back here?”Stellar didn’t answer right away. She simply smiled mysteriously and led them into one of the labs.When they entered and saw the tall, lean figure waiting inside, all three straightened instinctively. “Senior Ward!”Stephen gave a faint nod, then walked over to Stellar and handed her a folder. “Here’s what you asked for.”She took it, and the others quickly gathered around, curious.A few moments later, their eyes widened as realization da

Everyone instinctively turned their heads as Lucien stepped up beside Stellar. Smiling faintly at Joy, he said, "After such a significant contribution, you're already planning to cast her aside? Miss Shaw, are you trying to make our entire research institute the laughingstock of the industry?"Joy’s expression froze.The man before her stood tall, and with those deep blue eyes, he gave off an intimidating presence. Though he was smiling, it carried an unsettling chill that instantly weakened her aura.Before she could figure out a response, Stellar let out a cold laugh. "This isn’t the first time Miss Shaw’s tried to stab someone in the back the moment they were no longer useful."That snapped Joy out of her daze. She snapped back in anger, "Just because she made a contribution doesn’t mean her mistakes can be overlooked! If we let her and her team off that easily, what about everyone else’s hard work?"As soon as those words left her mouth, the other researchers around them visibly

Lilian stood before her with red-rimmed eyes, face filled with panic and remorse. Her voice trembled as she choked out, “Stellar, it was my mistake during the experiment. I messed up the process… all of our hard work, it’s my fault. I ruined everything…”“Easy, Lilian, take a breath,” Stellar said, reaching out to gently pat her back.They’d worked together for so long, and she knew Lilian wasn’t the reckless type.“Don’t panic. We’re a team. When something goes wrong, we find a way to fix it. Just tell me exactly what happened.”Her tone softened, trying to reassure her.“Well…” Lilian wiped at her tears, her expression clouded with guilt. “Everything was going smoothly at first, so I didn’t watch the progress too closely. I thought it’d be fine if I took just a brief break, nothing major… but somehow, it spiraled. I don’t even know how it got this bad…”Stellar’s brows drew into a deep frown.Something about this didn’t sit right. She could feel it. But to get to the bottom of it

That night, Percy stumbled home, still reeking of alcohol.Since reclaiming his place at the top, he’d gone back and bought Azure Heights—the same villa he once shared with Stellar.He had even restored her old room exactly as it was, down to the smallest detail. Every piece of furniture and arrangement just as she’d left it.With unsteady steps, he walked into the room, letting his fingers trail across the familiar surfaces—the vanity, the mirror.He remembered how she used to sit there, carefully putting on makeup while he leaned against the doorway, impatiently telling her to hurry.And she’d always reply that she wanted to look her best for him, every single day.The memories returned in waves—so vivid, so sweet, and all the more painful because they were gone.He sank onto the bed, lying back as if he could still feel the trace of her warmth in the sheets.Then, almost instinctively, he pulled out his phone and dialed her number. Only when the automated message played did he rem

If her grandfather or uncles caught them, she didn’t even dare to imagine how chaotic that scene would be.Stephen’s smile deepened. “What, isn’t the doorstep romantic enough?”Stellar said nothing.“You wish!”Throwing the words over her shoulder, she spun around and dashed back into the house.Stephen stood there, watching her retreating figure, a bright mood blooming in his chest.Clearly, he meant something different to her.At the very least, he was sure that Stellar would never kiss anyone else as a token of gratitude.This was something only they shared. A kind of secret intimacy.And with that thought, his desire to make their relationship public and mark his territory burned even stronger.He needed to act fast—cut off any competition before they even had a chance.…Meanwhile, after being turned down by Stellar and mocked by Keith, Percy’s mood was heavy.Back at the office, he was stopped by his boss, Jackson Far.“Percy, what’s with the long face? Come on, let’s grab a drin

Keith seemed to catch on to her thoughts—just for a moment, a flicker of something unspoken passed through his expression, a hint of melancholy."Of course, I believe in you," he said with a playful edge. "Guess that just makes me your silent supporter from the sidelines, Miss Rivers."The tension in the car eased, replaced by a lighter, more comfortable air.Before long, they pulled up to the villa.As Stellar stepped out, she turned back to him. "Are you sure you don’t want to come in for dinner? It’s the least I can do to repay you for today."Keith didn’t want to pass up the chance. But he had an important meeting scheduled in just half an hour. Missing it would be unprofessional and disrespectful to the client.With clear reluctance, he declined. "Next time. I’ll come by properly, with a gift in hand to visit your grandparents."Stellar waved him off with a smile, then turned around, only to jump slightly at the sight of a tall, shadowy figure lingering a short distance away.I

But just as Percy darted after her, a server stepped in his path. "Sir, you haven’t paid yet."He let out an irritated sigh, pulled out his card to tap at the register, then hurried out the door.He managed to catch up to her after a short sprint, blocking her path. "Stellar, wait… just hear me out…"Her brows furrowed deeply. She didn’t want to cause a scene in public, so she held back."Move.""Stellar, I mean it this time," Percy pleaded, desperation creeping into his voice. "Why won’t you give me another chance?"As he reached out to take her hand, she smacked it away without hesitation."A second chance? Are you seriously joking right now?" a cool, mocking voice cut in from the side.Percy turned his head sharply, only to see Keith standing at Stellar’s side, arms crossed, his eyes glinting with disdain."Percy, do you even own a mirror? What makes you think you’re qualified to chase after her? You’re a joke.""Keith Sinclair," Percy ground out through gritted teeth, the old
