As the Fake Heiress Rose to Power, the CEO Falls Apart Chapter 470
Percy fell into a deep, heavy sleep.The next morning, he woke up with his eyes wide open, staring blankly at the ceiling.For a long time, he didn’t move.Then, all at once, he sat up, fists clenched tight.The more he thought about it, the more unsatisfied he felt.No, he had fought too hard to get back on his feet. He wasn’t about to give up now.It was time to change tactics.When it came to Stellar, he wasn’t letting go.…Back at the Institute, Stellar was working overtime, sorting through a series of technical issues.Ever since she’d handled the incident with Joy, the entire lab had started to look at her differently—with even more respect and admiration.After all, despite the underhanded trap set against her, she hadn’t panicked. She kept her head, led the team, and pushed through the crisis. That kind of composure and leadership wasn’t something you came across often.So now, whenever things got difficult, she was the first person they turned to.By noon, the problem had be

The call was from the Institute."I understand," Stellar said simply before hanging up. She turned to Percy, her tone polite but distant. "There’s been an issue with my project. I’ve been asked to return and work overtime. Could you give me a ride back?"Percy’s heart sank, but all he could do was nod and drive her back to the Institute.Just as she opened the door to get out, he lingered, eyes fixed on her, clearly struggling with something he wanted to say."Percy."She turned back, her eyes sharp, voice firm."We’ve both moved on. I’d appreciate it if you could let the past go and stop showing up like this. Whatever was between us—it’s over."She didn’t wait for his reaction. Without so much as a backward glance, she walked straight into the building.Percy stood frozen in place, as if struck by something sharp and unforgiving. His chest tightened, breath caught in his throat, pain spreading like a slow bleed.Closing his eyes for a long moment, he finally forced them open again

"Do you remember this place?" Percy asked gently. "I brought you here once before. You said you loved this flower field and wanted to plant roses, peonies, and tulips. I had them all planted for you."Of course, she remembered.Back then, she’d foolishly believed this estate was a wedding gift for the two of them. She’d even sketched out design ideas, full of excitement, counting down the days to their future.But in the end, he’d mocked her for overreaching, called her greedy and delusional.And she remembered one more thing. "Didn’t you give this place to another woman? What happened? She turned it down and sent it back?"Her voice was calm, almost indifferent.A flicker of embarrassment crossed Percy’s face. "Of course not. I was wrong back then. I bought it back—paid twice what it was worth. Because I knew how much you loved it."He led her through the garden, pointing things out with quiet effort. "See the gazebo and swing? I had them built in the style you used to like. Over t

Dawn stiffened in fear, goosebumps prickling across her skin.She never imagined Percy could make a comeback like this, standing tall at the peak of his career again. Regret and frustration gnawed at her. The money she’d wrung out of him before was already squandered, and under her mother’s pressure, she had no choice but to shamelessly cling to him again."Percy, I didn’t have a choice. It was my mom and my brother—they forced me. You know what it was like for me growing up. “I was used and drained by them. If I didn’t listen, I wouldn’t have survived. I never really wanted to hurt you."Tears welled in her eyes as she tried to look pitiful, hoping to soften him."Is that so?"Percy’s smile was icy as it tugged at the corner of his lips. "Well then, let me help you."Hope flared wildly in her chest. She thought he still had lingering feelings for her, that maybe he was ready to take her back."Really?""Of course." Percy tapped a few times on his phone, his expression darkly amuse

After her little tease, Stellar slipped away and returned home. She took a long, soothing shower, letting the steam clear her thoughts. But as she stepped out, she noticed her phone vibrating on the nightstand—several missed calls.She frowned when she saw the caller ID but still tapped to answer.“Why weren’t you picking up?” Percy’s voice came through, laced with frustration. “You promised we’d stay in touch.”“I said we’d stay in touch for work, Mr. Moore,” she replied coolly. “It’s late. If this isn’t work-related, I’d appreciate it if you didn’t disturb me.”Her detached tone hit him like a cold splash of water. Percy’s voice dropped, rough and low. “Stellar, I’m sorry… I just miss you. Tomorrow’s Saturday. Do you have time? I want to spend the day with you. Just one day. Please?”She almost laughed. “Have you lost your mind? What makes you think I’d agree to something so ridiculous? Goodbye.”She moved to hang up.“Wait…” Percy’s panic bled through. “If you say yes, I’ll tel

After Joy fled, Dean turned to Stellar with a deeply apologetic expression. “I’m so sorry, Miss Rivers. What happened was entirely my granddaughter’s doing. I owe you an apology and my thanks. You saved the entire project.”Stellar couldn’t help but feel a twinge of sympathy. For a man with such a long-standing reputation, having someone like Joy as a blemish on that legacy was a cruel twist.“I only did what needed to be done,” she said calmly.She didn’t make things hard for the old man. As far as she was concerned, the matter was settled.“Thank goodness!” Lilian chirped. “To celebrate our clean slate, dinner’s on me tonight!”She was in particularly high spirits after everything had been resolved. “And Stellar, make sure you invite your senior. He was the real MVP of this whole thing.”“Alright.” Stellar sent a message to Stephen.But this time, the reply wasn’t what she expected.“Sorry, I’ve got a dinner meeting with a project partner tonight. Can’t reschedule. You all go ahead

"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
