Chapter 503

Author: Warm Cocoa
Aiden knew just how tough this project was.

He’d spent nearly a month preparing—reviewing material, crafting talking points, rehearsing how to slowly win Kenneth over.

He was ready for a long, drawn-out negotiation.

Yet in just thirty minutes, Suzy had sealed the deal?

That was impossible.

“Well, Mr. Zane, you do look like you're having a hard time accepting that I pulled it off,” Suzy said, stepping out gracefully from behind them, her tone light with a trace of amusement.

“Could it be… you have a problem with me?”

Aiden’s face froze.

“Of course not,” Victor quickly cut in to smooth things over.

“He’s just overwhelmed and impressed by how capable you are. That’s all.”

“Yes, exactly!” Aiden forced a laugh. “Miss Suzy, you’re not only beautiful but clearly brilliant too. Truly admirable.”

Victor nodded in support. “Indeed, congratulations.”

“Thank you,” Suzy replied with a modest smile, before smoothly shifting gears.

    Listening to her agent ramble on, Suzy finally snapped fully awake.Right then, Stellar walked in and handed her the phone with the news pulled up, even reading the headlines aloud—“Heiress Chases Her Dreams in the Entertainment Industry!”“Is this what they mean by ‘If I don’t make it, I’ll just go home and inherit the family fortune’?”“She’s gorgeous and badass! Not only is she stunning on screen, but she also handles business moguls with grace. I'm obsessed!”It turned out someone had filmed Suzy at last night’s banquet and posted the video online, sparking a frenzy.A beautiful actress with the added allure of a wealthy background—she was like a heroine straight out of a novel.Clips from her past films and variety shows resurfaced. People dug up her old interviews, charmed by her wit and effortless charisma. With her bold personality and striking looks, she came across like a queen—one people couldn’t help but admire."You have no idea. People are booking out your screenings l

    After getting back in the car, Stellar and Suzy exchanged a look and couldn't hold back their laughter."Did you see his face just now? He was so furious his temple was twitching, but he still forced a smile at me."Suzy laughed until she was out of breath, then sighed. "His acting isn't even that convincing—definitely not as good as mine back in the entertainment industry. "And yet, it took me this long to notice the cracks. If you hadn’t pointed it out, I probably would’ve kept being fooled."After all, it was a bond that had lasted nearly two decades.To suddenly realize the person she trusted most had been hiding ill intentions all along was hard to swallow.She wondered how her mother would react if she ever found out.Just then, Stellar gently patted her on the shoulder."It's not your fault. The ones at fault are those who exploit kindness and pretend to be decent. "What we need to do now is uncover who he really is and figure out what those two are really planning."Suzy nod

    Before Leamon could call out, Aiden moved fast.He shoved a cloth over his mouth and dragged him back just long enough for security to haul him away.No one in the room showed an ounce of sympathy.Instead, all eyes returned to Suzy, their curiosity now replaced with admiration.“So she really is a celebrity... No wonder she’s so stunning. I didn’t expect someone from the entertainment industry to handle herself so well in a business negotiation. Truly impressive!”“She’s a wealthy heiress too. Smart, resourceful, and comes from money. Why would she need to sleep her way to success? That man should be ashamed of himself. What a disgusting accusation.”Some guests had already begun discreetly recording videos on their phones, uploading Suzy’s composed rebuttal and glowing presence to social media.As the wave of praise rippled louder, Victor’s face darkened.But with the situation now completely reversed, he had no choice but to act concerned. He stepped forward, his expression full of

    “I should show respect? That’s rich coming from you,” the man sneered, his expression twisting with disgust. “Running around between men at such a young age—you’ve probably already picked up something filthy. I wouldn’t touch you even if you begged.”The room buzzed with whispers.“Isn’t that Mr. Maxwell from Maxwell Group?”“Didn’t he invest in film projects before? Could what he’s saying be true?”“Hard to believe someone that gorgeous could be… one of those kinds of actresses.”One rumor festered into another, each more venomous than the last.From a corner of the room, Victor and Aiden watched with amusement, clearly enjoying the chaos.But Stellar’s expression had completely changed. Her hands clenched into fists, and the fury in her eyes nearly set the air ablaze.Just as she stepped forward, Suzy reached out and gently grabbed her arm, patting her hand as a silent plea to stay calm.In the entertainment world, she’d heard far worse. Arguing would only play into the trap—tryin

    It was Stellar's idea to have the celebration dinner.When Suzy thanked her again, Stellar simply gave her a reassuring pat on the shoulder. “Alright, don’t sell yourself short. You’ve got a sharp mind. I was just tossing out pointers through the earpiece—you were the one who caught on immediately and turned them into smarter, smoother lines that won him over completely.”That, too, came from years of experience on set.After playing so many roles across different genres, delivering countless lines, Suzy had developed a strong presence. She didn’t falter under pressure, and that confidence was what sealed the deal.“I’m not that good,” Suzy mumbled, cheeks flushed, though the proud curve of her lips betrayed her.“Come on, let’s get you styled for tonight. You have to look absolutely stunning. Make sure everyone in the company remembers who the real heiress is.”Stellar linked arms with her, and the two headed off to the salon. They spent a full two hours there getting Suzy glamme

    Victor’s eyelid twitched hard. Was this girl out of her mind?She actually accepted the proposal? Was she in a rush to tank the deal?Then again, the thought made him pause for a while. Maybe this wasn’t such a bad outcome after all. If she ruined the negotiation, Sylvia would finally lose all patience with her. That would bring him one step closer to his goal.“Alright. The partner should be arriving in about half an hour,” he said, picking up a thick stack of documents from the table and handing them to Suzy. “Take a look through these. Think about how you’ll approach the conversation. Aiden and I will leave you to it.”After shooting Aiden a knowing glance, the two left the meeting room.“You’re seriously giving her the lead?” Aiden panicked the moment the door closed. “What if she screws it up…”“Wouldn’t that be perfect?” Victor gave him a smile laced with quiet satisfaction.Aiden froze, then suddenly understood.“Uncle, you really do think further ahead than the rest of us

    Aiden quickly caught on and pulled out a box from his coat, looking slightly nervous. "Miss Suzy, since it’s our first time meeting, I’ve prepared a small gift for you. I hope you’ll accept it."Inside the box was a diamond-studded brooch, clearly expensive.But Suzy remained unmoved. "This is too much. I really can’t accept it."Aiden’s smile stiffened a little."There’s no need to be so formal," Victor chimed in to ease the moment. "Just take it as a gesture of goodwill."Suzy brought her mother into it. "Really, I’d rather not. If Mom found out I was accepting gifts from a man so casually, she’d be upset."That shut Victor up as well."It’s… it’s alright," Aiden recovered quickly. "Please, come in and have a seat! I heard Miss Suzy enjoys tea, so I ordered a few different kinds in advance. Feel free to pick whichever you like."This time, Suzy offered a polite thank-you, then picked a cup for herself and another for Stellar.She smiled and waved at Victor. "Victor, you should have

    Victor tried to steer the conversation away with a polite decline, sweetening it with a familiar offer. “Why don’t you just take Stellar out to explore and enjoy some good food? Whatever you want to eat or buy, it’s on me.”This tactic had always worked on Suzy before.She loved acting, hated office work, and usually wouldn’t dream of getting involved in corporate matters.But this time, he was dealing with Stellar.“Mr. Victor, are you sure you don’t want me at the company because you’re afraid I might steal trade secrets?” she asked, dropping her gaze with a disappointed look. “If that’s the case… I guess I should just head home.”“Stellar, wait, don’t go!” Suzy immediately jumped in, turning to Victor with an imploring tone. “Victor, that’s not what you meant, right? Please explain it to her, she can get in her head sometimes...”The two played off each other perfectly, their teamwork seamless.A faint twitch appeared at Victor’s temple.At this point, saying no again would only
