Chapter 577

작가: Warm Cocoa
“What… what are you talking about?” Claude looked momentarily guilty and rushed to explain.

“This project was originally meant for Edwin, but he’s been in a bit of a slump lately, maybe something to do with personal issues.

"I was worried he might not be in the right mind and could botch the deal, so I figured you could help keep things on track.”

Stellar paused, caught off guard, and her attention quickly shifted. “Is he doing that badly?”

Claude nodded, then hesitated for a couple of seconds.

“Yeah... let’s just say it’s the worst I’ve seen him in a long time. I was hoping you could look out for him a bit, maybe help him pull through.”

“Of course.”

When it came to her family, Stellar never hesitated.

After Claude left, Stellar picked up her phone and called Suzy.

The line barely rang before it connected.

“Suzy, how’ve you been? Has your stepfather been giving you trouble?” she asked with concern.

“He’s tried, but I’ve got more support than he expected. I’ve gone a few rounds with

  • As the Fake Heiress Rose to Power, the CEO Falls Apart   Chapter 666

    “Ah—!”The man let out a cry of pain as the bouquet in his hands scattered across the ground.Under the flickering neon lights on the street, Stellar finally got a good look at him—a man in his forties, well-dressed in a suit, clearly someone who paid attention to his appearance. Next to him lay the fallen bouquet.But she had no time to care about his condition. She quickly turned to Autumn in concern. “Autumn, are you alright?”“I-I’m fine.” Autumn had sobered up entirely, looking slightly embarrassed as she glanced at the man on the ground. “Mr. Hall, are you okay? My junior didn’t mean to hurt you. She just thought you were a threat… I’m really sorry.”A flicker of discomfort crossed Alex Hall’s eyes.He scrambled to his feet, trying to maintain a polite expression. “No, it’s fine! It’s my fault. I was just overly concerned seeing you return so late and ended up overstepping. That was inappropriate on my part. I sincerely apologize.”Stellar realized she might have misunderstood

    Just then, two figures walked in one after the other, their steps in perfect sync.It was clearly Stellar and Autumn.Ryder staggered back a few steps, eyes wide with disbelief. "You… How are you two here?!""You're the fool here."Stellar crossed her arms, a faint smirk tugging at her lips. "You actually believed a set of half-true data and rushed to hold a press conference, broadcasting a live explosion no less. Even I didn’t expect someone to be that stupid."Ryder's eyes widened sharply. In that instant, realization struck. "You planted that fake intel and let him steal it on purpose? You played me?""To be precise, it wasn’t just me," Stellar replied, her smile radiant.Ryder froze."You really thought people from Capital City were that easy to buy?" A voice came from behind.Ryder turned around in shock.It was Henry, and the fear in his expression was long gone. Instead, his face was laced with scorn. "Did you really think dangling empty promises and a seduction attempt would

    The live feed on the big screen cut off abruptly, the final frozen image lingering on smoldering wreckage and scattered papers caught in the smoke.For several seconds, the entire press hall fell into dead silence.Ryder’s smug smile hadn’t even had time to fade when the microphone slipped from his hand and clattered to the floor.The next moment, chaos erupted.“Unbelievable! This is the so-called groundbreaking tech of Redline Research Institute? What a joke!”“I flew in just to witness this nonsense? What a complete insult to my intelligence!”The tech crowd in the audience surged to their feet, voices full of disbelief and mockery.Ryder’s face turned deathly pale, cold sweat beading across his forehead. Not in his worst nightmares had he imagined this outcome.He’d orchestrated every detail of this event, dreaming of putting his institute on the global map, only for it to blow up, quite literally, in front of a worldwide audience.In the end, he was forced to flee the press confe

  • As the Fake Heiress Rose to Power, the CEO Falls Apart   Chapter 663

    Back home, Stellar had just stepped out of the lab after wrapping up her research when she overheard a group of researchers whispering nearby.“Word is, Redline Research Institute overseas is about to hold a tech press conference to announce the latest progress on their engine development.”“No way! Are they working on the same topic as us?”“I know the man behind that institute. Ryder Mills, the most notorious profiteer in Norton City. He’ll do anything to get what he wants. I seriously doubt someone like him could pull off real innovation.”“The broadcast will be live globally. I’m definitely tuning in.”At that, Stellar raised an eyebrow.It was Redline Research Institute again.That foreign tycoon really was like a shadow that wouldn’t go away.“What livestream? Let me have a look too,” she said, stepping closer and suggesting they all take a break to watch together.Everyone agreed.It would be interesting to see how international labs compared to their own.As the hour arrived, t

    Jennie laid on the flattery thick, coaxing Henry until he was completely swept up in the moment. When he finally nodded, she knew she had him.“All right, I’ll do it.”“I knew it! Mr. Saw, you’re truly decisive!” Jennie beamed with delight. “Then to celebrate our partnership, let’s enjoy a proper drink tonight.”“Sure, yeah!” Henry chuckled foolishly but then hesitated. “Wait, no, I can’t get drunk tonight. I need to stay clearheaded to carry this out.”Jennie raised a brow, surprised by how eager and cooperative he was.Men like him really weren’t any different from what she’d expected.“Fine. Just two drinks, then. Just enough to toast our success.”After the drinks, she watched him disappear into the night, the seductive smile on her face slowly fading. Pulling out her phone, she dialed a number.“Ryder, the target’s secured. Just wait for results.”“That fast? Are you sure?” Ryder’s tone was laced with doubt.Jennie’s crimson lips curled again, her eyes burning with ambition. “

    Henry’s expression wavered, and for a brief moment, the vision Jennie painted began to take shape in his mind.But just as quickly, he shook his head, forcing himself back to reality. “No. I have a wife and child, in-laws... They all rely on me.”“Only the child is truly yours,” Jennie said sweetly, not missing a beat. “The rest? Just burdens you never should've carried. If you’re willing, you can take your child and start over abroad. Everything else? Leave it behind.”She pulled out every trick, casting a dazzling picture of what could be. A future brimming with freedom and prestige.Henry wavered again, and then she suddenly leaned in and planted a kiss on his cheek with an audible “mwah.”“Mr. Saw, I adore men like you—strong, ambitious, full of potential. I’ll be waiting for the good news.”With that, Jennie slipped the sleek name card into his coat pocket and walked away without pressing for an answer, leaving behind a shaken Henry, rooted to the spot.The next day.Henry retu
