Chapter 580

Penulis: Warm Cocoa
“N-No, that’s not it.” Winnie looked utterly ashamed.

“I’m not asking for your forgiveness. I just wanted you to know that I never meant you any harm.”

Stellar’s tone sharpened with irritation.

“Save it. You don’t need to keep pretending we were ever friends. Your identity was fake, wasn’t it?”

“I only lied about the company name. Everything else was real. I really did attend the expo as Mr. Yoon’s assistant, and I genuinely wanted to be friends with you…”

Stellar cut her off, her voice turning razor-sharp.

“Then tell me, what’s your connection to Yvonne Harlow? What did she use to threaten you?”

Winnie went silent.

It took a long moment before she finally spoke, looking conflicted.

“I’m sorry… I can’t tell you that yet. But please believe me, I never had bad intentions.”

Stellar wasn’t buying it. Her tone turned icy.

“You refuse to say anything, and you’re not afraid I’ll press charges? Have you arrested for assault?”

Winnie flinched at that, but after a beat, her expression

    Claude's tone was filled with frustration.Whatever the person on the other end of the line said must’ve really pushed his buttons, because he snapped, “Fine, fine! If you feel like you owe her and just have to help, then go ahead. Don’t ask for my opinion.”With that, he ended the call abruptly, still visibly annoyed.As he turned around, he was startled to find Stellar standing right behind him.“Stellar… you heard that?” he asked cautiously.Stellar raised an eyebrow. “Was that about Uncle Edwin and that woman?”“Y-yeah,” Claude admitted, a little nervous.He knew his niece had strong opinions about Edwin’s past relationship, and he was worried she might be upset.But this time, Stellar stayed calm. “What’s going on?”“I don’t know the full story,” Claude replied. “Just that he wants to help her with a lawsuit. He asked if I knew any top-tier attorneys in the field…”When he finished explaining, Stellar gave him a knowing look. “You were angry when you hung up, but you weren’t actua

    The next morning.Just as Stellar was about to head out to the lab, her grandparents suddenly called out to her.“Wait a moment, sweetheart.” Martha approached holding two neatly packed food containers. “I made fresh strawberry cakes this morning. Take them with you and share them with Miss Autumn at the lab.”“Thank you, Grandma.” Stellar took the boxes with a smile. “I will.”Right then, Laurence also stepped forward, handing her an old, worn book. “And this. I heard Miss Autumn likes antique texts—I happen to have one in my collection. Bring it to her.”“Alright.” Though Stellar found their enthusiasm a bit unusual, she simply chalked it up to kindness.Later, during her lunch break, she shared the cakes with Autumn and passed along the book, relaying her grandparents’ words.Autumn was clearly touched. “Please thank them for me. When I have the time, I’ll be sure to visit them myself.”She cradled the book gently, flipping through its pages with obvious delight, then picked up a pi

    “Alright…” Lilian shot up, ready to fire her next question.But before she could speak, Stellar, worried she might ask something too wild, quickly cut in. “Lilian, keep it appropriate. There are elders around, don’t go any further than the last question.”“Ugh…”Lilian pouted in disappointment.Stellar’s mouth twitched. This girl was really planning to ask something that couldn’t be said out loud!She might’ve been bold enough to ask, but Stephen definitely wouldn’t be bold enough to answer.“Fine, fine.” Lilian gave in with a dramatic sigh, folded her arms, and tilted her head in thought. After a few seconds, her eyes lit up mischievously. “Okay, Senior, I want to know… is there someone in this room you have mutual feelings for?”The moment the words landed, both Stephen and Stellar skipped a heartbeat.Their eyes met instantly, a reflex more natural than thought.They didn’t need to speak. One look and one shared breath was enough to give them away.Every spectator in the room lean

    The elderly couple exchanged a glance, tears nearly welling up in their eyes.In that moment, they both had the same thought.But with it came a deeper question—what exactly had happened all those years ago to lead to such an outcome?Watching Autumn lower her head in silence, Martha’s gaze flickered.“Your hair’s a bit messy…”With a kind smile, she reached out and gently tucked a few strands away from Autumn’s forehead.As she withdrew her hand, she subtly slipped the strands into a handkerchief and tucked it into her pocket.Autumn looked a little embarrassed. “Thank you.”“Don’t give up on finding your family, dear,” Laurence said meaningfully. “You might be reunited sooner than you think.”Autumn, however, simply took it as a kind attempt to comfort her and didn’t think much of it....Unaware of what had just transpired between her grandparents and Autumn, Stellar was with a group of young people, playing a round of truth or dare.A glass bottle spun across the smooth wooden coff

    "Did Stellar mention me to you?" Autumn smiled gently, her eyes warm. "I'm Autumn Lane. It's truly an honor to meet you, ma’am. I don’t know why, but you feel incredibly familiar to me.""What a coincidence, I feel the same way." Martha took her hand and invited her to sit. They began chatting about Stellar, and the more they talked, the more natural and comfortable the connection became.Laurence, seated nearby, already had his suspicions. He’d checked discreetly the last time they met—there was no sign of that distinctive birthmark on Autumn’s neck.She couldn’t be their daughter.But seeing how happy Martha was, he couldn't bring himself to interrupt.Martha, unaware of his thoughts, felt the familiarity growing with every exchange. Even after two decades, she still remembered exactly how it felt to talk with her daughter. The way they were connecting now was just the same.As the atmosphere grew more relaxed, Martha casually tested the waters."Come to think of it, I attended

    Martha’s curiosity was piqued as well.“Oh? Is Autumn the one treating us?”Just then, Laurence came downstairs after wrapping up some quiet time in his study.“In that case, I suppose I should show up for her sake.”Martha looked surprised. “Don’t you usually avoid lively gatherings like this?”“This is a celebration for our granddaughter’s successful research and development project. How could we miss it? And that Autumn girl—you’ll like her once you meet her.”That only made Martha more curious. “Well, now I really must see for myself.”Stellar beamed with delight when both elders agreed.“Alright, Grandpa, Grandma, get ready. I’ll head upstairs and change. Then we’ll head out.”Once upstairs, she quietly pulled out her phone and made a call.After she was done and came back downstairs with the two elders, Stephen happened to be walking out of the villa across the street.“What a coincidence, Stephen. You just got back too?”Stellar acted surprised and took the chance to invite him
