Chapter 604

Author: Warm Cocoa
Just as Stellar’s emotions were about to spiral out of control, Stephen reached out and wrapped an arm around her shoulders, steadying her.

“Stellar, don’t blame yourself right now,” he said calmly.

“What matters most is finding her. Let’s split up. I’ll coordinate manpower and pull the surveillance footage.”

“You’re right. Finding her comes first.”

They immediately rushed out the door.

...

At that moment, inside an abandoned warehouse, Suzy woke up with a sharp gasp, a bucket of cold water having been dumped straight over her head.

She shivered violently and snapped her eyes open, only to be met with the bloodshot, menacing glare of Thomas Page.

“You again!”

“What’s wrong? Surprised to see me?” Thomas’ face twisted with fury, his voice cold and venomous.

“Miss Walsh, you ruined me—crippled me, then even teamed up with Luna to finish me off. Now my own family’s cast me out. Tell me, how should I thank you for that?”

As he spoke, he pulled a gleaming knife from behind his back. The bl

    Stephen’s brows furrowed slightly, and his grip on the steering wheel tightened. After a beat, he pulled the car over to the side of the road."What’s wrong?" Stellar asked, confused."Stellar, there’s something I haven’t told you." He hesitated briefly, then finally spoke. "The attempted kidnapping last time wasn’t orchestrated by Percy."He went on to explain everything he had uncovered during his investigation, leaving nothing out."From what I found, once Percy learned what had happened, he broke ties with his superior and left. That’s when he returned to LeapTech to take over as CEO."Stellar was stunned. Percy had actually done something like that?Had he really turned over a new leaf?"I didn’t tell you before because I thought it didn’t matter—you two had no further connection. But now…" Stephen looked down at her, his voice calm. "If he can be of use to you, why not use him to achieve your goal?"Stellar blinked, studying him with an odd expression."What’s with that look?"

    Autumn felt a wave of helplessness but still hesitated a moment before trying again. "Rory, this development project is truly important. Is there really no room for compromise?""Oh, is that so?" Rory crossed her arms and stared at her coldly for a long moment. "If you want my help, fine, but only if you leave the country again and never come back."Autumn froze at the words."You’re in research anyway. You’d have better prospects abroad. So why bother staying here? Agree to that, and I’ll grant your request."Her tone was unyielding. It was clear she wanted her gone.But for Autumn, coming back after years of overseas study had always been about using her knowledge to serve her country. That was her line in the sand."I’m sorry, Rory. I can’t accept that condition.""So, you do plan to stay and compete with me!" Rory shot to her feet, eyes blazing. "Fine! You just wait and see what happens next!"They parted on a bitter note.Later, Autumn let out a deep sigh and reported the outcome

    Then they saw Stellar and Stephen emerge, one after the other, their fingers tightly interlaced.Stellar's cheeks were still slightly flushed, and her lips were plump and faintly swollen. Anyone with a bit of experience would know those marks came from kissing and biting.In that instant, the smile on Zayden’s face froze.It was as if he'd been struck in the head, pulled out of a beautiful dream and plunged into cold reality. He felt a chill from head to toe, like the blood in his veins had gone still.He had suspected their relationship had grown closer, maybe even crossed a line.But he’d still held onto a sliver of hope.Maybe she hadn’t made her choice yet.But reality made it brutally clear—he wasn’t that lucky.Stellar had made her choice, and once she did, no one could change her mind.It felt like something had been hollowed out of his chest, leaving only an empty ache.By contrast, Keith seemed much calmer. He had probably already guessed where Stellar’s heart lay.So, he sim

    Stellar's voice trembled slightly.The next second, Stephen slowly raised his hand and gently touched her cheek. "It's okay. Don’t worry."In the dim space, his gaze was deep and vast, like a starry galaxy, quietly reflecting her current expression.Their bodies were so close, even their rapid heartbeats seemed to merge."You..." Stellar's eyes shimmered, full of unreadable emotions. "How could you dare follow me down just now? What if the structure had collapsed? What if it was dangerous down here?"Stephen cupped her face, his voice hoarse, but his eyes blazed with intensity."I told you, even if it costs me my life, I’ll protect you. Without you, my life has no meaning."Stellar’s eyes stung with heat. Her heart felt as if it had been soaked in water, overwhelmed with emotion.In that moment, she forgot everything else and suddenly leaned forward, pressing her lips to his.The kiss was frantic, filled with the fear of losing something precious, as if she was desperate for confirmat

    "Aah!"Before Stellar could even scream, Zayden beat her to it with an exaggerated shout. "Senior, I'm so scared! Could you hold my hand…"Just as he reached out, Keith shot out his hand like lightning and grabbed it."Zay, if you were scared, you should've said so earlier. Come on, hold my hand tight. I will protect you."He deliberately interlaced their fingers like he was trying to gross him out.Zayden was so furious he almost spat blood.This bastard had sabotaged his attempts to get close to Stellar again and again.At that moment, his eyes flashed with hostility as he stared straight at Keith. "Mr. Sinclair, could you stop hovering over me like that? Anyone who doesn't know better might think you're secretly in love with me."Keith kept a straight face. "Can't help it. You're Stellar’s junior, and since I'm her closest friend, by extension you're kind of like my junior too. You get the idea."Zayden sneered. "Spare me the nonsense. We're the same age. I've already taken over th

    Stellar flinched and spun around, taking two quick steps back, only to crash into a warm, broad chest.“Careful, Senior,” Zayden steadied her with one arm around her shoulder, his tone apologetic. “Did I scare you? Sorry, I went to get this for you. I remembered you love strawberry ice cream.”He brought the ice cream from behind and held it out to her.Stellar was just about to take it when a hand suddenly gripped her wrist and tugged her forward.She stumbled straight into Stephen, their noses nearly brushing, their lips almost touching.They both froze, breath catching.The next second, a sun hat was placed on her head. Stephen’s eyes were gentle, his voice a lover’s murmur. “Looks good on you.”Stellar’s cheeks flushed, her heartbeat losing rhythm.Just as the moment grew more charged, a plush toy appeared between them.Keith had somehow walked over without them noticing, his tone light as if by chance. “Limited-edition Vicky plush. This is the last one. Like it?”Stellar quickly
