Chapter 680

작가: Warm Cocoa
Winnie’s heart skipped a beat.

Did he somehow find out what had happened between them before?

But the next second, Edwin continued, “So you’re overthinking it. I’ll introduce you two properly another time.”

Only then did Winnie feel a bit of relief.

She didn’t dare bring up Stellar again and quickly shifted the topic.

“By the way, once the compensation comes through, I can finally repay the surgery fees you covered for my father.”

“There’s no rush. Your father still needs time to recover. Just focus on him for now,” Edwin said casually, clearly not bothered.

“No, I gave my word, and I intend to keep it. If I didn’t pay you back, that’d be dishonest,” Winnie replied firmly, her eyes resolute.

For a moment, Edwin was caught off guard.

He thought he saw a glimpse of someone he used to know in her expression.

But just as quickly, Winnie smiled again. “Anyway, we should celebrate the court win. Come on, let’s go out and toast to it.”

Edwin didn’t turn her down.

  • As the Fake Heiress Rose to Power, the CEO Falls Apart   Chapter 696

    "That’s truly a pity. Next time we get the chance, we must work together properly!"Though Adrian sounded regretful, he didn’t press the issue."Business aside, we’re still friends. Mr. Ward, Miss Anna, how about I show you around this afternoon?" he offered with a smile."No need. I’ve booked a two o’clock flight, and we still have other matters to handle. I’ll have to pass on your kind invitation this time. “But if you ever visit back home, I’ll be sure to host you personally," Stephen replied, delivering the lines he had prepared in advance.At the mention of visiting their country, something flickered in Adrian’s eyes—an evasive hesitation, even a hint of resistance. "Let’s leave that for another time.""Of course. Until next time then." Stephen’s smile held a subtle edge.They parted on "friendly" terms. But as he watched them walk away, the smile on Adrian’s face faded, replaced by a dark, brooding shadow.…Meanwhile, Stellar boarded a private jet home with Stephen.This tri

    "Don’t worry. Now that we’ve taken the first step, all we need to do is follow this trail. We’ll uncover the truth sooner or later. No matter what happens, I’ll be right here with you."Stephen’s voice was low, but it carried the kind of strength that steadied her from within.Stellar’s restless heart slowly began to settle. She looked up and gave him a soft smile.They carefully returned the files to their original spot, then slipped quietly out of the headquarters.Back in the car, they headed straight for the hotel.After all, Adrian was still in the private room. If they wanted to keep their movements unnoticed, they had to return everything before he woke up, making it seem like he had just passed out from too much wine.The drive back was quiet, neither of them speaking much.It wasn’t until they neared the hotel that Stephen broke the silence. “Are you planning to tell your mother or uncles about this?”Snapped out of her thoughts, Stellar replied, “Not yet. We still don’t kno

    "Looks like someone nearby deliberately cut the line. Go check what's going on."The guards outside suddenly scrambled in confusion, footsteps quickly fading into the distance.Stellar immediately realized this had to be Stephen’s people at work.But before she could ask, he had already taken her hand and led her out of the car. The two of them moved cautiously, avoiding detection by the security patrols, and eventually slipped into the building undetected.Following the information they had obtained from Adrian, they took the elevator straight to the top floor.The archive room was tucked away in the farthest corner.They exchanged a glance, then nodded.Stellar stepped forward and pulled out the key, sliding it into the lock.With two twists, there was a click—the door unlocked.She lit up, about to push the door open, when Stephen pulled her behind him and stepped in first.No alarms went off, and with the surveillance system disabled, the place was silent.Only then did he let Ste

    They had already planned everything before coming here.A man like Adrian, capable of running a powerful multinational corporation, wasn’t someone easy to deal with.The only chance to extract any real information was when he had completely let his guard down.So, from the moment they stepped into the private room, they were working in sync.The unique scent Adrian had noticed at the beginning was actually the drug’s aroma.After prolonged exposure, it gradually relaxed his mind. By the time Stellar handed him the spiked glass of wine, he had slipped into a trance-like state, almost hypnotized.“It’s not really that mystical. It just works like a kind of truth serum used in specialized interrogations,” Stephen explained briefly, then signaled for her to start asking the real questions.Stellar immediately began. “Do you know Arianne Rivers?”Adrian nodded.She asked about her father next, and again, he nodded.Taking a deep breath, Stellar braced herself and went straight to the core.

    Today, she dressed with a sharp, professional flair, wearing a tailored skirt suit paired with a silk blouse and five-centimeter heels.She had also used light disguise makeup to conceal her defining features, replacing her usual youthful charm with a more sultry allure.Her softly curled long hair added a touch of elegance and sophistication.Even if Aurevis’s CEO saw her, he wouldn’t recognize her as Stellar, nor would he ever connect her to her parents.They met shortly after in a private room at the hotel as scheduled.As soon as they entered, they spotted a middle-aged man in his forties or fifties. He was well-groomed, though the shrewd calculation in his eyes revealed a keen and assessing mind.Still, the moment he laid eyes on Stellar, a flicker of astonishment passed through his gaze. A faint, distinctive fragrance lingered near his nose.He quickly adjusted his expression and greeted them with a practiced smile.“Mr. Ward, I’ve heard a great deal about you. I didn’t expect

    The car pulled up in front of the lab.“We’re here.”Just before getting out, Stellar suddenly leaned over and planted a quick kiss on his cheek, then swiftly grabbed the phone next to her and opened the door.“I’ll miss you. Come back soon.”Her words drifted away in the breeze.A satisfied smile tugged at the corners of Stephen’s lips.Stellar didn’t relax until she was inside the building. Her cheeks were still warm.She picked up the phone to check the time, only to realize, to her surprise, that she had accidentally taken Stephen’s phone in her rush.Her lips twitched, and she quickly turned to run back out to exchange it.But just then, a new message popped up on the screen.“Mr. Ward, the plane tickets are arranged. This mission involves some risk. Should we assign someone to accompany you?”She froze, staring at the screen, her fingers tightening around the phone.Fifteen minutes later.Stellar stepped out of the lab with a heavy heart. As expected, Stephen was still waiting b
