Chapter 703

Penulis: Warm Cocoa
Percy pressed on. “When I thought I was about to die, all I felt was regret and frustration.

“I kept asking myself—why did I do such foolish things? If I had another chance at life, I’d cherish you, love you right, and never let you get hurt again.”

He looked at her with deep emotion, laying bare his heart.

“You don’t need to say any more,” Stellar cut in calmly.

“There’s no such thing as a second chance. You’re still alive and well, so stop dwelling on what-ifs.”

Even if Percy had saved her, even if she felt grateful and guilty, it didn’t mean she would choose him again.

“Why? Can’t you see how I feel about you? I don’t think I love you any less than Stephen does.”

Panic flitted across Percy’s face as he suddenly grabbed her hand.

“I know you still have feelings for me. Stellar, when I was on the brink of death, you panicked—you were so worried.

“That wasn’t nothing. It’s clear you still care. Why won’t you just face that truth? Is it because of Stephen?”

Stellar frowned, finding

    “We still need to stay alert,” Stephen said as he stepped closer, bracing one hand on the back of her chair. “Watch out, he might not be done yet.”Someone like Adrian wouldn’t give up just because one plan failed.Stellar understood that well. She couldn’t predict his next move, but if he came for her, she’d handle it as it came.It only took two days for Adrian’s next move to surface.During that time, Rivers Corporation’s stock experienced unusual activity.A sudden wave of buyers flooded in, pushing the share price up by over ten percent.“Looks like someone’s secretly buying up shares,” Stephen said as he analyzed the latest report. “It’s subtle, but the money’s coming from several offshore shell companies.”Stellar caught on immediately. “Adrian’s behind this.”“Exactly,” Stephen replied, his expression darkening. “This is how Aurevis operates—using a network of dummy companies to acquire control quietly. “If they keep buying and pass the fifty percent threshold, plus gather

    Aurevis Group had originally planned to win this battle with aggressive price cuts.But within just two days, they were thoroughly and publicly humiliated.Their product had become so unwanted, it might as well not exist.Adrian was livid.“Useless idiots!”He swept everything off his desk, sending papers, pens, and equipment crashing to the floor. “I pay you a fortune, and this is what I get? You can’t even handle a company as ‘small’ as Rivers Corporation. You’re all getting stomped on by a woman! Pathetic!”His team stood in silence, heads lowered, taking the outburst in stride.But mentally, they were all rolling their eyes.Small company? Please. Rivers Corporation was an empire.And wasn’t their boss the one who couldn’t outplay that woman?They’d only followed his lead, yet now he blamed them for everything.Clearly, the real problem was him.Of course, none of them dared say a word.“Get out—all of you!”Adrian's fury burned like a storm trapped inside him, veins bulging at hi

    “Aurevis’s move to slash prices may look like a blow to our product, but what it really shows is their fear. They know they can’t compete with us head-on. What they didn’t count on, though…”Under everyone’s curious gaze, he added meaningfully, “…is the patriotic spirit of our domestic consumers.”Stellar raised a brow, catching on immediately. Their unspoken understanding sparked an idea. “You’re saying…”“We turn this business rivalry into a fight to protect national innovation.”Her eyes lit up. “You mean we launch a public pushback?”Stephen nodded. “Exactly, the aerospace community here is huge. If people find out a foreign corporate giant is trying to crush a local breakthrough, there will be backlash.”The rest of the team looked stunned.At first, they struggled to follow the logic. Even when they caught up, their confidence still wavered.“Leave this to me,” Stellar said. A campaign like this would hinge on messaging—every headline and phrase had to strike the right chord.

    Stellar was part of the Rivers family, the wealthiest and most powerful name in Southport.The revelation sent a fresh wave of shock through the crowd.Most could only marvel with a mix of envy and awe.How was it that others raised daughters like her, while their own children could barely stay afloat?To strangers, it was admiration tinged with regret.But in the far back corner of the hall, Percy and his parents sat frozen, their expressions dark with remorse and conflicting emotions.“If I’d known she’d turn out like this, I would’ve approved the marriage years ago,” William muttered, voice thick with regret. “You should’ve married her when you had the chance.”“What are you saying?!” Margaret’s voice shot up in protest. “I went to prison because of that little witch! I only just got out, and now you’re taking her side?”William turned to her with a look of sheer disgust. “You’ve got some nerve bringing that up. You tried to hurt her and ended up paying the price. “All these yea

    Stellar quickly waved it off. “No need. It’s just a small ceremony. You all have packed schedules. There’s really no need to attend.”“Nonsense. How could I miss such an important moment for my granddaughter?” Laurence insisted.In the end, the elders agreed they would all attend together.Stellar didn’t have the heart to turn down their kindness.On the day of the award ceremony, the hall was packed. Reporters stood ready with their gear, preparing to capture every moment.It wasn’t just the leaders from the National Aerospace Institute in attendance—industry elites and high-profile investors from all sectors had shown up as well.Laurence and Martha arrived dressed impeccably, calm and dignified, escorted by Wayne and Mary. They took their seats front and center in the first row, their presence impossible to ignore.Even the business magnates around them were visibly surprised.“Aren’t those the Rivers family's senior heads from Southport? They rarely show up at public events like

    But when Stellar stepped outside, she found Lilian and the others gathered a short distance away, waving excitedly. “Stellar, come look at this!”Curious, she walked over and saw a chunk of mineral on the ground.“Take a look through the microscope. Does this match the rare mineral we’ve been searching for?” Lilian handed her the device.Stellar’s eyes lit up as she quickly leaned in to examine it.The mineral displayed a unique hexagonal crystal structure, shimmering with an unusual blue hue under the sunlight.“This is it!”Her voice was filled with delight. She never imagined they’d find the mineral here, especially when they thought they’d need to cross the canyon and venture deeper.“But how?” she asked, frowning. “The geological map didn’t indicate any deposits on this side.”Stephen stepped closer and offered a theory. “Might be the terrain. With all the rain, mudslides could’ve shifted the mountain structure. It’s really a lucky break.”If it hadn’t poured that night, they wou
