Chapter 728

Author: Warm Cocoa
“You ruined an entire family. You’re no better than a monster!”

More colleagues passed by, their faces twisted in disgust as they hurled insults his way.

Spit and curses practically rained down on Alex.

His expression was panicked, but he couldn’t get a word in edgewise.

Then, from somewhere in the crowd, someone launched a few eggs straight at him.

They hit with wet cracks, yolk dripping down his hair, face, and clothes.

Alex wiped his face and exploded, screaming, “Who did that? Who the hell do you think you are? You have no right to treat me like this! I’ll report you all!”

“Report us?” a colleague snapped. “You stole someone’s future. That’s a crime. You’ll be lucky if prison’s all you get.”

Alex froze like he’d been struck by lightning.

It was clear he hadn’t even considered the possibility of going to jail.

Right then, a police siren wailed outside the building.

Several uniformed officers stepped out of the car and approached, handcuffs in hand.

    “No need to thank me.”Since Yvonne enjoyed putting on a show, Stellar played along. “I’m just naturally kind. If there's ever a next time, I’ll still be there to help you back into prison for a proper reformation.”The smile on Yvonne’s lips finally faded.Her time behind bars had been the most brutal, humiliating chapter of her life.And this this bitch had just jabbed straight at that wound.She clenched her champagne glass tightly, forcing down the surge of hatred in her chest, and slowly curved her lips into a meaningful smile. “You know, we could’ve been good sisters. Did you know? All these years, my uncle’s never stopped thinking about you. He really wants to see you.”At the mention of Jonathan, Stellar’s eyelid twitched.She immediately thought of her parents’ entanglement with the Brook family. Her gaze darkened, voice calm. “That has nothing to do with me. We stopped being family a long time ago. There’s no reason to meet.”“If my uncle heard that, he’d be heartbroken,” Y

    The next day.Despite the chaos at the launch event, everything had ultimately ended on a high note—Stellar and Stephen’s new project had been well received.Thanks to their outstanding performance, both were invited to an exclusive banquet honoring distinguished figures.It was the kind of gathering where elites from all industries mingled, and truthfully, they didn’t have to attend.But since it was their first invitation to such an event, they decided to go together.That afternoon, Stellar wore a silver-blue satin mermaid gown. The smooth cut traced her elegant curves, and a necklace of sea-blue gemstones shimmered at her neck.She entered the venue with her arm tucked into Stephen’s. He wore a matching velvet suit and a watch in the same cool-toned palette, his presence refined and striking.The moment they walked in, heads turned their way.Many guests approached to greet them.After all, they were the most talked-about pair at the moment.Stellar, already accustomed to such oc

    Pushing open the door, Stellar stepped in and pulled the blindfold off Tori’s eyes.As her surroundings came into view, Tori nearly broke down in tears.Those two short hours had felt like the cruelest form of torture she’d ever endured.“Enough. Time to get to the point,” Stellar said coldly, having no patience left for games.“I—I’ll talk…” Tori choked out, no longer defiant. “At first, I didn’t know who the person behind it all was. When I got out of prison, it was a lawyer who arranged my release. “I’ve kept in contact with this person behind the scenes, but I honestly don’t know who they are…”Stellar’s eyes narrowed. “So, you’re playing me?”“No, no, it’s not like that! Just let me finish,” Tori quickly defended herself. “I may not know who the mastermind is, but the lawyer does. Once, I overheard him on the phone—he called the person on the other end ‘Miss Harlow.’”The words Miss Harlow made Stellar freeze.Her mind spun as she instinctively turned to glance at Stephen.Both

    “I won’t lay a hand on you, but don’t expect to leave this place anytime soon.”A heavy sense of dread rose in Tori’s chest. “What are you planning?”“For the next seven days, you’ll have your eyes covered. No one will speak to you. You’ll be tied up right here, and above your head, a single drop of water will fall at intervals—again and again. “That’s how you’ll spend the next few days: counting time, one drop at a time.”Stellar said it all in a light, almost casual tone, then turned and walked out.Tori stared ahead, stunned.She’d heard of this method—“water drop torture.”It was a torment that slowly broke people down, a fate worse than death.“No! You can’t do this to me! This is illegal! Let me out! Let me go!”She would rather serve jail time than endure something like this.At the door, Stellar finally turned back. “You have the nerve to talk to me about the law? Too late.”With that, she walked out and didn’t look back.Moments later, someone entered the room and blindfolded

    And yet, here she was, reappearing in the most vicious way, nearly taking Stellar’s life.“So what if it’s me?” Tori’s face twisted with rage, her eyes gleaming with venom. “Stellar, you ruined me. If you hadn’t meddled from the start, Suzy would never have stolen my spotlight. “Then you went and took Zayden Moore from me—my biggest backer! You destroyed my career and dragged my name through the mud. I want you dead!”After getting released on bail and clearing her name, Tori had thought she could make a grand comeback, earn a fortune in the industry again, and live a glamorous life.But reality had slapped her in the face.All her former partners cut ties with her, no one wanted to work with a liability. Her agent disappeared. Even those she'd once looked down on in the industry now mocked her, trampled her, and rubbed salt in her wounds.Bitterness consumed her. Under the instigation of a mysterious figure, she became fixated on getting revenge on Stellar.But time and again, sh

    Soon, the day of the launch arrived—clear skies and perfect weather.Stellar and Stephen arrived early at the venue.The entire area was already packed with a massive crowd, both from within and outside the industry. The noise of excited chatter practically filled the entire hall.Even Stellar was taken aback by the sheer enthusiasm.Just then, Stephen leaned close and teased, “Miss Rivers is quite the star today. So many people here just for you—I’m starting to get jealous.”“Are you sure they’re not here for you?” Stellar raised an eyebrow. “I saw plenty of young women in the crowd. Didn’t any of them catch your eye, Mr. Ward?”“Oh, absolutely,” Stephen replied without hesitation.Under her sharp, clear gaze, his eyes crinkled with a smile, his voice gentle and warm. “The one in front of me is the one who caught my heart.”A ripple stirred in Stellar’s chest.“Sweet talker.”She said it with a scoff, but the smile in her eyes gave her away. Their hands found each other naturally, f
