Chapter 6

Author: Fierce Sleeping Dog
The day after I returned to Shine Corporation, Dad summoned me directly to the CEO's office. He said it was time for the heir to step into his role. I looked at the mountain of files and the packed schedule in front of me and felt completely overwhelmed.

"Dad, I just got back. I don't know the operations yet," I said.

"Then learn," he replied simply, pointing to the door. "You have a capable assistant. Ask her if you need anything."

The door opened, and a woman in a sharp professional suit stepped in. She had an air of quiet authority. Gold-rimmed glasses framed her sharp eyes, and her long hair was neatly tied back.

"Mr. York. I'm Larissa Hewitt, the Chief Executive Assistant assigned to you by the Chairman," she said. Her voice was calm and precise, just like her appearance. There was no extra emotion.

I nodded. "Hello, Ms. Hewitt."

From that day on, almost every day was spent under Larissa's guidance.

She was like a perfectly tuned machine. She anticipated problems before I e

    After that day of honesty, my relationship with Larissa grew naturally. It was not dramatic, just steady warmth and understanding that deepened over time. She could read every glance I gave, and I had grown accustomed to her quiet care. We worked together, ate together, and discussed the future.Six months later, I proposed. It was a simple moment in the office where we often stayed late. No flowers, no diamond ring, just my sincere heart. She looked at me, eyes shining with tears, and nodded.We scheduled our wedding for early autumn. The day was bright and sunny, with friends and family gathered. I stood at one end of the red carpet, watching Larissa walk toward me in her white gown, escorted by Dylan. Her smile radiated happiness, and she looked breathtaking. This time, I knew I had made the right choice. Just as the priest was about to announce the exchange of rings, chaos erupted.A disheveled woman in torn clothes broke past security and ran onto the stage. It was Stella. Sh

    "I didn't expect to see you here," I said to Larissa."I'm in charge of promoting this project, so I need to follow it all the way," she replied with a smile and handed me a bottle of water. "Looks like you drank quite a bit. Here, have some water.""Thanks," I said, taking it. We stood side by side by the lake."You did really well. This deal wouldn't have been possible without you," I said."You gave me the opportunity," she said softly, looking down.We were quiet for a moment. The air between us felt slightly charged."Oh," she said suddenly, as if she had remembered something. She reached into her bag and took out a small gift box. She handed it to me. "This is for you. Consider it congratulations for the successful deal."I opened the box and discovered a beautifully crafted pen, engraved with the initials C.Y."I designed it myself. I hope you like it," she said, scratching her head a little and looking shy.I held the pen in my hand. It felt cool, yet it carried a stra

    I attended the banquet as a representative of Shine Corporation. Amid the clinking of glasses, I noticed someone I did not expect.It was Stella. She had lost a lot of weight, and the innocent look she once had was gone. Her makeup was heavy and striking. The tight red dress she wore highlighted her curves, but it carried the faint scent of a life gone astray.She was linking arms with a stout middle-aged man, laughing with exaggerated charm. He was a well-known real estate tycoon in the city, named William Short, notorious for his womanizing ways.When she saw me, her body stiffened, and her smile froze. William followed her gaze, noticed me, and immediately forced a flattering grin."Well, well, if it isn't Mr. York. What an honor," he said.I nodded faintly in acknowledgment."Mr. York, let me introduce my new companion, Stella," William added, lightly patting Stella's hand with a lewd tone.Stella's face paled, but she did not dare to argue. I could only feel the irony. The

    That single sentence hit the banquet hall like a bomb."Son? Charles… is Benjamin's son?" Stella stared at me, then at Dad, as if trying to find some sign of deceit on my face."No… No way… This can't be! He told me he was an orphan! His parents died in a car accident when he was little!" she screamed, hysterical.I looked at her coldly and spoke for only the second time since all this began. "Yes, I said my parents died, because the day I chose to live on my own, the identity of the Shine Corporation heir was already dead to me," I said deliberately, word by word."I wanted someone who would love me for who I am, not for my family or money. I thought I had found that," I continued.My gaze swept across her pale, terrified face, full of disappointment and scorn. "Now I see… I was the one who was blind."Her knees gave out, and she collapsed to the floor, muttering, "The heir… You're the heir… How could this be…"She suddenly remembered something. She scrambled to my feet, clutch

    I followed Stella's gaze and saw her direct superior, the company's vice president, Lucas Moore. He was standing there, face pale, eyes wide with shock."Mr. Moore, you have to help me!" Stella stumbled toward him, clinging to him like a last lifeline. Lucas instinctively tried to step back, but she grabbed his arm tightly."Mr. Moore, this was all your idea! You told me to get rid of Charles, this useless man, and take money from him. You promised…" she said."Enough! Stella, have you lost your mind? You mismanaged your own private life, slandered your ex-boyfriend, and now you're trying to drag me into this?" Lucas yanked his arm free, panic flashing across his face before he forced a harsh tone.He turned to Owen and me, forcing a smile. "Mr. York, Mr. Reid, this is purely a personal issue with Stella. It has nothing to do with our company."No one in the room was fooled. Seeing this, everyone understood immediately."So, it was a setup between the two of them! How cruel," som
