    The crystal chandeliers in the grand ballroom of Kingsley Group shimmered brilliantly, casting dazzling reflections into every corner of the room. Guests dressed in glamorous attire gathered elegantly, enjoying the 75th anniversary celebration of the company. But tonight, it was not merely the celebration that captured everyone’s attention—the rumor about the official announcement of the heir to Kingsley Group had become the talk of the evening. Especially since the successor had always been kept a secret due to his mysterious existence; not even a single media outlet knew where the elusive heir had been all this time.Amid the clinking of wine glasses and the smooth melodies of jazz music, the emcee’s voice echoed through the ballroom, breaking the silence.“Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the heir of Kingsley Group, Maximilian Kingsley!”The moment his name was announced, soft cheers erupted from the guests, while media cameras immediately turned toward the stage.

  • The Star's Secret Husband   134. Stay by My Side

    ***The sound of shattering objects echoed throughout Renata’s room. A vase, a small mirror, even a photo frame—everything was thrown carelessly, breaking into pieces scattered across the floor. Renata’s face was flushed with rage, her breathing heavy, her eyes burning with hatred. The failure of her plan to kidnap Anastasia had truly driven her into a frenzy.“They’re useless!” Renata screamed, kicking the shards of glass across the floor. “Damn it! How dare those lowlifes refuse my money?” Her voice rang with fury that refused to subside.In the midst of her anger, she yanked open the drawer of her vanity and pulled out a small box, retrieving a tiny bottle filled with white pills. Renata stared at it with unwavering determination.“If I can’t kidnap her, then I’ll use another way,” she muttered with a faint smirk. “I’ll sleep with Max… and with this,” she lifted the pills, “I’ll become his wife.”Before Renata could continue her monologue, her bedroom door suddenly opened. Robert,

    ***With trembling hands, Anastasia clutched the document Maximilian had given her. Her heart felt heavy with anger and pain. Her eyes blurred and tears slowly flowed, unable to be held back any longer."My own grandfather and grandmother... Did they cause the accident? Why were they so cruel?" she sobbed, her voice breaking mid-sentence. "No wonder... When I came to the Noire family, they all hated me. Especially Grandpa and Grandma. From the start, they ignored my presence. I was always ostracized.”Maximilian could only sigh deeply, his gaze filled with concern. “Ana, all of this is because of your father. He decided to marry Aria on the condition that you be accepted into the Noire family," he replied softly.Anastasia furrowed her brow as if unable to believe what she was hearing. “Papa? Why did he want me to join the Noire family so badly? Didn't he always show that he hated me? He was always cold and indifferent. Even in his eyes, there was hatred when he looked at me..." she s

Selene finally shouted. "Our beloved daughter-in-law is being disrespected like this! Disgusting!" Mama must act immediately and tell everyone that our daughter-in-law is Anastasia Kingsley. To be precise, Anastasia Kingsley!" she growled determinedly.Shayne smiled slightly, amused by this rare glimpse of his wife’s other side. "Be patient, dear. Papa is sure that Max, our son, won't just stand by, especially regarding his wife's issue."Selene shook her head firmly, her gaze sharp. "No! Mama will scold him for failing to protect her beloved daughter-in-law. She doesn't want to see Anastasia hurt or humiliated like this. No matter what happens, Ana must be protected! Hurting her is the
