Semua Bab As the Fake Heiress Rose to Power, the CEO Falls Apart: Bab 101 - Bab 110

The two reporters who just spoken were startled when the situation suddenly turned against them. They exchanged glances and attempted to slip away in the chaos.However, with just a single look from Stephen, the security guards swiftly restrained them.His voice was cold as he said, "As journalists, you have no professionalism and are unqualified for this job."Leaving those words behind, he turned and walked away, leaving his assistant to handle the matter.When he came out, he saw Stellar standing by the door.Her slender figure exuded a quiet resilience that unexpectedly tugged at his heartstrings.He quickly approached her. "Let's go home."Seeing that it was him, Stellar let out a small breath of relief and nodded.The ride back was silent. Stephen, being considerate, didn’t say much either.Even though she gathered the courage to face her past shadows, the whole situation had still left Stellar unsettled.After getting out of the car, she absentmindedly bid Stephen goodbye.Bac

Stellar had no idea what Lilian was about to say. Her fingers curled slightly at her sides.Then, in the next second, Lilian threw her arms around her."Stellar, you’ve been through so much… it must have been so hard for you.""I saw the news yesterday. I think you're incredibly brave. Escaping from human traffickers is not something just anyone can do."Stellar froze, momentarily caught off guard.Was Lilian worried about her?A strange warmth welled up in her chest, and her eyes stung for a moment."I'm fine… it’s all in the past now."Lilian straightened, studying her face carefully. Only after confirming she wasn’t just putting on a strong front did she finally breathe a sigh of relief.She read enough horror stories about women being trafficked to remote towns—places so isolated that even climbing a mountain would take hours.To escape from something like that, it took more than just intelligence and quick thinking. It required resilience, an unshakable will to survive.Even Na

Stellar was momentarily surprised to see Stephen, but she quickly recovered, greeting him with a bright smile."What a coincidence, Senior! You got an invitation too?""Mm. Percy invited Brighton Group."Stephen offered a simple explanation.Stellar nodded in understanding.As the CEO of Brighton Group, it made sense that he’d be invited.However, what she didn’t know was that the invitation had originally been sent to Shane. After all, Brighton’s elusive CEO rarely made public appearances, so no one had expected him to attend.Stephen personally took the invitation because…"Ahem—"Suzy arched a brow at the scene unfolding before her, then spoke up at just the right moment."I’m heading over to the dining area for some food. You two take your time chatting."And with that, she slipped away.Stellar saw right through her little ploy but could only shake her head helplessly. With no other choice, she turned back to Stephen."So, Senior, how’s the development going for the land you acq

She deliberately raised her voice, ensuring that everyone in the room heard her loud and clear.For a brief moment, silence fell over the crowd, only to be shattered by a sudden burst of murmurs.Though many found it hard to believe, those who had heard whispers of this matter in the past began exchanging hushed conversations.The members of the Harlow and Moore families stood on the sidelines, watching coldly.Meanwhile, the journalists who were specially invited for the engagement banquet lit up with excitement, their cameras immediately zooming in on the scene.If the last interview had merely been a minor revelation, today’s engagement banquet was a spectacle with the eyes of high society fixed on it.Everyone present was a prominent figure in their circles.Yvonne chose this occasion to expose the matter, ensuring that the entire room would learn the truth—that Stellar was nothing but filthy and disgraceful.She wanted to make sure that no influential man would ever be bewitched b

As Yvonne was led away, Stephen finally turned to Stellar."You okay?"Snapping out of her thoughts, Stellar nodded. Just as she was about to respond, Stephen’s phone rang. Whatever was said on the other end made his expression turn serious.Stellar immediately noticed the shift and spoke up. "I can handle the rest. Go take care of your business."He had already done more than enough by bringing out the evidence. Since something urgent had come up, she wouldn’t hold him back.Stephen seemed like he wanted to say something, but after glancing at his phone, he simply gave her a look. "Call me if anything happens. I’ll have a few people stay behind to help you."With that, he turned and left in a hurry.Stellar pressed her lips together and took in the chaotic scene around her. Just as she was about to walk away, a sharp voice cut through the air."Stellar, are you happy now? Ruining Yvonne’s engagement, sending her to prison—was this your way of getting revenge on us?"Pauline stood
