A sudden rush of wind came from behind."Watch out!"Suzy noticed the attack, but it was too late to stop it.Just as the wine bottle was about to crash down, a hand shot out, grabbing it midair.Stellar had already sensed the attack. With her current reflexes, dodging would have been easy. What she hadn’t expected was someone stepping in to help.She turned around, eyes widening slightly in surprise to see Jonathan."Jonathan, what the hell are you doing?!"Pauline stared at her brother in shock, unable to believe what she was seeing."Calm down, Pauline," Jonathan said firmly, his gaze heavy as he tried to soothe her. Then, he turned to Stellar, his expression strangely conflicted."Stellar… are you okay?"His voice carried a hint of concern, but she wasn’t fooled.Jonathan had never shown her an ounce of kindness before. Every time they crossed paths, his attitude had been cold and dismissive.And now he was suddenly worried about her?Sure enough, before she could respond, he

Suzy caught up with Stellar, glancing at the tall man beside her before lowering her voice. "So… this Mr. Rivers is really your uncle?"He was undeniably handsome, young even, but his aura was commanding, exuding an authority that couldn’t be ignored.One look, and it was obvious that this was a man of power.And he definitely wasn’t the type who’d dare pretend to be the head of the Rivers family."As real as it gets," Stellar said, a hint of pride in her voice. Then, as if remembering something, she turned to Suzy apologetically. "I wasn’t trying to keep it from you, I just hadn’t officially returned to the Rivers family yet. I planned to tell you once I did."Suzy waved off her concern without a second thought. With a sudden clap of her hands, she grinned."Are you kidding? With a family like this, you should’ve brought them out sooner! Watching those idiots eat their words would’ve been so satisfying."Stellar was speechless.Before she could say anything, Claude nodded in agreem

"This is the collaboration project between Riverside Corporation and Brighton Group. I’ve successfully secured the deal. “You can take a closer look at the investment returns. As for the follow-up work, I’ll leave it to you! I need to focus on my research for now.""Good job, Stellar. You’re truly capable."Claude grew increasingly convinced that his niece was an all-around genius.Honestly, no man in this world was worthy of her!With the task off her hands, Stellar felt relieved and went back to her room to continue studying.…The next day.At the Harlow and Moore families' engagement banquet, the scene of Yvonne being taken away by the police had already caused an uproar across the city.After all, so many reporters had been present.The Harlow family tried to suppress the news, but there was no way to stop it from spreading.As soon as they returned, numerous media outlets published articles, reporting on how Yvonne orchestrated Stellar’s kidnapping.Word spread like wildfire.Th

Stellar frowned slightly. What was he doing here?Not far away, Percy had already spotted her. Holding a bouquet of bright red roses, he strode toward her with purpose."Stellar, these are for you. I sincerely apologize for what happened yesterday."His tone was gentle, as if he were making some grand romantic gesture."I also have something important to tell you. I’ve broken off my engagement with the Harlow family. “There’s nothing standing between us anymore. We can start over. This time, I promise I’ll treat you right.""So, let’s put the past behind us, okay?"Stellar stared at the man in front of her, listening to his self-serving speech, and felt nothing but disgust."And why would I want to be with you?""Stellar, stop being stubborn," Percy sighed, as if speaking to a child throwing a tantrum."I know why you broke up with me back then. But I’ve thought it through. What happened to you wasn’t your fault. You didn’t choose it. “I don’t mind that you’re tainted, so there’s n

Stephen’s face darkened instantly.So, his grandfather had faked an illness just to drag him back?"I’m not agreeing to this. I want to call off the engagement.""What did you just say?!"The old man shot upright in bed, his anger flaring."I’m on my deathbed, and you won’t even grant me this one request? You’re absolutely heartless!"Stephen let out a cold laugh. "From where I’m standing, you look perfectly fine—healthy enough to live another few decades."Marcus was speechless.Realizing that his sudden outburst had given him away, the old man scrambled to recover."I—I was just experiencing a burst of last-moment vitality!"But Stephen’s expression had already turned to stone. He had no patience for this nonsense."Grandfather, don’t ever joke about something like this again. I’ve already made myself clear that I will never marry the Rivers family's heiress, and I won’t be changing my mind."His tone left no room for negotiation.After all, the woman he liked wasn’t some high-socie
