Semua Bab As the Fake Heiress Rose to Power, the CEO Falls Apart: Bab 211 - Bab 220

Joy’s expression remained serious. "Got it. I’ll make the necessary arrangements right away." She then turned to the interns behind her. "From here on, Mr. Smith will guide you through the rest of the base." With that, she was about to leave. "Wait…" Stellar stepped forward urgently. "Ms. Shaw, please let us come along. We might be able to help." An accident during a test flight was a major issue. And as a future member of the engineering team, she had every reason to be involved. Joy furrowed her brows slightly before nodding. "Alright, you and three other interns, follow me." Stellar and the others quickly joined the group. The team went through an extensive investigation—analyzing the black box, running accident simulations, and reviewing flight data. But no clear issue surfaced. Frustration settled over the room. The A16 model was a brand-new aircraft, and no one had expected such a critical failure on its very first test flight. If they couldn’t pinpoint the r

Joy’s expression flickered for a moment before she finally spoke with composure. "My apologies. I made an error in judgment by assuming it was an engine failure from the start, which nearly led to an incorrect conclusion." She admitted her mistake openly and without hesitation. No one criticized her for it. In fact, their admiration for her only grew. Before long, the investigation report was submitted. But just as the tension had eased, another piece of shocking news arrived— "This is bad! The commercial airline under the research institute has another aircraft, AT1083, with the same issue. It took off not long ago! Unlike the A16, this isn’t a test flight—it’s already in service!"The air traffic control tower just reported that the plane has already flown over a thousand kilometers. “Its landing gear won’t deploy, and other systems are malfunctioning. It’s currently circling above the airport, and if this continues, it could face the same fate—another crash!"The highe

As Stellar and Stephen stepped out, they happened to catch the last part of the conversation. Stellar raised an eyebrow slightly, sensing an inexplicable hostility from Joy. But that was strange—they had only just met, hadn’t they? Stephen, however, didn’t hesitate to correct her. “Ms. Shaw, you got one thing wrong. It wasn’t me. It was Stellar who directed the landing. “She handled the controls with precision, ensuring the aircraft landed safely. She’s the real hero of this operation.” Joy paused for two seconds before quickly recovering, her tone easygoing. “My bad, Stephen. I can be pretty blunt sometimes—not as sensitive as most women. Maybe I didn’t phrase it well just now. “What I meant was, you two worked flawlessly together to resolve this crisis. You both deserve recognition for your efforts. “I’ll be reporting this to the higher-ups, and they’ll be awarding you both with honors.” Stellar finally spoke. “I only did what I could. I don’t need any awards.” “No,

The call was from Dawn, her voice laced with cautious humility. "Percy, I just had a prenatal checkup at the hospital. The doctor said my health is a bit weak… Can you transfer me some money for nutrition expenses?" Percy didn’t hesitate. "Alright, how much do you need?" Since she was carrying his child—and the situation benefited his return to the Moore family—he naturally intended to take responsibility. "Can you send me forty thousand? I’ve also run into some other issues… Don’t worry, consider it a loan. I’ll pay you back once I’ve sorted things out." Percy pressed his lips together. He wasn’t entirely pleased with her sudden high demand, but in the end, he softened. "There’s no need to talk about paying me back. I’ll send it right now." After hanging up, he transferred the money. On the other end, Dawn received the funds without a flicker of emotion. She immediately wired the amount into another account. "There, are you satisfied now?" She raised her gaze cold

With a sharp slam, Stephen set his glass down on the table, his gaze turning icy as he shot a look at Shane. "Is that funny to you?""Ahem..."Shane cleared his throat, realizing that pushing any further would only get him into trouble. He quickly straightened his expression."Alright, alright, let’s get serious. I know you’re frustrated, but listen, I've got to say, I think you’ve always liked Stellar. That little girl from the past? That was just an obsession, maybe even a sense of duty."Don't confuse the two, or you’ll regret it someday.""I know."Stephen’s voice was steady, sharper than Shane expected. "That’s not the problem. I just don’t know how to pursue her without being too abrupt. If I don’t act soon, I’m afraid she’ll slip further away from me."From the way Stellar treated him today, he could feel the distance growing between them, and that alone sent a wave of unease through him."Hah! So even the great Mr. Ward can struggle when chasing a girl," Shane teased, barely ho
