Lahat ng Kabanata ng As the Fake Heiress Rose to Power, the CEO Falls Apart: Kabanata 381 - Kabanata 390

If people were only criticizing her poor writing, Stellar wouldn’t have taken it to heart. After all, a thousand readers have a thousand interpretations of Hamlet. She couldn’t expect everyone to like her work.But the comments below were crossing the line."Isn’t this author the one all over the internet lately—Stellar Rivers? They say she’s an aerospace researcher, a painter, and a writer. “What now? Does she think she’s some kind of god who can split into multiple versions of herself and never get tired?""I’m guessing the author has already been swapped out. No wonder the quality’s gone downhill. Feels like she’s just playing the readers for fools.""I heard Stellar Rivers comes from some outrageous background—fake heiress in a rich family, raised in someone else’s place while the real daughter got dumped. “If that’s true, it says a lot about what kind of people her parents were. No way someone like her turned out any better.""I actually feel sorry for her adoptive family. The

"That's right!" The receptionist’s eyes lit up with admiration at the mention of her boss. "He’s incredible. About six months ago, he took on a high-profile case and made a name for himself overnight. “Since then, more and more clients have been coming to him. Not long after, he partnered with another top attorney and started this firm. “He has definitely become a major player in the field."Stellar was caught off guard—but deep down, not all that surprised.When someone had real talent, they’d shine no matter where they were.They were soon led into the conference room. When they knocked and entered, Xavier was already there, dressed sharply and wearing a warm smile as he greeted them.But the moment he saw Stephen beside her, the smile on his face subtly faltered."This is my friend Stephen Ward. He came along to go over the case with me," Stellar introduced.“I know. Mr. Ward. It’s a pleasure. I’ve heard a lot about you,” Xavier said politely, extending his hand.Stephen shook it

Thanks to Larry’s heads-up, Stellar found the burner account and, sure enough, the screen was filled with venomous posts. The comment section was swarming with replies piling on, criticizing her from every possible angle.It was hard to tell whether they were paid trolls or just people riding the wave of attention.The more she scrolled, the colder her expression became.She could guess why this was happening.It was because she hadn’t responded yesterday.They probably assumed she was backing down. So now, they were doubling down, even bolder than before.From the tone and habits in the posts, she was almost certain it was Eddie behind it.“I’ll take care of it, Larry. Don’t worry,” she assured her editor.After hanging up, Stellar immediately called Julian.“Uncle Julian, do you know any media firms in the industry that handle troll management? I need your help with something.”After hearing her explanation, Julian agreed right away and quickly made the arrangements.Half an hour la

When she saw the caller ID, Tori felt like she’d just grabbed onto the last lifeline she had. “Hello…?”“I’ve heard about your situation,” said the voice on the other end. It was heavily disguised through a voice changer, making it impossible to tell if it belonged to a man or a woman. “If you don’t want everything to fall apart, I might have a solution.”“What is it? Please… you have to help me,” Tori responded quickly.It was this mysterious person who had advised her from the start, coaxing her step by step into targeting Suzy and Stellar. Without them, she never would’ve come this far.She still had no idea who the person was, but she knew they were powerful.Even after breaking up with Zayden, she managed to remain untouchable in the industry, all thanks to this person pulling strings behind the scenes. She’d long suspected they were someone with a grudge against Suzy or Stellar—maybe both.But as the saying goes, “The enemy of my enemy is my friend.”And right now, they were t

At that moment, Eddie stared at Tori—her face all innocent, but a flicker of triumph flashed in her eyes.Surrounded by the reporters' jeers and public outrage, rage surged in him like a tidal wave.His last shred of control snapped.In the blink of an eye, he pulled a box cutter from his coat pocket and drove it hard toward Tori’s chest.“Die!”Her eyes flew wide, that faint smirk still frozen on her face as pain overtook her. She clutched her chest and crumpled to the ground.For a second, the crowd stood frozen in disbelief.Then chaos exploded.“Someone call security!” “He stabbed her! He actually stabbed her!”Shrieks tore through the air, sharp enough to split the sky.People scattered in every direction.As the crowd parted, Stellar’s figure came into view.Eddie, now completely unhinged, turned on her—blade dripping red, madness in his eyes.“This is all your fault!”Stellar reacted in a flash. She had some basic self-defense training, but she’d never faced a live blade befo
