At first, Sylvia seemed a little caught off guard by her daughter’s sudden affection.But the moment she heard the tremble in Suzy’s voice, she pulled back just enough to see her face, alarmed. "Sweetheart, what’s wrong? Did someone upset you? Tell me, did something happen?"She gently cupped Suzy’s cheeks, wiping the tears from the corners of her eyes, just like she used to when Suzy was little—dropping everything to comfort her at the first sign of tears.That memory made Suzy’s chest tighten. She held her mother’s hand and sat her down."Mom, I need to ask you something. Please just tell me the truth."Sylvia frowned, confused, her eyes flicking to Stellar for a beat. "What’s going on? What are you two trying to ask me?"Suzy hesitated, pressing her lips together as she tried to find the right words. When she finally spoke, her voice was low and careful. "Do you… do you have depression?"Sylvia froze.She opened her mouth to deny it, but before she could speak, Suzy pulled out the

She held him for a long while before finally letting go, only to notice the box in his arms.“What’s this?”“Something I saw while traveling. Just a small gift,” Stephen said casually, handing it over.It wasn’t until they got back to the car that Stellar opened it.Inside was a box of milk chocolates imported from Mayland.She’d mentioned her love for that flavor once during a random conversation. Yet he remembered.Even with how busy his trip must’ve been, he still thought of her and picked it up.She took one and popped it into her mouth. The silky texture and mellow sweetness melted on her tongue, spreading warmth straight to her heart.“How’s the taste?” he asked.A smile tugged at her lips. Without answering, she picked up another piece and held it out to him.“Try it yourself.”Stephen leaned in, taking the chocolate from her fingers with his mouth.As his tongue brushed the pad of her fingertip, a sudden jolt ran through her, like a spark firing down her spine.She flinched,

Sally and her parents looked increasingly unsettled as Stellar pressed on, her tone razor-sharp."Of course, you can keep denying it if you want. But the truth is, all those private messages and recordings between your daughter and her boyfriend? "They’re traceable. And since you came here to extort money first, once Dr. Long calls the police, your whole family can look forward to jail time."Her words hit like a hammer.The girl crumbled on the spot, dropping to the floor with a sob. "I… I didn’t want to do this either... it was his idea... he made me do it..."Her parents stood frozen, as if struck by lightning. When they snapped out of it, they turned on her in a fit of rage."You ungrateful brat! You lied to us, dragged us into this mess just for some boy? You were ready to ruin your parents over him?"Stellar stood off to the side, watching with a cold gaze, finding the whole scene equal parts ridiculous and ironic.Sure, the girl was at fault, but were her parents truly innocen

Just as Suzy was lost in thoughts of a hopeful future, a sudden bang jolted her back to reality.Something had slammed hard into the rear of the car.She slammed on the brakes instinctively.Sylvia was thrown forward with the impact, leaving her dizzy and disoriented.For a few moments, all Suzy could hear was her own heartbeat, then her panicked voice broke through. “Mom, are you okay? Are you hurt?”Sylvia held her head, her voice a little hoarse. “I’m fine... just a bit dizzy. What happened?”Seeing that her mother wasn’t seriously injured, Suzy finally breathed a sigh of relief.She turned back and looked at the vehicle that had crashed into them, then flung open the door and stormed out. She marched up to the driver’s side and knocked hard on the window. “Get out! You hit someone and think you can just sit there and play dead? Get out here!”The door creaked open slowly.A figure stepped out.The moment she saw his face, Suzy’s eyes widened in shock. “You?!”“Oh? Miss Walsh, it’s

In the crowd, Stellar’s eyes sharpened, her brows tightly furrowed.“You noticed it too?” Stephen’s low voice brushed against her ear, his breath warm and close enough to graze her earlobe.A shiver ran down her spine. She forced herself to stay composed and gave a subtle nod.On stage, Jack grew increasingly animated. Stellar took a deep breath, straightened her back, and broke through the noise with a clear voice.“Excuse me, may I interrupt for a moment?”The room fell silent. Jack’s speech came to an abrupt halt. “Miss, do you have a question?”“Mr. Greyson, you mentioned the system was ready to be launched. But based on the data you presented, there’s no way it can deliver the level of encryption you promised. "Once released, user privacy would be entirely exposed. With a flaw this serious unresolved, how can you even talk about profits?”Her words hit like a hammer.The room was still for a few seconds before erupting into murmurs. The investors began whispering among themse
