บททั้งหมดของ As the Fake Heiress Rose to Power, the CEO Falls Apart: บทที่ 581 - บทที่ 590

By the time they arrived at the restaurant, the blind date still hadn’t shown up.They ordered two drinks while waiting.“What’s the name of this Page family heir you're meeting? Have you at least seen his photo? How could he make a woman wait for him?” Stellar sounded unimpressed.“His name’s Thomas Page,” Suzy replied, pulling out her phone and showing her the photo. “Apparently he’s six feet tall.”Stellar glanced at the screen. He wasn’t bad-looking—clean-cut in a tailored suit, clearly trying to project that upper-class charm.But judging by the photo, he probably wasn’t six feet tall. Most men who claimed that were usually rounding up—he looked more like five-nine.Decent enough, but compared to her two uncles, he didn’t stand a chance.Just as she was about to make another comment, the restaurant door swung open, and a figure strode toward them.“Well now! Two gorgeous ladies here to meet me? What is this? A two-for-one deal?”A slick, arrogant voice drawled from above.Both

The two chatted as they strolled from store to store, buying clothes, shoes, stopping by a cosmetics boutique, then a jewelry shop.After hours on their feet, their legs aching, they finally settled into a quiet lounge bar to unwind, sipping drinks and listening to live music.Midway through, Suzy got up to use the restroom. On her way out, her phone buzzed—it was a call from a business partner she’d been negotiating with for weeks, one who’d always been reluctant to commit.She picked up right away. “Mr. Cook…”The voice on the other end didn’t waste time. “Miss Walsh, we’ve reconsidered the proposal you sent over. "If you're available, I’m at the Daytime Grand Hotel now and have thirty minutes before I leave for a business trip. If you can come by, we can finalize the contract today.”Excitement sparked in Suzy’s chest. “Absolutely! I’ll be there shortly. Thank you!”She hung up and returned to their booth, grinning as she filled Stellar in.“You want me to come with?” Stellar aske

She hadn’t told Julian anything about what was going on.So, how did he show up, and at the perfect time no less?“There’s no time for that. Where’s Suzy?” Julian’s expression was taut with concern.“Right…” Stellar snapped out of it and quickly filled him in on what had happened. Julian’s face darkened, and without wasting a second, he told her to get in the car. The two of them headed straight to the nearest precinct.On the way, Julian made a call. Not long after they arrived, the police chief himself came out to meet them and escorted them personally to retrieve surveillance footage from the area around the lounge bar.Soon, they spotted footage of Suzy driving off alone. Her car eventually stopped at the Daytime Grand Hotel, where she got out and entered and never seen leaving again.Without delay, they drove straight there, questioned the front desk, and rushed to the listed room. At the door of the private suite, they forced it open.What they saw inside nearly stopped thei

After Suzy obediently finished the honey water, Stellar finally exhaled a little.The fact that she could drink and take something in was a start.“Are you hungry? Tell me whatever you want to eat, I’ll cook it for you,” she asked softly.But Suzy shook her head, clearly with no appetite.Seeing her looking so drained and lifeless, Stellar's heart clenched tighter. Overwhelmed by guilt, she pulled her into a hug.“I’m so sorry, Suzy. This is all my fault. I should’ve been there. I should’ve gone with you. I let this happen to you. It’s on me.”If only she had followed and asked more questions. But there were no “ifs” that could undo what had already happened.She didn’t dare press Suzy for details. That would only bring more pain. So, she simply held her close, her hand gently patting her back, trying to soothe without words.“I swear I’ll make them pay. I’ll make every single one of them regret touching you.” Her eyes were rimmed red, her voice sharp with fury.But just as the wor

“What did you just say?!”Stellar almost laughed out of sheer disbelief.So, after all her encouragement, telling him to go after love bravely, the moment he found out Suzy was going on a blind date, he gave up and went off to get drunk?No wonder he never replied afterward. It hadn’t even crossed his mind to chase after her or try to stop her.Compared to his cowardice and retreat, Julian was on a whole different level.He flew over time and again, growing more determined each time. Just hearing Suzy might’ve been hurt had him aching with concern, even promising to stay by her side for life.At that moment, the difference in how the two men handled love couldn’t have been clearer in her mind.“Stellar, I actually…”Edwin tried to explain, but Stellar cut him off. “Enough. There’s nothing more to say. Since you’ve already made your decision, then please, don’t let things stay messy between you and Suzy. End it cleanly.”She took a deep breath, voice firm. “You’re my family, and she’s
