As the Fake Heiress Rose to Power, the CEO Falls Apart のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 611 - チャプター 620

In that moment, everything clicked into place.It became clear that all the earlier stalling tactics had been deliberate. Jasmine was likely acquainted with Victor and Aiden and clearly favored them.No wonder Victor had sounded so confident when he first told Suzy about the project."So, what you're saying is that without even glancing at my proposal, you’ve already decided I’m not as qualified as Aiden. So, I’m not even worthy of discussing this with you?" Suzy asked with a cold smile.Jasmine scoffed. "I’d rather not say it so harshly, but let’s be honest, you're just a privileged girl riding on your family name. Opportunities should go to those with real capability. In my eyes, you’re not it.""No room for reconsideration?" Suzy asked once more."None whatsoever. Your company is the one seeking our cooperation. Whether you're the CEO’s daughter or not, you're still the one who has to play by my rules." Jasmine’s tone dripped with arrogance.But Suzy suddenly gave a low chuckle, th

"Miss Rivers, you really won’t do me a small favor and stay a while?" He winked at Stellar playfully, like he was trying to be charming."You…" Stellar’s eyes widened in disbelief. "Zay? What are you doing here… wait, are you the CEO of Robinson Group?"The man in front of her was none other than Zayden, someone she hadn’t seen in ages.But wasn’t he supposed to be the second heir of the Moore family?"Stellar, it’s been way too long." Zayden stepped forward and wrapped her in a hug, nuzzling his head against her shoulder like an overgrown puppy. "I’ve missed you so much!"Suzy stood off to the side, absolutely stunned. She was seriously tempted to take out her phone and record the moment to send to Stephen.But before she could act on the impulse, Stellar had already shoved him off and shot him a sharp glare."You little punk, are you hitting on your senior now?""I wasn’t!" Zayden blinked innocently."Really? Then what the hell did you mean by asking me to stay?" Stellar cracked

"What a shame. Such a promising deal, wasted just like that. That opportunity should’ve gone to someone with real experience, like Mr. Zane."As voices around the room praised him, Aiden’s grin grew broader with every passing second.He stepped forward, riding high on his moment of glory, and held out his hand toward Suzy."Let’s not drag this out, Miss Walsh. Hand over the proposal. I’ll take it from here and re-negotiate with Miss Wheeler. There might still be a chance to salvage things."He hadn’t even prepared a plan of his own. He was just ready to hijack Suzy’s work and claim it as his own.Her expression turned to ice."You're really pushing your luck, aren't you?""What did you say?" Aiden tilted his head, pretending not to hear as he leaned in.The next second, Suzy raised her hand and slapped him hard across the face.The sound cracked through the room like a whip. Aiden stumbled back, completely caught off guard, a vivid red handprint blooming across his cheek.Silence fel

He had no choice now.He would have to lay low and bide his time because if he made one more wrong move, he wouldn’t even be in her league.That evening, back at home, Stellar heard all about Suzy’s fiery display at the company. Her eyes curved with delight as she grinned."That’s amazing, Suzy. At this rate, even if I’m not around, you’ve got the whole company handled. No reason to be afraid of any of them anymore.""Wait, are you leaving?" Suzy asked, a bit reluctant to hear it.Stellar raised an eyebrow and teased, "Aw, you’ll miss me? Want me to stay longer and kick my uncle out instead?"Suzy turned away with a huff of mock arrogance."He’s got the thickest skin alive. He got injured and suddenly he’s clinging to me like he’s never letting go."Stellar clicked her tongue and gave her a knowing look. Watching the two grow closer by the day, she genuinely felt happy for them."Relax, I’m not leaving just yet."Suzy perked up."So… are you really going out with him tomorrow? Does y

Stellar’s chest tightened, a sudden weight pressing down as a quiet realization crept into her mind."Do you like them?" Zayden’s voice was low, almost hoarse, laced with an edge of nerves he couldn’t quite hide.And in that moment, Stellar saw it clearly. His feelings for her ran far deeper than she’d ever imagined."These are my feelings," he said, eyes steady and sincere. "I hope you’ll accept them."She froze, caught completely off guard.How was she supposed to respond to that?Maybe she was reading too much into it. Maybe it wasn’t a confession.But what if it was?If she accepted, what would Zayden think? What might it imply?And if she rejected him outright… it would be like stomping on something deeply personal and sacred.She stood there, torn."They’re… beautifully done," she finally said, her voice soft.Just then, a crisp voice cut through the stillness behind them."I agree. They’re impressive pieces," came Stephen’s calm, biting tone as he walked in slowly. "And if you
