Semua Bab As the Fake Heiress Rose to Power, the CEO Falls Apart: Bab 691 - Bab 700

Today, she dressed with a sharp, professional flair, wearing a tailored skirt suit paired with a silk blouse and five-centimeter heels.She had also used light disguise makeup to conceal her defining features, replacing her usual youthful charm with a more sultry allure.Her softly curled long hair added a touch of elegance and sophistication.Even if Aurevis’s CEO saw her, he wouldn’t recognize her as Stellar, nor would he ever connect her to her parents.They met shortly after in a private room at the hotel as scheduled.As soon as they entered, they spotted a middle-aged man in his forties or fifties. He was well-groomed, though the shrewd calculation in his eyes revealed a keen and assessing mind.Still, the moment he laid eyes on Stellar, a flicker of astonishment passed through his gaze. A faint, distinctive fragrance lingered near his nose.He quickly adjusted his expression and greeted them with a practiced smile.“Mr. Ward, I’ve heard a great deal about you. I didn’t expect

"Looks like someone nearby deliberately cut the line. Go check what's going on."The guards outside suddenly scrambled in confusion, footsteps quickly fading into the distance.Stellar immediately realized this had to be Stephen’s people at work.But before she could ask, he had already taken her hand and led her out of the car. The two of them moved cautiously, avoiding detection by the security patrols, and eventually slipped into the building undetected.Following the information they had obtained from Adrian, they took the elevator straight to the top floor.The archive room was tucked away in the farthest corner.They exchanged a glance, then nodded.Stellar stepped forward and pulled out the key, sliding it into the lock.With two twists, there was a click—the door unlocked.She lit up, about to push the door open, when Stephen pulled her behind him and stepped in first.No alarms went off, and with the surveillance system disabled, the place was silent.Only then did he let Ste

"That’s truly a pity. Next time we get the chance, we must work together properly!"Though Adrian sounded regretful, he didn’t press the issue."Business aside, we’re still friends. Mr. Ward, Miss Anna, how about I show you around this afternoon?" he offered with a smile."No need. I’ve booked a two o’clock flight, and we still have other matters to handle. I’ll have to pass on your kind invitation this time. “But if you ever visit back home, I’ll be sure to host you personally," Stephen replied, delivering the lines he had prepared in advance.At the mention of visiting their country, something flickered in Adrian’s eyes—an evasive hesitation, even a hint of resistance. "Let’s leave that for another time.""Of course. Until next time then." Stephen’s smile held a subtle edge.They parted on "friendly" terms. But as he watched them walk away, the smile on Adrian’s face faded, replaced by a dark, brooding shadow.…Meanwhile, Stellar boarded a private jet home with Stephen.This tri

"Alright."Ending the call, Stellar walked back over to Percy, pulling out her phone. "Send me May Sung’s personal details, photos, and the projects she was responsible for immediately."Percy nodded without delay and made a call to pass down the instructions.Ten minutes later, he forwarded the information to Stellar. She immediately sent it on to Joe."Let’s check the surveillance room. See if anything else was left behind..."With that, the group headed toward the security control center.They combed through the footage several times.The more Stellar watched, the more intrigued she became.May had always come across as plain—quiet, unremarkable. But what the footage revealed was something entirely different.Her movements were quick and precise, with the fluidity of someone professionally trained. Every action was deliberate.Even when stealing the research materials, she moved without making a sound.This wasn’t the behavior of an average assistant."Mr. Moore, I’m genuinely c

All that effort was gone. May had gone through so much to get her hands on this technology, so close to success, only to lose everything in the final moment.But the truth was, Stellar had never intended to recover the data.Her real goal from the start had been to destroy it.After all, the technology was stored in her mind. As long as she lived, it could be recreated at any time.May’s fury quickly gave way to cold composure.She suddenly let out a low, mocking laugh. “And you think you’ll live long enough to recreate it?”A chill crept through Stellar’s spine. Her worst fear was confirmed. “You’re going to kill me? If you’re just a corporate spy, why go this far? Who sent you? What did they offer you?”“You don’t need to know that.” May sneered. “You’re just unlucky. Take your questions to the grave.”She tightened her grip on the gun, finger slowly squeezing the trigger.At such close range, there was no room to dodge.Heart pounding, cold sweat beading on her forehead, Stellar
