Just before they left, Autumn clutched her notebook tightly, her gaze fixed on the chest of gleaming gold and diamonds, her eyes full of reluctance.Stephen noticed and suddenly suggested, “To avoid any mishaps along the way, I think we should just bring two chests back for now. “Since you’re the host here, you should have the honor of choosing.”“Really?” Autumn lit up with surprise and pointed casually. “Then these two. I have a feeling they might hold some important clues.”“You're probably right,” Stephen agreed with a nod. He walked over and picked up the chest filled with gold and diamonds, carrying it to the car.Despite the weight, his expression didn’t change. Only the flexing of his arm muscles and the veins popping under the skin hinted at the effort he was exerting.His taut back radiated a rugged, primal strength.Stellar couldn’t help staring.“Oh my,” came her mother’s teasing voice from beside her. “Looks like my future son-in-law is quite something—not only good-l

Alex’s demeanor was calm and respectful, with not a trace of offense in his tone.It was hard to turn down a smiling face, so Autumn had no choice but to take the seat across from him.“I came today to discuss a potential collaboration…” He spoke steadily, laying out the details of the proposal. Everything he said seemed beneficial to her and her team.Autumn flipped through the proposal in her hands but couldn’t find anything questionable.“I know what happened before might’ve left a bad impression, but I hope you’ll believe in my sincerity this time. “If we go ahead with this deal, profit split is thirty-seventy. I take thirty, you take seventy.”It was an offer hard to resist.Autumn hadn’t been back in the country long. If she wanted to secure her footing quickly, this was undeniably a golden opportunity.“Why me?” she asked, raising her eyes in confusion.“Don’t get me wrong, I’m not trying to use this to get anything from you. It’s purely because I trust your abilities. “I t

The next day, Stellar was in the lab meeting with a new investor. The discussion had gone smoothly, and with the contract nearly finalized, she invited Autumn to join them.After all, her mother was now a major shareholder in the lab, she had every right to be involved in the decision.But the moment Autumn stepped into the meeting room, the investor’s expression shifted drastically. Suddenly, he said, “I just remembered there are a few contract details that need revising. Let’s hold off on signing for today.”The change was abrupt.Autumn didn’t even have time to process it.“Mr. Seaton, is there something troubling you?” Stellar immediately asked. “Please feel free to speak candidly.”The investor looked conflicted, but in the end, out of respect for Stellar’s ability, he replied slowly, “Miss Rivers, I truly believe in your talent and vision. “But investment decisions have to be made carefully… especially when one of your partners appears… less reliable.”The implication was pai

By noon that day, a breaking headline began dominating every major online platform: “Rural Boy Leeches Off His Entire Family and Steals Another’s University Admission to Study Abroad.”Media outlets and investigative reporters quickly picked up the story.Forty years ago, a boy named "A" was born into a rural family with three older sisters. His parents poured every last bit of their resources into his education. Eventually, in his final year of high school, he was accepted into a prestigious domestic university and even received the opportunity to study abroad.The news caused a stir throughout the remote town—everyone celebrated him as the pride of their community, the only one to ever make it into a top-tier university.Years later, "A" returned from overseas polished and credentialed, his life seemingly a shining success. His parents, once humble farmers, now wore gold and silver, having moved out of the countryside into a comfortable city life.But today, after a deep investigat

The overseas institution where Autumn had officially studied also released several of her academic papers, each signed under her name, serving as solid proof of her true expertise.With that, her reputation was fully restored, while Alex’s name was dragged through the mud with no hope of redemption.“She’s a powerful, accomplished woman, and yet she was slandered like that. Thank goodness justice prevailed. Miss Lane is incredible. She’s honestly my role model.”“Decades of dedication to science and research. She’s absolutely extraordinary.”“I have so much respect for her!”Praise flooded in from across the internet.That evening, the Rivers family gathered together, watching the news broadcasts that lauded Autumn’s achievements and character. Their faces lit up with pride and relief.“Our Autumn has always been the best. No matter where she is, she shines.”“If she’d stayed in the country back then, I would’ve recognized her in an instant.”“Well, it’s not too late now. She’s back w
