Stellar let out a light laugh and gave the conversation a gentle push. "Don’t praise me. I only made a suggestion. It’s Xavier who’ll be doing the real work in court. You should be giving him the credit."Coco paused for a moment. She knew Stellar was right, but somehow, the idea of complimenting Xavier made her feel oddly self-conscious.In the past, words like that would’ve come easily.But things were different now.Xavier, meanwhile, had already returned to his usual composed expression. "There’s no need for praise. Let’s talk about that after we win the case. Right now, we need Coco’s help with the public side of things. “Her eloquence and presence are exactly what we need to make Gatton suffer some real damage."After a round of mutual encouragement, the three quickly shifted focus to planning their next steps.At the same time, Stephen’s team began digging into Gatton Group.That same afternoon, he returned with a folder in hand. "From what I’ve found, Gatton’s been suppress

"Thank you, Mr. Brook, but Stellar isn’t drinking at the moment. I’ll take this one for her," Stephen said smoothly.He clinked glasses with Jonathan and downed the champagne in one go.His movements were confident and graceful, the curve of his throat as he drank especially striking.Stellar couldn’t help but smile at the sight.Jonathan’s expression darkened for a second, but he quickly forced a polite smile. "Mr. Ward, you’re certainly attentive. I should’ve considered Stellar’s situation—next time, I’ll be more thoughtful.""No need to worry about it, Mr. Brook." Stephen set the glass down and casually wrapped an arm around Stellar’s waist. "She’s my girlfriend. It’s only natural I look after her.""Mr. Ward, it’s best not to speak too soon," Jonathan replied, his tone laced with sharpness. "If I’m not mistaken, your family still hasn’t accepted her, have they? If you truly care about someone, wouldn’t you make sure everything is in place for her?"Stephen’s brows furrowed sligh

"They're too busy trying to protect themselves now. Besides, with Julian looking out for me, what could possibly happen?" Suzy’s eyes gleamed with unshakable confidence.Stellar felt genuinely happy for her. "Sounds like you really trust my uncle now. You two seem to be doing great."Suzy shrugged playfully. "I mean, we’re doing alright."But the way her smile lingered and the glow in her expression betrayed her true feelings.Julian walked over and greeted them casually.Once the three of them were in the car, Stellar finally couldn’t hold back her curiosity. "Uncle Julian, what was that ‘surprise’ you mentioned yesterday?"Before he could answer, Suzy chimed in with a playful glint in her eye. "Stellar, what if I told you… I’m going to play the lead in Burning Moonlight—would you be okay with that?"Stellar’s eyes widened in disbelief as she grabbed Suzy’s hand. "Suzy, you’re coming back?""Yeah," Suzy nodded. "After thinking it over these past weeks, I realized I really do love a

Suzy, however, smiled. "I know. That’s why I won’t give him the chance."Now that Aiden had been dealt with and his company’s illegal dealings were bound to be investigated and shut down,Victor had lost his strongest support.With no standing left in the company, it was time to eliminate him too.Seeing that she already had a plan in mind, Stellar no longer felt worried."Alright, it’s getting late. Let’s go eat!"The two of them linked arms and left the company. After meeting up with Julian, they headed to a restaurant for dinner.Over the meal, the three of them discussed the script for Burning Moonlight, talking at length about the character dynamics and plot development, the conversation stretching on for over an hour with no signs of boredom.After they finished eating, she got up to use the restroom.Just as she was about to step out of the stall, she suddenly heard a woman shouting outside in a shrill, furious voice, "Victor! You sent my son to prison. Don’t you think you shou

The Walsh family was massive—getting even half would still amount to over a hundred million. That would be more than enough for him to squander away for the rest of his life."You’ve got to be kidding me. Everything in the Walsh family was built by my ancestors. That’s my family’s legacy. Why should I give you a share?" Slyvia rejected him furiously."Because that’s what the law says. Any assets gained after marriage are considered joint property. “I’m not even asking for much—just half. If you don’t give it to me, I’ll file a lawsuit and have the court freeze your assets. I’ll get my share either way," Victor replied smugly.Looking at his familiar yet completely unrecognizable face, Slyvia felt a deep ache in her chest."So that’s why you married me?"Had he never truly cared for her at all?"Of course. Why else would I marry a divorced woman and raise her kid? You think I’m some kind of fool?"Now that things had come to this, Victor dropped all pretenses. "And let’s not forget, y
