Lahat ng Kabanata ng As the Fake Heiress Rose to Power, the CEO Falls Apart: Kabanata 151 - Kabanata 160

Now that Stellar finally understood Janet’s motives, she found them even more absurd."Just because I am the true heiress of the Rivers family, and my grandparents are my closest relatives, you—an outsider—think you have the right to claim everything as yours? “Have you stayed in the Rivers family for so long that you actually believe you belong here?" Her voice dripped with sarcasm. The truth always struck the deepest. Stellar wasn’t being cruel. She had simply fought too hard to reunite with her family—she wasn’t about to lose them again. Janet couldn’t bear the humiliation. Just as she was about to step forward in anger, she suddenly noticed a figure not far away. In an instant, she reversed her move and delivered a hard slap to her own face. Tears welled up in her eyes as she looked pitifully at Stellar. "Stellar, I thought we had already moved past this. I didn’t expect you to still blame me. If hitting me makes you feel better, then go ahead." Stellar was stunne

"That’s right, Stellar. You deserve the best in this world. That brat from the Ward family must be blind, so let’s find someone even more handsome, intelligent, and successful to make him regret it for the rest of his life!" Laurence was clearly still fuming over the Ward family's broken engagement. Stellar glanced down at the stack of profiles and photos in front of her, feeling a wave of awkwardness. She had no interest in dating, let alone marriage, at the moment. But turning down her grandparents' well-intentioned efforts outright felt too harsh. "Grandpa, Grandma, I’m a little tired today. I’ll look through them another time." She covered it up with a small yawn for good measure. At that, the elderly couple immediately realized their oversight. "Of course! You’ve been traveling all day, and we haven’t even let you rest. What were we thinking?" Martha quickly shot a glance at Claude. "Claude, take Stellar to her room so she can get some rest." Claude stood up,

The next day after breakfast, Stellar finally learned the full extent of the situation from Claude.By the time she thought about finding an excuse to turn it down, it was already too late. She had been thrown straight into the deep end.A team of professional stylists and designers, personally hired by the family, had already arrived and were knocking on her door.Stellar quickly ran over to open it.The lead stylist, upon seeing her bare face, paused in surprise.She had worked with countless heiresses and celebrities, but she had never seen such naturally striking features.Every aspect of Stellar’s face was perfectly balanced—delicate yet defined, with harmonious proportions. She barely needed any enhancement to stand out."Miss, your bone structure and facial features are absolutely flawless. Whatever style you prefer, we can make it happen."Stellar hadn’t expected such an enthusiastic compliment and gave them a friendly smile."Feel free to do whatever you think works best—jus

Stellar had been holding back, but after hearing that, she saw no reason to be polite anymore."The best option? You mean yourself?" She let out a short laugh. "Sorry, but I’m not that desperate. Whether I get married or not is none of your concern."With that, she stepped past him, ready to walk away."Stop right there!"Ace was furious. His hand shot out to grab her wrist but before he could touch her, his own wrist was caught in a firm grip."Mr. Rothwell, this is the Rivers family's banquet," a familiar voice drawled. "As a guest, shouldn’t you know how to respect your hosts?"Stellar's eyes widened in surprise.Standing before her, dressed in a crisp white suit, was a man with a casually tousled strand of hair tied up at the back."Keith Sinclair?"He was here? How had she not noticed his name on the guest list?Keith released Ace’s wrist and turned to her with a devil-may-care grin, the kind that could send a thousand hearts fluttering."It’s me. Didn’t expect you to be the Riv

As the final note faded, the entire hall fell into a moment of silence.Stellar rose gracefully and said, "Thank you, everyone. This is a piece I composed in my free time, representing my wishes for happiness and blessings. It is also a special gift for my grandfather on his birthday. I hope he likes it."As soon as she finished speaking, the guests snapped out of their daze, and thunderous applause erupted across the hall.Laurence beamed with pride and satisfaction.Only Janet looked both furious and anxious, her expression turning incredibly sour. She hadn't expected this outcome at all, leaving her completely unprepared.At that moment, Stellar's gaze landed on her, her voice gentle as she spoke."Janet, I’ve heard that your piano skills are exceptional and that you've even won an international piano competition. I would love to hear you play. Would you mind performing a piece?"Did Janet really think she wouldn’t see through her little schemes?Since the other party had set a tra
