But her creative energy still surged.Stellar saved the draft but didn’t publish it just yet.This novel, After Dawn, felt like her unfinished life—one she was determined to keep writing.Afterward, she sent a message to David, letting him know she was making her return.It wasn’t long before his response came in—a flurry of excited, spinning emojis.“This is amazing, Star Luna! It had been two years, three months, and six days! Welcome back, we love you!!!”Stellar was both touched and amused.So, this was what it felt like to be liked and anticipated. It was a wonderful feeling.With that warmth in her heart, she went to bed in high spirits.But the next day, when she arrived at the base, she quickly noticed something was off.People were whispering, shooting her subtle, or not-so-subtle, glances."That’s her? Can you believe it?""Typical. Just another case of someone desperate for fame.""Didn't I say she was just pretending all along?"Their gazes carried a mix of ridicule, disdai

Eddie knew exactly how to exploit Tori’s weak spot. After a moment, she finally calmed down. "What are you so afraid of? At the end of the day, this so-called 'Star Luna' is just one of Suzy’s regular friends from outside the industry. "If she really had any connections, do you think someone who looks like her would still be a nobody?"Eddie's eyes lit up at her words. "Right! I remember her mentioning that she was the fake heiress of the Harlow family and was kicked out. She really has no backing at all." "Then it’s simple." Tori beckoned him over and whispered a few instructions. Eddie nodded repeatedly, then quickly picked up his phone from the floor and dialed a number. …By evening, Stellar left the base, but instead of heading home, she drove to a nearby café. When she approached a window seat, Eddie was already there, waiting. As soon as she arrived, he stood up and pulled out a chair for her, his attitude overly attentive. "Go ahead," Stellar said as she sat dow

Stellar felt a wave of emotion as she typed her response: "Thank you for your understanding and support. Can I ask..."Initially, she had only planned to make some casual small talk.But Wind Charm quickly replied: "Maybe because I’ve had a similar experience to the protagonist. If I were in their shoes, I’d make the same choice."Feeling intrigued, Stellar continued the conversation.Before she knew it, midnight had passed.Even then, she still wasn’t ready to stop.Wind Charm understood her writing, resonated with her thoughts, and even shared similar values. Having a reader like this made her genuinely happy.But Wind Charm was more considerate, sending a final message: "It’s late. You should get some rest. Goodnight.""Goodnight."With that, Stellar went to sleep in a good mood.The next day at the base, trouble came knocking.The aircraft modification project was nearing completion, but her internship wasn’t over yet.Which meant all the tedious work had been dumped on her."Thes

At that moment, Guy’s face turned an alarming shade of red—humiliation and rage twisting his expression. But this time, even those who had sided with him stayed silent. After all, they had almost been dragged down with him. At the same time, their perception of Stellar shifted. For the first time, they truly acknowledged her capabilities. Just then, Joy entered the room. "I saw everything that just happened," she said, her voice calm and authoritative. "This was indeed Mr. Wellson’s mistake, and I will be reporting it for further action. Moving forward, I will personally assign the project tasks." Her handling of the situation was fair, leaving no room for argument. Everyone accepted it without question. Even Stellar had no objections. The only one left shaken was Guy. His face had gone pale, his emotions a mix of shock and disappointment. He had only done this to get back at Stellar for Joy’s sake, yet not only had it backfired, but he was now facing consequence

Stellar lifted her head coldly, glancing at her through the mirror before quickly looking away, treating her as if she didn’t exist. Her indifference instantly ignited Tori’s anger. She strode forward, ready to confront her, but just as she was about to speak, her gaze landed on the red string wrapped around Stellar’s wrist. The design was simple, nothing particularly special about it. However, Tori immediately thought of Zayden’s earlier outburst. As her eyes flickered with calculation, an idea surfaced in her mind. A smile suddenly curled on her lips, her arrogance from before vanishing as she spoke in a friendly tone, "Miss Rivers, I was wrong about what happened earlier. I’ve actually been wanting to find a chance to apologize. “How about we go out for a drink and put everything behind us?" Stellar found her sudden change of attitude nauseating. "If you think we can just make peace, you must still be dreaming," she replied, voice laced with sarcasm. Surprisingly, T
