Semua Bab As the Fake Heiress Rose to Power, the CEO Falls Apart: Bab 291 - Bab 300

Percy stared blankly at the stack of cash in his hands. A mere hundred dollars.When the realization sank in, he shot up from the ground, his face twisted in rage as he yelled at Stellar’s retreating figure."Stellar! No matter how much you hate me, how much you despise me, you didn’t have to humiliate me with a hundred dollars!"He had thought his pride had already been trampled into the dirt.Only now did he realize that there was an even greater humiliation.Stellar had just reached her car door when she heard his outburst. She turned back slightly, her expression calm."Have you forgotten? When I was at my lowest, you tossed me a hundred dollars and told me it was hard-earned money—that I should be grateful and not take my so-called good life for granted."In reality, at that time, she had just completed a major project for Percy’s company, securing a ten-million-dollar deal.Before the project was finished, Percy had praised her endlessly, calling her the company’s greatest asset

Stellar waited for about half an hour before the door opened again. This time, Rendell entered with a group of students and announced the good news to her. "Congratulations, Miss Rivers, you’ve successfully passed the interview." A spark of joy lit up in Stellar’s heart. "Does that mean I can start my internship at Starlight Aerospace?" "No…" Rendell shook his head. Seeing the confusion in her eyes, he smiled broadly. "You won’t need an internship. From today onward, you’re officially hired as an engineer at our base." Stellar was momentarily stunned, unable to believe it. She had worked tirelessly at the SA Aerospace Base, yet she hadn't even completed her internship there. But after just one interview here, she was directly hired? Noticing her thoughts, the others chimed in. "Miss Rivers, don’t doubt yourself. You’re incredibly smart. Solving a problem like that in just an hour proves your capabilities."Only fools would overlook talent like yours. That’s their l

Stellar's lips twitched sharply.She suddenly slammed the table and forced a smile. "Alright, since you three have so much to talk about, why don’t you just sit in a row?" The three men were speechless.Under Stellar’s undeniable authority, they wisely shut up and obediently sat side by side. She had to admit that once they quieted down, they formed quite the visually appealing lineup of handsome men. After dinner, the group played games together, and it wasn’t until past eleven that everyone finally started leaving. Before heading out, Zayden took the chance to lean in close and seriously told her, "Senior, if anyone at Starlight Aerospace ever bullies you or if you run into any trouble, remember to come to me first. “I’ll have your back, just like you did for me when we were kids." A warm feeling spread through Stellar’s heart. She couldn’t help but reach out and ruffle his hair. "Thanks, junior. I will." Zayden’s smile deepened. Taking advantage of her distraction, he

Rendell continued explaining, "A large group of investors will be attending, and they’ll be deciding their investments based on our performance. “We’ll be sending a few senior engineers to participate, but if anyone has recommendations, now’s the time to speak up."The moment he finished, a hand shot up."I nominate Stellar Rivers."Stellar was caught off guard. "I’m still new. I don’t think I qualify for something like this.""But your skills speak for themselves! We need to show SA Base what they lost out on when they let you go—that’s their loss, not ours.""Exactly! I second that!"More voices joined in, hands raising in support.Seeing the overwhelming agreement, Rendell nodded. "Alright, we’ll have Stellar join us. No pressure, just do your best."Stellar felt a wave of gratitude. Since she was going, she was determined to prepare well.…At 3:00 PM, Stellar arrived at the event venue and immediately noticed Joy on stage, confidently holding a microphone as she spoke about the

On the other end—After persuading the investors, Joy had just returned to the base when someone came running over excitedly to tell her that Christopher had arrived.She lit up at the news and walked into the office area, where she immediately spotted the elite-looking man surrounded by people. She smiled and walked up to him. “Chris, you’re finally here.”Everyone quickly stepped aside to make way for her.Christopher greeted her with a warm smile. “Joy, it’s been a while. You’re getting prettier every time I see you. I heard from our mentor that you’ve hit a bit of a roadblock?”“It’s just some trouble with the aircraft modification,” Joy replied with a smile. “But with someone like you, a world-class talent, any technical problem is nothing.”Her string of compliments filled Christopher with confidence. He patted his chest and said, “So it’s a technical issue? I should be able to fix it. Come on, show me what we’ve got!”The engineers watching were instantly thrilled, their faces
