It didn’t take long for Stellar to remember that she’d painted it during the lowest point of her life, when she first discovered the truth about her past. Lost and overwhelmed, it became a raw expression of the turmoil she was drowning in. It was no wonder the memory was so vivid.Afterward, she asked Zayden to look for it in the studio and eventually put the original on display.If Susan hadn’t pulled this stunt—risking Stellar’s reputation just to elevate her own—maybe Stellar wouldn’t have exposed the truth. But now that it had come to this, she had no reason to hold back."No wonder I thought the painting was so striking. Turns out it is really the work of Sole Light." "God, Susan Raines is disgusting! Faking remorse just to climb higher? She has zero talent and still had the nerve to copy someone else’s work for fame and profit." "I actually felt bad for her earlier. I thought she was just a victim stuck in someone else’s shadow." "She played us all for fools. Someone lik

But when Keith scrolled past the post, jealousy hit him hard. He knew Stephen was flaunting it on purpose, but there was nothing he could do in return. All he could do was stare at the photo, stewing in silent bitterness. …The next day, Claude was scheduled to attend a bidding event. The event was scheduled for the afternoon, and since Stellar was home, he invited her to come along, saying it would be a good learning experience—something that might come in handy down the line.Stellar had nothing else planned, so she went with him. The venue was spacious and brightly lit, with rows of tables and chairs arranged neatly. Many of the bidders were already present.They were seasoned business elites, each with an impressive background. Stellar glanced around casually, about to shift her gaze elsewhere when a familiar figure walked in from the opposite side of the room. It was Percy.Today, he looked nothing like the washed-up man she remembered. He wore a crisp tailored su

Martha and Stellar shared a helpless glance before finally giving in with a quiet nod.They drove Cheryl over to the preschool together.All the way there, Cheryl kept bragging nonstop. "This preschool? It’s the top bilingual academy in the area. All the language teachers are brought in from overseas! Tuition alone runs around four or six grand a year. “My son really values his kid’s education, so he’s giving him the absolute best. It’s like pouring money down the drain, but thankfully, he makes enough to support the family. “He even bought a house here and paid four hundred thousand dollars without blinking."The more she talked, the prouder she sounded, completely unaware that the car she was riding in was worth far more than that.Stellar’s ears were practically going numb from the constant boasting. But out of respect for her elder, she held her tongue and didn’t interrupt.When Cheryl finally ran out of things to say and noticed the lack of praise from her audience, she turn

So, she teased him on purpose. "Then maybe you should consider joining us at Starlight.""Are you trying to poach me?""Yep. Will you let me?"Stephen seemed to think it over for a moment, then shook his head. "Better not."Stellar knew switching bases wasn't something anyone would do on a whim—she’d only been joking. Still, hearing his firm refusal made her feel a tiny twinge of disappointment."Aren’t you going to ask why?""Hmm?" She looked up, puzzled. "Why?""Because…" Stephen looked down at her, eyes warm with amusement. "As far as I know, Starlight doesn’t allow workplace relationships. And that’s something I just can’t give up."Stellar’s heart gave a hard thump. In that moment, she finally understood what it meant to feel butterflies.This man had a way of tugging at her heartstrings with just a simple line."Ahem..." She couldn’t help the smile tugging at her lips and quickly turned her head. "Well then, I guess it really is out of the question."They let the subject pass

The little brat joined right in with his grandmother, hurling insults. "You filthy woman! Seductress! You’re a liar! Dream on!"Stellar didn’t waste another word. She pulled out her phone and spoke calmly into it. "Hello, is this the police? I’d like to report a case of intentional property damage. Please send officers over immediately."With that, she hung up.Cheryl’s eyes bulged, her face flushing red with rage. "You’ve lost your mind! Calling the cops over something like this? You’re insane. We’re leaving!"She grabbed her grandson’s hand and turned to storm off only to be blocked at the door by several bodyguards."No one’s going anywhere," Stellar said coldly. "Not until the police arrive, assess the damage, and calculate the compensation. Then you can leave."A shiver ran down Cheryl’s spine.The chubby boy burst into loud sobs. "Grandma! I’m scared!"Cheryl, flustered but trying to keep her composure, cooed, "Don’t be scared, baby. They’re keeping us here against our will. Jus
