He didn't believe anyone would dare take on such a task."No, we can't. But, Mr. Grayson... I believe there's no company in the entire industry that can—"Before he could finish, a crisp female voice suddenly rang out from behind."We can!"Percy looked up in shock, only to see Stellar approaching with graceful strides. Her red lips parted slightly as she effortlessly provided the explanation he had struggled to come up with regarding HY materials. She even pointed out the commonalities between HY and CM materials. Simply put, CM material was just an upgraded version of HY material."Give me a month, and I guarantee this material can be successfully upgraded!"As she spoke, Stellar cast a cold glance at Percy.She originally intended to come here just to test the waters, wondering how to tackle this difficult challenge. But she hadn’t expected that as soon as she reached the doorway, she would hear Percy’s words, giving her the perfect opportunity.If she remembered correctly, her

Hearing this, Stellar merely let out a soft chuckle. "Whether I have the ability to get into Professor Stone's research institute isn’t for you to decide."She cast a casual glance at Yvonne. "But if you really doubt me, Miss Harlow, why don’t you go ahead and answer Mr. Grayson’s question yourself?"A wave of humiliation and frustration surged through Yvonne. She was absolutely livid.But there was no way she could answer—she didn’t understand a single thing Stellar had just said. And with so many people watching, she couldn’t throw a tantrum either. She could only stand there, her face turning an embarrassing shade of red.Stellar didn’t spare her another glance. Instead, she refocused her unwavering gaze on Zachary."Mr. Grayson, just give me a chance. In one month, I’ll bring you the upgraded material."Zachary didn’t answer right away. Instead, something else caught his attention."You mentioned Professor Stone just now… Are you talking about Victor Stone from the Institute o

Percy snapped out of his thoughts, but his mind kept replaying the image of Stellar standing her ground, confident and unyielding. His eyes narrowed slightly. Was she trying to destroy what she couldn’t have? Or was this just another way to get his attention? Did she really think she was that important? The thought made him scoff. With a smirk, he wrapped an arm around Yvonne’s waist and strode up to Stellar, arrogance radiating from his every step. "Stellar, have you had enough of this little game of playing hard to get? No matter how much you try to fight me for this project or force your presence in front of me, I won’t spare you a second glance. I already have Yvonne. All your efforts are pointless." He deliberately provoked her, waiting to see some sign of hurt, resentment, or even jealousy in her eyes. But Stellar merely cast him an indifferent glance before responding in a tone devoid of emotion. "Is that so? Then I wish you both a lifetime of happiness and a

Raymond was momentarily surprised."Sir, your headaches are back? But you haven’t had a single episode since Miss Rivers made that custom aromatherapy blend for you. How is that possible…?"Percy froze. "Stellar made an aromatherapy blend? What are you talking about?"Raymond hesitated for a moment before answering. "The scent she used to infuse into your clothes every day. “Oh, and there was also some in your car—it was hidden inside the charm that came with the lucky cat figurine she gave you. “Miss Rivers blended the fragrance herself, and none of us knew the exact formula."Percy’s head snapped up.Since Stellar left, the household staff had been handling his clothes. The familiar scent had disappeared, replaced by something different.And his car…His gaze flicked to the dashboard. The spot where the small good luck charm had once sat was now occupied by a tacky golden saint statue—something Yvonne insisted on replacing it with after throwing the original one away.Raymond kept

For years, he hadn’t experienced pain like this. Now, it felt as if something was relentlessly hammering against his skull.The medication was out of the question, and even after Raymond spent a long time massaging his temples, the agony refused to subside.His vision started to blur, splitting into double images.With no other option, Percy reluctantly called Stellar, hoping to get the formula from her."Sorry, the number you have dialed…"His expression darkened.Right. He was blocked.Grinding his teeth, he ended the call and turned to Raymond, holding out his hand."Give me your phone."Feeling the heavy pressure radiating from Percy’s cold demeanor, Raymond didn’t dare ask questions. He quickly handed his phone over.Percy punched in a number he knew by heart and called again.This time, the line rang for a few seconds before being answered."Hello, who is this?"Stellar’s cool, clear voice came through, crisp as a mountain spring, instantly easing some of the tension in his che

That afternoon, as Stellar stepped out of the library, a slender figure suddenly emerged from the bustling crowd, blocking her path. "You’re Stellar Rivers, right?" The woman in front of her had wavy, styled hair and a designer handbag slung over her shoulder. Arms crossed, her expression was haughty and condescending. She looked to be in her early twenties, clearly a student, and somewhat familiar. "And you are?" "I’m Camille Dawson, a graduate student under Professor Stone." Camille sized her up, her gaze dripping with disdain. "I heard you graduated two years ago, yet now you’re back, acting like you belong here, taking the same exam as us to get into Professor Stone’s latest research team. I can’t help but wonder—what kind of strings did you pull? You must be really talented." Her tone was laced with sarcasm. But Stellar remained unfazed, her expression calm as she countered, "Is there a rule that says alumni can’t return for further studies?" Camille let out a

The memories replayed in her mind, each scene striking at her heart like a sharp blade.But now, she was no longer the person she used to be.She had the courage to face this head-on. She would never be the weak, helpless girl who let others trample over her. Giving in would only allow the schemers to win and give them more reason to gloat.She paused briefly, then spoke, her voice calm and unwavering."Do you really think a single photo is enough to spread rumors and condemn me?"Her clear, steady voice carried through the air like a gentle stream, silencing the murmuring crowd.Camille was caught off guard for a moment, but quickly lifted the photograph again, her expression smug."This picture alone is proof that your relationship with him isn’t ordinary. What else is there to argue?""I don’t need to argue. I just need to point out one fact."Stellar raised an eyebrow, then asked coolly,"The day you took this picture, why didn’t you mention that Professor Stone was there too? Th

The day of the exam arrived quickly.Stellar woke up early, dressed in a crisp white button-up and jeans, and tied her hair into a sleek ponytail with a headband. She looked every bit the perfect, diligent student.After twirling in front of the mirror with satisfaction, she headed downstairs.At the dining table, Mary had prepared a special breakfast—a double-yolk egg with ham—her face full of warmth."Miss, good luck! You’re going to ace this exam."The familiar gesture, a tradition she had seen countless times, stirred an unexpected wave of emotion in Stellar.It reminded her of the days when she was still in the Harlow family. Back then, before they knew her true identity, her adoptive mother had cared for her just as sincerely. She had also prepared eggs and ham before important exams, wishing her success.But those days were long gone.Pushing aside the memories, Stellar wrapped Mary in a tight hug."Thank you, Mary. I’ll take all the luck I can get."This feeling—being cared

"Correct answer."A flicker of shock crossed Camille’s eyes.Stellar actually got it right?It must have been a lucky guess.Didn’t Yvonne say she had spent the last two years doing nothing but chasing after men? How could she possibly still be keeping up?The instructor quickly moved on to the second and third questions.And every single time, before anyone else had a chance to fully process the problem, Stellar had already pressed the buzzer, delivering the correct answer without hesitation.Camille’s expression finally shifted.Her fingers curled into fists, her nails digging into her palms. There was no way Stellar was guessing all of them right.By the fourth question, Camille straightened in her seat, sharpening her focus."Regarding the structural components of a mechanical system, which principle must be applied…"This one was noticeably harder than the previous ones.Even after carefully analyzing it, ten full seconds passed, and Camille still couldn’t figure out the answer.

Just as Camille was basking in her silent triumph, Stellar finally lifted her head, her bright eyes curving with an easy confidence."I was just considering how to phrase my response accurately," she said calmly. "Because, in reality, this question has two possible answers, meaning there are two correct solutions."A ripple of shock spread through the room.Even the professor’s expression shifted, his interest visibly piqued."Miss Rivers, can you explain what the two solutions are?" he asked, leaning forward.Without hesitation, Stellar articulated both possibilities with perfect clarity.The professor glanced down at the answer key, then nodded in satisfaction.The room fell into stunned silence.Even Camille stood frozen, her face paling in disbelief.How was this happening?!Behind the observation monitors, Victor burst into laughter, his face beaming with pride."Did you see that?" he said, still grinning. "That’s my student. She never fails to exceed expectations!"Beside him, S
