“This is the collaboration project between Riverside Corporation and Brighton Group. I’ve successfully secured the deal.
“You can take a closer look at the investment returns. As for the follow–up work, I’ll leave it to you! I need to focus on my
research for now.”
“Good job, Stellar. You’re truly capable.”
Claude grew increasingly convinced that his niece was an all–around genius.
Honestly, no man in this world was worthy of her!
With the task off her hands, Stellar felt relieved and went back to her room to continue studying.
The next day.
At the Harlow and Moore families‘ engagement banquet, the scene of Yvonne being taken away by the police had already caused
an uproar across the city.
After all, so many reporters had been present.
The Harlow family tried to suppress the new
but there was no way to stop it from spreading.
As soon as they returned, numerous media outlets published articles, reporting on how Yvonne orchestrated Stellar’s kidnapping.
Word spread like wildfire.
The recording of her malicious scheming was undeniable proof.
Yvonne’s conviction was almost certain.
The Harlow family became a complete joke, and their company’s stock plummeted.
The Moore family wasn’t faring much better either.
Because of Stellar’s report, they were now tangled in lawsuits, and Xavier had shockingly taken on every single case against
them!
Many elite families secretly watched, amused by their downfall.
But the ones most affected were still lying in the hospital.
As for Percy and Margaret, their minds were occupied with something else entirely.
At the hospital.

Percy scrolled through the news.
When he saw that Yvonne was likely to be convicted, his first reaction was an immense sense of relief.
Finally, he wouldn’t have to be tied to that spoiled and overbearing woman.
For him, this was the best possible outcome.
“Mom, since Dad is out of danger, stay here and watch over him. I’m heading home.”
“Wait…”
Margaret quickly called out to stop him as she saw him about to leave.
The entire night, the realization that Stellar was actually the heiress of the Rivers family in Southport kept replaying in
Margaret’s mind, making it impossible for her to sleep.
While she deeply regretted the past, a sense of excitement also crept into her heart.
She witnessed firsthand how infatuated Stellar had been with her son.
“Percy, go home and change into something nice. Dress up properly and win Stellar back.”
With Stellar’s current status, she was now more than worthy of her son.
“Mom, I was already thinking the same thing.”
Percy spent the entire night reflecting, analyzing every detail, and finally came to a conclusion.
The reason Stellar broke up with him back then was, on one hand, because of Yvonne, and on the other, because she believed that
after experiencing abduction and assault, she was no longer ‘pure‘ enough to be with him.
But now,
he had
come to terms with it.

As long as Stellar was willing to come back, he could overlook that
He was certain that few men could do what he could.
No one would treat Stellar better than him.
With that realization, his confidence returned.
Margaret nodded in satisfaction before offering another piece of advice.
“Women need to be won over. Sometimes, you have to swallow your pride and give them a little sweetness. Once she’s part of this
family, with the full backing of the Rivers family, the Moores will never have anything to worry about again.”
And she could finally settle into her role as Mrs. Moore, the most influential and enviable woman in her social circle.
“I know what I’m doing.”

Percy spoke with unwavering confidence, then drove home, took a shower, and changed into a tailored suit
After styling his hair, he looked every bit the refined and charismatic gentleman.
As he headed downstairs and stepped out the door, he unexpectedly ran into someone.
“Percy!”
Pauline rushed over the moment she saw him, grabbing his arm.

“My dear boy, I finally found you! Please help me think of a way to get Yvonne out of the police station! She’s innocent! She’s
never suffered like this before!”
Just the thought of her biological daughter suffering in jail was unbearable.
Percy’s expression darkened.
He yanked his arm free from her grip and dropped all pretense of politeness.
Gone was the courteous and well–mannered act he had put on for her before. Now, his face was filled with nothing but disdain.
