“Stella, how’s my brother?” Shane asked anxiously.

“If you don’t follow the doctor’s orders, don’t come to me for treatment. You’ll ruin my reputation,” Stella replied sharply.
“I’m sorry. The Corbin family has too many matters to handle,” Sean said.
“So your life doesn’t matter?”
Sean froze for a second. “It matters just as much.”
“You can cure him?” Yvonne gasped in shock.
She was also in the medical field, but Sean’s illness seemed incurable to her.

He’d survived this long only because the Corbins had top–tier medicine and a team of skilled doctors on call.
“Look, we’re competitors right now. You shouldn’t be here,” Shane frowned, looking annoyed.
“Competitors? Aren’t we all siblings?” Yvonne asked.
“Siblings? Have you forgotten how we fought each other?” Shane shot back.
Yvonne looked embarrassed.
“Leave! You’re here to spy on us–do you think we’re blind?” Shane pushed her toward the door, but she refused to move.
“I’m not competing for the heir position anymore. Compared to you, Stella, I’m far less capable,” Yvonne admitted.
Stella stared at her. What’s this about?
“Cut the act. Your smile is creepy,” Shane said, shoving her out forcefully.
Yvonne glanced back at Stella, hoping for a sign to stay–but none came.
She’d always been arrogant, used to being first. She never realized how many geniuses were out there.
The more she got to know Stella, the more she felt like a nobody in comparison.
“Finally, she’s gone. So annoying,” Shane muttered, walking back. “Stella, really–how’s my

“What did the Corbin doctors say?” Stella asked.
Shane’s voice was helpless. “He has at most six months to live.”

“I can extend your life by ten years. But you have to follow my orders–no more overworking yourself,” Stella said.
Sean nodded slightly. “Since I found out about my illness, the family’s been in chaos. I had no choice but to take charge.”
“What about him? Is he just for show?” Stella nodded at Shane.
Shane looked awkward, scratching his head with a laugh. “I… I’m not capable enough. No one would listen to me. They’d probably eat me alive if I took over.”
“If I need to rest to live ten more years, the Corbins still need an heir,” Sean said, his eyes fixed on Stella.
“What about Nadia?” Stella asked.
The brothers froze. “Stella, why would you think of her?” Shane asked.
“I’m asking–what’s she like?”
The brothers exchanged a look and nodded.
“She’s very capable,” Sean said. “If she weren’t from a branch family back then, she might have surpassed my father to lead the Corbins.”
“Stella, Grandpa feels guilty about his sister. But in terms of ability, you’re definitely the best. You’re the right choice,” Shane added.
“That makes things easier,” Stella said, handing Sean a new prescription.
The brothers looked confused.
“Stella, what makes things easier?” Shane couldn’t help but ask.
Stella just smiled and didn’t answer. She checked her phone and walked out.
“Elias.”
When Elias saw her, the tension in his shoulders melted. He pulled her into a tight hug. “Are you hurt?” His voice trembled slightly.

Who would have thought the fearless Mr. Cross was most afraid of Stella getting hurt?
“Hurt?” Stella looked confused.
Elias held her hands, checking them carefully.
“Did the bodyguards spread false rumors?” Stella asked.
“Rhett came to see you,” he said.
“Yeah.”
Elias‘ handsome face turned cold. “Looks like I haven’t given him enough trouble.”

Stella blinked, hugging him gently, feeling a twinge of sympathy. He’s so busy, but he always helpsme quietly.
“Stella, I heard you’re racing Rhett?” Elias asked.
“Yeah.”
“It’s too dangerous,” he said, his eyes filled with worry.
Finished
“If I don’t beat him into submission, he’ll keep challenging me. Racing’s the only thing he’s good at,” Stella explained.
“But you don’t have to risk yourself for that.”
