“Our strength as women is naturally weaker than a man’s. That’s why we don’t rely on brute force.
“It’s all about technique–striking when least expected, with speed, precision, and force.”
She demonstrated a few key moves, walking Stellar through the motions twice.
“When you need to teach someone a lesson, it’s all about hitting the right spots.
“These moves cause the most pain without leaving visible marks. The real soreness won’t kick in until twenty- four hours later.”
Stellar was a fast learner.
Her sharp mind and strong intuition allowed her to absorb every detail of Mary’s demonstration with ease.
Within just thirty minutes, she had already replicated the moves flawlessly.
“Miss Stellar, you’re incredible!” Mary exclaimed, stunned
“Not only did you pick it up instantly, but your movements are clean, precise, and completely fluid. You’re a natural!”
She hadn’t expected Stellar to have such raw talent.
It must be in her blood–the Rivers‘ blood.
Strength was simply in her genes.
Stellar felt a little embarrassed by the praise but still explained modestly, “It’s not that I have any special talent. My training comes from necessity.
“Because of my profession, I had to undergo physical conditioning. I was a pilot, and only those who met strict physical requirements could qualify.”
She had endured plenty of hardships during that time.
But because she had loved it, it never felt unbearable.
However, what was unbearable was the fact that she had once been blind enough to throw it all away.
She had abandoned her dream, her career, her future–just to orbit around Percy like a fool.
But not anymore.
she had moved on.
Dwelling on the past was pointless.
She made her choice, and from here on out, things would only get better.
“Miss Stellar, there’s no need to be humble. You are a genius,” Mary said proudly, beaming.
And inside, she was practically bursting with excitement.
It looked like she finally found her successor.
Her husband was going to be thrilled.
Once Stellar returned to Southport, she’d have to ask Marth for permission to introduce her to him!

But the incident had already caused quite a stir.
It all started when a passerby captured a video of Percy being escorted into a police car and uploaded it online.
His face was well–known among high society, and it didn’t take long for people to recognize him.
Soon, the video was circulating in private social circles.
“Wait… isn’t that Percy Moore? Am I seeing this right? Why is he being arrested?”
“Oh my god, it is him! What did he do?”
“The person who recorded it said he assaulted an elderly woman and vandalized property in a store.”
“No way… he’s a CEO, for god’s sake. That’s seriously low–class behavior.”
“Hahaha, I mean, I’ve heard of rich kids getting caught for drugs or escorts, but this? This is a first.”
Since the case was public record, it wasn’t long before people dug up the details of his punishment, including the one–hundred–dollar fine.
And just like that, word spread like wildfire.
Within hours, half of high society was buzzing about how Percy got arrested for attacking an elderly wornan, thrown into a holding cell, and slapped with a humiliating cne–hundred–dollar penalty.
He had officially become the joke of the elite circle.
At the private lounge, Chris scrolled through the group chat absorbing the flood of messages before awkwardly shutting off his phone.
“Another bottle,” came a slurred voice from across the room.

Chris looked up and saw Percy slouched on the couch, gripping his glass with a drunken sway.
His once–pristine suit was rumpled, his tie mismatched, and his face was flushed red from alcohol.
He looked nothing like the polished, self–assured CEO he used to be.
Instead, he was a complete mess.
