Paid To Care, Destined To Conquer Novel

Chapter 494 The End (2) The influencer and her phone were escorted out by security and staff. The invited loyal players of Nova Legends were now staring at Stella in utter disbelief. 'Is she Starfall?' someone thought, stunned. 'She's actually Starfall?' Everyone was freaking out inside. 'If Starfall is here, then Moondust must be close by, right?' someone whispered. Just as everyone was deep in thought, the lights in the ballroom suddenly dimmed, adding a mysterious vibe to the atmosphere.

The media section started letting people in, and soon, top media outlets from all over Clusia packed the area, armed with all kinds of cameras and gear. There was just one minute left until eight o'clock. Right then, Nova Group's official website switched to maintenance mode, as if it were gearing up for the big reveal of the three founders for the very first time. Time flew by. It was right at eight o'clock. Suddenly, the host's voice sliced through the silence. The host said, "Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the three founders of Nova Group, Mr.

Allan!" A spotlight snapped on, shining right on Allan, who was dressed to the nines tonight. At the same time, the official website was refreshed, updating Allan's profile. The host continued, "Mr. Morgan! "And finally, the legendary Moondust, ID number 00001, the highly anticipated master in Nova Legends, beloved by countless players, the game's founder and CEO of Nova Group, Mr. Sebastian Gray!" The moment the founders' profiles went public on the official site, photos of Morgan and Sebastian popped up right alongside Allan's.

Clusia lost its mind, especially since Sebastian had just revealed he was the CEO of Dorestan Bank not long ago. 'Hold up, so these guys are the masterminds behind Nova Group, which could rival a nation in wealth, and Dorestan Bank, which is basically a country of its own? Seriously?!' everyone thought, totally floored. Stella watched Sebastian on stage, raising her brows thoughtfully. 'Moondust, MDT' Stella thought. 'So that's what his initials meant when he first joined the dark web?' Stella realized. Half an hour passed.

Out on the balcony, Stella rested her pale elbow on the ornate railing, the night breeze gently tousling her long. hair. Suddenly, a shadow appeared beside her. Stella tilted her head, her gaze carrying a hint of mischief and defiance. "Moondust?" Sebastian's deep eyes lingered on her face as he reached out, gently tucking a strand of her wind-blown hair behind her ear. His voice came out a bit husky, "Yeah, it is just a nickname." 'Moondust. Stella thought to herself. 'Stella.' Stella mused inwardly.

Stella thought, 'Funny how well they go together.' Suddenly, a burst of dazzling silver firework exploded overhead lighting up the whole night sky. Successfully unlocked! Chapter 494 The End (2) But that was just the start. In a flash, more fireworks shot up one after another, each one showing five cute cartoon old men and ladies, and finally, a giant killer whale mascot. Stella looked up at the sky, her delicate features glowing in the light of the fireworks. It was a gift from the old geezers and Killer Whale.

People on the street stopped to watch the fireworks, and Sebastian took the chance to sneakily slip out the black velvet ring box he'd been carrying, holding it tightly in his palm. "Stella..." The next second, Stella raised an eyebrow and stuck her hand out expectantly. Sebastian was stunned. Stella nudged his leg with her toe. "Quit stalling." She'd given him plenty of chances last night. Sebastian opened the box, and a stunning ring with a rare blue diamond caught both their eyes. "Will you marry me?" He sounded a little nervous, his voice low and husky.

"What if I say no?" Stella raised an eyebrow, but before she could finish, Sebastian had already slipped the ring onto her finger in a flash, not giving her a chance to say another word. Stella was speechless. She thought, 'Wow, the fit's spot on.' He'd fumbled around measuring her finger in the middle of the night more times than she could count. She'd be half-asleep, fighting the urge to just kick him off the bed. 'Honestly, I deserve a medal for putting up with this guy,' she thought. Sebastian pulled her into his arms.

"Then I'll just keep asking until you say yes!" Stella gave a playful chuckle. She was actually kind of moved for a moment. But that warm feeling didn't stick around for long. The balcony door burst open as a whole crowd tumbled in, tripping over each other, men, women, old folks, kids, everyone was there. Sebastian was speechless. Stella, didn't know what to say. Allan, sprawled on top of the pile, grinned and waved. "Hey." Morgan looked around, a bit lost, and gave a small wave. Sebastian nodded. Stella just ignored it. "Wow, Stella and Sebastian's love story is finally complete!

You two go be brave, and I'm always gonna be right behind you!" Blake was sobbing with snot and tears streaming down his face. The old folks were just as emotional, wiping away their tears with red, puffy eyes. Lucas didn't say a word. He looked at Blake like he was contagious and scooted as far away as possible. Another firework burst right above everyone's heads, showering the crowd in light. Stella took a deep breath and held it in. She thought, 'Whatever, it's a big day after all.' "Tonight, we're heading back to Sandridge Island," Sebastian leaned in and whispered in her ear.

That was when Stella's smile finally broke free. "Alright," Stella replied. Chapter 494 The End (2) The next morning, they arrived at Sandridge Island. At the other end of the undersea tunnel, a massive tiger, easily as tall as a person, sat there looking all innocent, still munching away on something. Simba spat out half a sock, then started digging a hole with his back paws, trying to bury the evidence. Next to him, Snowball looked totally disgusted and slowly waddled away, one big lump at a time.

Meanwhile, Scrappy was chasing after Simba, apron on and a big stainless-steel food bowl in hand. "Simbay, are you starving or what!" Simba thought, 'Meow? What's going on?' Somehow, the whole Yates clan had already gotten the memo and were crowding at the island entrance. One by one, they showed up, and Yeti dashed over, checked out his freshly washed fluffy fur, and then just flopped right onto Snowball's back. Snowball thought, 'Are you kidding me?!' Snowball was losing it.

"My Black!" Ivan clutched his trench coat tight in the shadows as six fluffy little heads popped out, meowing nonstop. But that wasn't all. Four more tiny kittens poked out of each of his coat pockets, one after another. Turns out, they were all the babies of those six newborn kittens Ivan found back then. "Now I know why you guys eat so much!" Ivan wailed. Ivan was rambling on, mumbling nonstop. "They're back!" Annette exclaimed, her voice full of warmth. Annette sat on the stone bench, her elegant, tailored dress and gentle gaze making her look every bit the loving matriarch.

She was the first to spot the car, a sleek black Maybach gliding slowly toward them. Suddenly, the window rolled down, and out popped a big white head. "We're back!" Stella called out with a bright grin. A moment later, they said, "Welcome home," Annette said warmly.
