?Chapter 1173:


    As she described every little detail of her dream wedding with such joy, he listened quietly, as though he was ready to move heaven and earth just to make it real for her.


    Beyond the excitement of wedding nning, Ste couldn’t help but start worrying about Marc’s “career” too.


    In her memories, he was still the man she had once supported—the one who had struggled to build his business from scratch.


    One evening after dinner, while they sat together watching TV, she finally asked about his current work situation. The house they lived in now looked different from the one they used to share.


    When she had questioned him earlier, Marc had exined that some of his past ventures hadn’t worked out, leading to financial losses, which was why they were staying there temporarily. Lance, aware that Marc had almost nothing left, had discreetly offered one of his own mansions for him to live in—helping him preserve the illusion in front of Ste.


    Marc had been avoiding any talk about worktely, which only deepened Ste’s concern.


    “Marc,” she began gently, “how’s yourpany doing these days? It’s been two years, and I’m sure a lot has changed. You seem a bit stressed sometimes. If there’s any problem, please tell me, and I’ll help however I can.”


    Inside, Marc let out a silent, bitterugh. Hispany had been sold long ago, and the so-called “studio” he ran now existed only thanks to Lance’s generosity—with barely five people working there.


    He couldn’t bring himself to tell her the truth, so he forced a smile and answered vaguely, “Everything’s fine. Just a few technical issues here and there.”


    Ste’s eyes lit up instantly, and she sat up straight beside him. “What’s the problem? Tell me. Maybe I’m not the top expert, but I’ve solved plenty of problems for you before—I can help!”


    Her confidence, tinged with unmistakable pride, made Marc hesitate. Then, somehow, he found himself unable to refuse.


    “Thepany…” he admitted slowly, “itcks core technology right now. The patent you developed two years ago—it’s obsolete. If we want to staypetitive, we’ll need something new… something better.”


    He said it casually, almost dismissively, assuming Ste’s memory loss would leave her stranded in the past, unable to create anything truly groundbreaking.

    But he was in for a surprise.


    Despite the amnesia, Ste’s mind remained razor-sharp.


    For days, she immersed herself in research—absorbing Marc’s insights about thepany’s positioning, mapping out a meticulous n, and refining every detail with relentless focus. Before long, she not only had a blueprint for the studio’s future, but also a new patent concept with undeniable market potential.


    That afternoon, she handed Marc a stack of papers covered in diagrams, forms, and notes, her eyes sparkling. “Marc… do you think this could work?”


    Marc scanned the pages, and his chest tightened. The logic was wless, the innovation daring.


    For a moment, he couldn’t find words. Then, unable to contain his emotions, he pulled her into a sudden embrace. His voice trembled, raw with admiration. “Stel… you’re incredible. This… this hasn’t been explored much yet, but it has enormous potential. Thank you.”
