The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance

"Those three sons of yours-when everything's calm, they seem impressive enough. But the moment something actually happens, it's painfully obvious that they can't handle a crisis to save their lives.

No matter what their reasons were, the first priority should've been to keep Stella on their side-not to provoke her and make things worse."

"Looks like the Williams brothers have a lot of growing up to do. The Williams Group shouldn't be handed over to them too soon."

The room hummed with quiet discussion, each person voicing their opinion in turn.

No one came out and said it directly, but the implication was clear: Jonathan and his brothers simply weren't up to the job.

Their faces had turned ashen.

Once the dust settled, all three realized Stella had played them for fools.

She must have steered the conversation on purpose, setting them up to damage their own reputations.

Just then, another voice cut in. "If you ask me, that Stella isn't exactly innocent either. She aired the family's dirty laundry in public, dragging the Williams Group's name through the mud. That's just vicious."

One of Nora's supporters let out a cold laugh. "What choice did she have? How desperate do you think someone has to be to go to such lengths? Leonard didn't just have her kidnapped-he ruined her hand. And as for Skyler and his son, they cared more about a quick profit than standing up for their own daughter. Instead, they tried to swindle her out of her shares.

Even the calmest person can only put up with so much. Did you really think Stella would just sit there, waiting to be pushed around?

She's Nora's daughter-she hasn't brought shame to her mother at all."

He glanced pointedly at Skyler.

"It takes someone with that kind of backbone to run a company."

At that, the Williams brothers' expressions changed again.

The man went on, "So, Skyler, when are you bringing Stella into the company? She holds ten percent of the original shares-she's one of the key decision- makers. She deserves a seat at this table, same as the rest of us."

Skyler knew there was no stopping Stella from joining the company now.

He replied, "Stella is currently learning the ropes-taking some business courses.noveldrama

She should be ready to join the Williams Group by the end of the month."

The shareholders supporting Nora finally looked a little mollified.

Then Skyler added, "Stella's my daughter, and so is Aurora. Jonathan and his brothers are already working at the Williams Group Stella's about to join, so

think it's only fair for Aurora to get some experience here as well."

He hadn't even finished his sentence before the shareholders backing Nora cut

him off sharply.

"No way!"

"That woman absolutely cannot join the Williams Group!"

"I won't allow it!"

Skyler pressed on. "All these years, everyone here has enjoyed generous dividends thanks to Aurora. You all know it. This time, my reluctance to cut ties with the Lerman family was for everyone's benefit.

As for that partnership, I took Stella's advice and made a public

statement. But if you refuse to let Aurora join the company, then all the deals made because of her

ve

connections should be nullified.

Otherwise, how can I explain that to

Aurora and the other prominent families?"

After the meeting, the shareholders who supported Nora looked grim.

In the end, Skyler's proposal went to a vote, with the majority winning out.

Except for Nora's supporters, nearly everyone else approved letting Aurora into the Williams Group.

Only then did it dawn on them: all these years, Skyler had kept Aurora out of the company not to exclude her, but to pave the way for this very moment.

Now that everything was in place, it was finally time for Aurora to step into the Williams Group.
