The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance novel Chapter 1494

Stella's shares could not be frozen under any circumstances. A freeze would mean all of Sellers' efforts were for nothing, and Israel's shares would have been gifted to Stella for free.

With that much stock, Stella would instantly become the largest shareholder in The Williams Group! In such a short time, she would already be a direct threat to Jonathan's position as the future heir.

Jonathan, Coleman, and Aurora had quickly understood the deeper implications. Only Israel, blinded by rage, remained oblivious.

He glared at the three of them. "What do you mean by that? Are you trying to protect Stella?! I'm telling you, if you think I'm just going to let this go, you're dreaming!"

Seeing Israel's state, Coleman knew that nothing they said would get through to him. He might even say something worse that Joshua could use against them. Coleman shot Jonathan a look. Jonathan understood and said, "The situation is still unclear. We'll discuss this later."

With that, the two of them practically pushed Israel out of the office. Aurora gave Stella one last cold glance before turning to leave as well.

The shareholders who had once supported Skyler now looked at him with a hint of dissatisfaction, though they weren't ready to burn their bridges with him over such a minor incident. They too filed out of the office.

Skyler looked at Stella, seemingly wanting to say something, but in the end, he just heaved a long sigh and left.

Finally, only Nora's supporters remained in Stella's office.

Zane patted Stella's shoulder with a pleased expression. "Well done. Your methods are far more effective than Nora's. This is exactly how you should handle things. Back then, Nora let her emotions get the best of her, which allowed Skyler to strip her of her power step by step. Star, you did very well."

President Crawford burst into a hearty laugh. "Excellent, excellent! You almost had me fooled too. Getting those shares from Israel for free… the thought alone is immensely satisfying. Skyler did the same thing to Nora, tricking her out of her shares without paying a cent. The tables have turned. Let him have a taste of his own medicine."
