Stella wasn't entirely convinced. "Is that what happened?"
"Yes. I have no reason to lie to you."
Joshua walked over to Stella and gently pulled her into an embrace before changing the subject. "What was the outcome of today's meeting?"
Stella replied, "The shareholders have unanimously voted to remove Aurora from The Williams Group. It won't be easy for her to come back now."
Joshua nodded slightly. "She's basically no longer a threat to you."
Stella looked at him. "Did you plan everything that happened at Aurora's engagement party? And… did you arrange for the Fordham brothers to be there?"
"I only let them know that Aurora was getting married," Joshua said. "What they would do if they came, and what would happen after they arrived, was not part of my plan. I had no idea what cards they were holding. To be honest, I was just taking a shortcut. I never expected it to be so effective."
He had to admit, the Fordham brothers were ruthless.
"Joshua," Stella said, "thank you for doing so much for me."
But Joshua replied, "You don't have to thank me, Star. I didn't just do it for you; I did it for myself. Anyone who stands in our way should be eliminated. Next, it's Sellers's turn."
At the mention of Sellers, a flicker of hesitation crossed Stella's face.
"But, what about Mr. Burton…"
Joshua took her hand. "Don't worry about Mr. Burton. I won't put you in a difficult position."
Sensing her concern, he added, "Besides, I'm still setting things up. We'll need to wait a little longer."
Stella wanted to ask what his plan was, but she held her tongue.
They chatted for a few more minutes before Stella's phone rang. She still had some work to do, so after letting Joshua know, she went back to her study.

The same rotation blaming Stella trying to get her destroyed. Isn't the writer tired of writing the same foolishness overand over again? This is exhausting....
