He suddenly remembered how cautious and slightly insecure Stella had looked when she first arrived at the Williams family many years ago. Back then, he hadn't paid her much mind.
He never expected that, just two years after her return, her standing in The Williams Group would become unshakable, even by him.
Everything he had once taken from Nora had come full circle, ending up right in Stella's hands.
...
A week later, having finalized all the project details, Stella sat down to negotiate with the Chapmans.
As expected, despite some hesitation, McCoy Chapman ultimately agreed to sign. Surviving the current crisis was the priority.
With the Williams and Chapman families now linked through marriage, their interests were tied together—they would rise or fall as one. If the Chapman stock crashed, the Williams family would take a hit too.
Although he was temporarily giving up dominance, he knew the Williams family wouldn't do anything detrimental to their shared interests.
Just as Stella and McCoy finished signing the contract, McCoy's phone rang.
"Mr. Chapman, it's a disaster! Miss Lowell and your wife just got into a fight. Miss Lowell pushed her to the floor..."
McCoy's expression changed instantly, and he shot up from his chair.
"Is she okay?"
"I think... I think she's fine?"
Hanging up the phone, McCoy was about to rush out when he remembered Stella was still in the office.

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....
