If Queenie Burton and Jonathan Williams had successfully had their child, Skyler and the Burton family would have done the exact same thing.
Unfortunately, Queenie couldn't see the bigger picture, which was why she had squandered all her leverage.
As for Keen O'Brien, he wasn't the product of a strategic union, and Haynes O'Brien wasn't the Williams family's ideal candidate for marriage either.
The fact that Skyler had been willing to offer terms in exchange was already a sign of his fondness and approval of Keen.
After all, obtaining shares was no easy feat. It required the approval of the entire family.
Eloping and forcing the family's hand after the fact didn't count.
It was laughable that Queenie had tried to use this to provoke her.
Just then, McCoy Chapman's voice rang out again.
"My wife, Aurora, went through hell and back to give birth to this child.
To show my gratitude, I will also be giving Aurora three percent of the shares in The Chapman Group."
The room erupted into applause.
Stella sighed inwardly. McCoy really was a phenomenal man.
What a pity.
After that, Lauretta Chapman, acting as McCoy's biological sister, stepped up with Antoney Watson to present a massive trust fund as their gift.
Next were Jonathan and Coleman Williams.
Since Israel Williams couldn't attend, Coleman presented a gift on his behalf.
They were all immediate family, so naturally, their gifts were far more substantial than anyone else's. With so many guests watching, they couldn't afford to look cheap.
When it was Stella's turn, Queenie couldn't resist making a snide comment.
"There are a lot of eyes on you right now, Stella. Don't embarrass the Williams family by giving something pathetic!"
Although only relatives and exceptionally close associates were invited today, there was still a massive turnout.

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....
Can’t wait to see what joshua will do...
Why would the author of this book do that to Stella? Such cruelty!...
So many chapters are incomplete. Missing pages. Hard to get continuity...
