Aurora nodded, her expression free of any resentment or bitterness toward Stella.
“For now, that’s all we can do.”
She didn’t care that Stella had surpassed her in musical talent; music was never her true ambition.
Simone understood this well. For Aurora, the violin was just a pastime.
Her real focus lay on the Williams Group.
She asked, “How’s the situation with the original shares coming along?”
At the mention of this, a hint of heaviness clouded Aurora’s face.
“Not great. The group of founding shareholders at the company refuse to sell, no matter what we offer.”
Simone paused, lowering her voice. “Have you tried other methods?”
Aurora gave a slight nod. “Nothing’s worked. They’re stubborn to the core.
My brother says we can’t push too hard until Nora’s shares are unfrozen. If we force their hand and things fall apart, we’ll lose more than we gain.”
Simone’s eyes flickered. “Those frozen shares—all reserved for Stella. What if Stella refuses to give them up? There must be plenty of people at the Williams Group rooting for her to take over, right?”
Aurora replied, “Stella’s never studied business. Even if she joins the Williams Group, what could she really achieve? She’d just end up a puppet for the old guard.
Besides, her career as a violinist is soaring right now…”
She smiled faintly.
“If she can beat me in an official competition, I’m sure she’ll find that much more satisfying.”
Simone blinked in surprise. “Aurora, you—are you really okay with Stella beating you in public?”
Aurora shrugged. “Why wouldn’t I be?”
“But…”
Aurora could guess what was on her mind. “Simone, if you want to accomplish something big, you can’t get hung up on the little things. If you can’t swallow your pride now and then, you won’t get far.”
