The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance novel Chapter 644

He always thought that even if Nora resented him, even if she refused to leave him any shares, she would at least divide them equally among her own children.

But to his shock, she hadn’t left so much as a penny’s worth of shares to Jonathan or his two brothers.

Jonathan said, “I’ll find a way to persuade Stella to give up her original shares and accept regular stock instead.”

At present, Aurora only held regular shares as well.

Skyler had already converted all the Williams Group’s original shares into common stock. The times had changed; he no longer wanted other shareholders to have a say in the company’s decisions.

Skyler considered this for a moment, then nodded.

“Jonathan, I’ll leave this to you.”

…

The next morning.

As soon as Stella walked into the studio, Abby and the others swarmed around her.

“Star, I heard you were in a car accident! What happened? Was it because you haven’t driven in a while?”

Stella explained the whole story, laying out everything that had happened.

Abby clenched her fists in anger after hearing it. “That scumbag Sellers—what a piece of work! He’s even worse than Jasper!”

Jasper was all bark and no bite; he might try to stir up trouble now and then, maybe spread a few nasty rumors. But Sellers? Sellers had actually tried to kill Stella.

Candida glanced Stella up and down. “Star, are you hurt?”

Stella looked at her swollen wrist. “It’s just a little puffy—nothing broken, though. I’ll be fine.”

Just then, Joshua, who’d been silent until now, finally spoke up. “Ms. Cameron, you said Sellers’ brakes suddenly failed. Did anyone figure out why?”

Stella turned to Joshua, surprised at how sharp he was.

“Sellers claims it was sabotage,” she replied, “but the specifics aren’t clear yet.”

Haynes and Neville were already investigating, but she doubted they’d turn up anything quickly.
