The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance novel Chapter 1081

“Why does she seem even more impressive than Aurora? Her proposal is miles ahead of Aurora’s, too.”

“That’s obvious—she must have inherited Nora’s talent. Remember Nora back in the day? Thrown into the deep end at the worst possible moment, with everyone just waiting for her to fail? But she turned out to be a venture capital genius. She didn’t bother with the company’s messy day-to-day details—she left all that to capable managers. Her focus was on reviving The Williams Group, keeping the big picture intact.”

Every pair of eyes in the room landed on Stella, their gazes suddenly burning with newfound interest.

The Williams Group was now split into three factions: Skyler’s supporters, Nora’s loyalists, and the neutrals. Skyler’s camp and Nora’s were at odds—ever since Nora left the company, the tension between the two sides had never truly faded. The neutrals, meanwhile, kept their heads down and sided with whoever best served the company’s interests.

That’s why, in the previous vote, because Aurora’s side had shared plenty of benefits over the years, the neutrals had agreed to let her join The Williams Group. Now, seeing Stella’s extraordinary performance, they couldn’t help but think of Nora. Regret simmered just beneath the surface—why had they hesitated back then, missing out on a fortune?

If Stella had even half of Nora’s foresight and brilliance, they weren’t about to miss their chance this time.

Hugo and Aherne exchanged a glance, both reading the same unspoken thought in each other’s eyes.

But Israel and Coleman, watching Stella so effortlessly capture the crowd’s support and attention, looked positively sour.

Israel’s voice cut through the room, cold and accusing. “I don’t buy it. There’s no way a total novice with zero business background could come up with a flawless proposal like that. I suspect Stella cheated. There’s no chance she did this on her own!”
