The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance

Chapter 643

Jonathan's heart ached so badly it felt as if it were bleeding.

He'd always cherished talented people, and he'd watched Aurora grow up from a child. He knew exactly how gifted she was.

Even though Aurora wasn't his biological sister, she had always been considerate and sensible. She never asked for more than what was hers- in fact, she often gave her own things to others.

She was brilliant, hardworking, and ambitious-a prodigy from the very beginning.

Yet despite her intelligence, despite being the eldest daughter of the Williams family, Aurora had never enjoyed a day of luxury.

Jonathan had never been one to favor sons over daughters. As the next in line to inherit the company, he valued ability above all else.

Watching Aurora, with all her remarkable gifts, choose to study music instead of business felt like such a waste.

He had always wondered why Skyler had insisted so stubbornly that Aurora pursue music.

Thinking of this, Jonathan asked, "So those old codgers threatened to withhold their shares unless Aurora stayed out of Williams Group, is that right?"

Skyler nodded. "I managed to buy back ten percent of the original shares from them, but that was the condition they set for the sale. And as for the remaining ten percent, they absolutely refuse to let go."
