The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance

Chapter 718

Mr. Burton didn't hold a huge share in the company, but it was nothing to scoff at either. In fact, the Burtons as a whole had more than most-there were plenty who didn't own a single share.

Take people like Sellers or Karl. Even if they had a handful of shares themselves, who would be happy watching their family's holdings land in the hands of an outsider?

Honestly, is there anyone in this world who'd say no to more money?

Jasper was taken aback.

He honestly hadn't thought that far ahead.

But then again, he understood-he'd never been willing to hand over a piece of the Wilkinson Group to his father's illegitimate children, let alone a stranger.

From their perspective, Stella was a gate-crasher, swooping in on their slice of cake. Was it really any wonder they didn't like her?

As for Haynes, he'd always had his own issues with the Burtons. Instinctively, he didn't trust them.

And now, here they were trespassing on his turf, and repeatedly targeting his wife. It was clear they didn't take him seriously at all.

Haynes fixed his gaze on Stella. "So, how do you want to handle this?"

Stella replied coolly, "It's already taken care of. No need for you to worry."
