The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance

Antoney said, "The original shares were set aside long before you were born. When your mentor left the Williams family, that ten percent was put under lock and key.

He told me that back then, when he helped your father hold the company together, he sealed the original shares for thirty years to prevent any infighting.

At the end of this year, the restriction will be lifted.

Seeing Stella lost in thought, Antoney gently asked, "Star, what do you think about all this?"

Stella replied without hesitation, "If it's something my mother left for me alone, there's no way I'd ever give it up."

Relief washed over Antoney. "I was worried you might give up your shares for your music career."
