chapter1862

In the end, after a unanimous decision by all shareholders of The Williams Group, Aurora was expelled from the company.

Her shares were reclaimed by Skyler.

However, to placate Aurora, Skyler left her with three percent of the shares, hoping to prevent any resentment from festering and causing her to do something irreversible.

But at the same time, she would no longer hold any real power and wouldn't even need to show up at The Williams Group, merely collecting dividends.

It seemed that the matter of Aurora was settled.

That evening, Skyler went to Aurora's room to tell her the news.

Aurora sat on the bed, hugging her knees. Her long hair veiled her face, making her expression unreadable.

When Skyler had come to see her yesterday, she had been in the same position, completely unresponsive to his words of comfort.

Skyler didn't blame her for the scandal she had caused. After all, she had been abducted and taken to the Triangle; she was a victim too.

Skyler said in a heavy tone, "I've come to see you with two pieces of news. First, the Chapman family has decided to call off the engagement with our family."

Aurora remained perfectly still, showing no reaction.

Skyler sighed silently and continued, "Aurora, the impact of this incident is just too great, and we can't suppress the news. So, the company has unanimously decided that you should take a break for a while..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Aurora's voice emerged from beneath her hair.

"What about the shares?"

Skyler said, "You'll retain three percent... Aurora, this is just a temporary measure. Once the storm passes, I'll find a way to bring you back. I'll also hold onto your other shares for you for now."

Although he said that, Aurora was no fool.

Leaving was easy, but getting back in would be next to impossible.

And Stella would never give her that chance.

Now that she had been kicked out of The Williams Group, it was practically a death sentence.

Her ambitions, her ideals, her aspirations they were all impossible to achieve now. Overnight, all the halos that people had placed upon her had shattered.

She had been pilloried in the court of public opinion, and from now on, wherever she went, she would be met with ridicule.

Aurora let out a sarcastic little laugh. "From Israel's shares being swindled, to my older brother falling into a coma, and finally to me being kicked out of The Williams Group... Father, can't you see who threat culprit is? If this continues, it won't just be me. You and The Williams Group will be damned beyond redemption. Are you still not prepared to drop the pretenses?"

Skyler was silent for a moment. He seemed to want to say something, but in the

end, all that came out was a heavy sigh.

In the past, the Williams family

hadn't wanted to have a falling out

with Stella out of consideration with Stella

for

blood ties and their public image, not wanting to face criticism from Nora Supporters or outsiders But if they had a falling out now, it would give Stella a legitimate reason to seize The Williams Group.

Over the past year, his side of the family had lost the trust of all the shareholders Stella, on the other hand, had performed brilliantly and showed immense potential

With Joshua backing her and the inheritance of Leonard's shares in six months, her

position in The Williams Group would be unshakable.

Skyler's feelings were complex.

There was the bitterness of impending defeat, but also a sliver of fatherly pride.

She was his daughter, after all.

She was the daughter Nora had raised.

Skyler gave Aurora one last, deep look, then turned and left.

After Skyler's departure, the room fell silent once more.

The surroundings were cold and desolate, as if forgotten by the entire world.

Aurora slowly lifted her head.

Overnight, she had become pale, haggard, and fragile.
