Israel watched Stella coldly and said self-righteously, "Stella, we are our mother's children too. A portion of the founding shares you hold should have been mine. But we're siblings, so as your older brothers, we didn't make a fuss about you hoarding them. But you should never, ever have let a man cloud your judgment and jeopardize the company's interests and everything our mother worked so hard to build for years.
No matter what, we're family. So, I'll give you a choice. The founding shares, or Joshua. You pick."
At some point, a sharp knife had appeared in Israel's hand.
The polished blade caught the sunlight from the window, flashing with a cold, sharp glint.
A malicious smile slowly spread across Israel's lips.
"Israel, what do you think you're doing?!" Stella demanded, her voice sharp.
Israel chuckled. "I know, asking you to kill someone is a bit much. But surely you can stab this traitor who stole our company's secrets a few times, right? Stella, if you choose the founding shares, take this knife and give him a few cuts to show your sincerity."
If Stella did it, any possibility between her and Joshua would be gone forever. Even if she managed to hold onto the founding shares for now, without Joshua's help behind the scenes, it would only be a matter of time before they chipped away at her holdings. It was even possible that, after being stabbed by Stella, Joshua might switch sides and help them!
At this thought, a flicker of excitement appeared in Israel's eyes.
"Now, it's time for you to choose. Is it his life, or the shares in your hand?"

The same rotation blaming Stella trying to get her destroyed. Isn't the writer tired of writing the same foolishness overand over again? This is exhausting....
