The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance novel Chapter 1486

Israel hesitated. It was true. Trading his ten percent of common stock for Stella's ten percent of founding shares wasn't just a fair deal; it was a massive win for him.

Perhaps because he'd suffered so many losses at Stella's hands before, he found himself inexplicably hesitant. He eyed Joshua warily. "Your word doesn't count. Stella has to agree to it."

As soon as he finished speaking, Stella's voice followed. "I can do that."

Israel studied her expression closely but found nothing out of the ordinary. Still, he wasn't one to be easily taken in. "You said this yourself, in front of all the shareholders. No one forced you. Don't come back later saying I pressured you into it and that the transfer isn't valid."

Stella nodded. "OK."

Israel still felt it wasn't secure enough. "In that case, state for everyone to hear that you are voluntarily transferring and selling the shares to me. That way, everyone here is a witness. You have no objection to that, do you?"

He was *buying* the shares; there would be a solid transaction record. With so many witnesses, it would be impossible for Stella to renege. At this moment, Israel was actually grateful Joshua had brought it up. Otherwise, knowing Stella's cunning and shamelessness, she might have backed out at the last minute. Now, with a transaction record and so many people watching, it wouldn't be so easy for her to go back on her word.

Stella nodded again. "No objections."

Israel thought for a moment, then addressed the camera. "Everyone saw that, right? Stella is doing this of her own free will. I did not threaten her. She had a choice between two options, and she could have chosen the shares. But she didn't. Since she gave them up herself, she can't blame anyone else."

At Israel's request, Stella quickly made a statement confirming that she was voluntarily selling the shares to him.
