The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance novel Chapter 1504

There were two hospital rooms with angles that closely matched the painting.

One of them was the room Stella and Joshua were currently occupying.

Was it really a coincidence, or…

At that moment, Leonard was no longer sure.

…

With Aicken exposed and several moles among the shareholders identified, the stock dispute finally came to an end. Stella could at last breathe a sigh of relief.

Aicken was sent to prison for leaking trade secrets. Given the enormous sums involved, he was likely looking at a life sentence.

As for the other shareholders, they hadn't leaked anything themselves but had merely fanned the flames during the incident, so there wasn't much that could be done to them. But Stella didn't need to worry about that; Zane Vance and President Crawford would handle it.

After a period of struggle and negotiation, Israel accepted the four-percent share compensation and finally stopped causing trouble. However, he had no time for work these days, as he was too busy fighting nonstop with Violet Yancey. Whenever Stella was at the Williams family home, she could hear the sound of them throwing things.

As for the ten percent of shares Stella had acquired for free, the Williams family eventually gave up trying to get them back. Stella was actually quite impressed with her relatives' composure; they had let her get away with such a huge advantage without losing their minds. When Skyler and Jonathan Williams saw her, they could still speak to her normally.

Stella figured they probably believed that no matter how much she took now, they would find a way to get it back later. They likely saw the shares as being temporarily held in her custody, which explained their calm demeanor.

Joshua's contribution had been indispensable in turning the situation around so quickly. Just as Stella was turning over in her mind how to thank him, the phone on her desk vibrated softly.

She picked it up and saw a message from L.

"I was wondering, what was the creative inspiration for that sunset painting?"
