"The only reason we didn't sever ties earlier was because the Burton Group was irreplaceable. As for now…" Old Mr. St. John looked at Sellers with a knowing smile. "Thankfully, the elder Mr. Burton is not a man driven solely by profit like you. In the end, he left us a way out."
By the time Sellers left Old Mr. St. John's residence, his face was a mask of chilling fury.
He spat out a single sentence through clenched teeth, "You have some nerve, Stella, stealing the Burton family's resources from right under my nose!"
…
The next day, an unwelcome guest arrived at Stella's office.
Stella showed no surprise at the sight of Sellers.
"It's a rare honor to have you here, Mr. Burton. Would you prefer coffee or tea?"
Sellers stared at her, his eyes burning with intensity. "You're the one who poached my partners, aren't you?"
Stella gave him an odd look. "Mr. Burton, you've been in business long enough. You should understand the concept of fair competition."
Sellers laughed as if he'd heard a joke. "Fair competition? You sneak around behind my back, sabotaging everything I've built, and now you have the nerve to talk to me about fair competition?"
Stella smiled faintly. "I don't have the deep pockets of the Gardner Group to pay off exorbitant contract termination fees. Mr. Burton, since you've come to me, you should already know that I couldn't have poached those people even if I had wanted to. Many of them were willing to pay the penalties themselves just to break ties with the Burton Group. What does that tell you? It tells me that under your leadership, the Burton Group has become deeply unpopular."
