The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance novel Chapter 2076

Everyone in the audience had their eyes fixed on Stella.

Many, like Queenie, glared with sheer malice.

Seeing the growing misunderstanding, the host broke into a sweat and hurriedly explained.

"No, no, there's absolutely no problem with Ms. Cameron's gift."

Not daring to delay any longer, he quickly announced Stella's present.

"Ms. Cameron is gifting one percent of The Williams Group's shares to Miss Shay."

In an instant, all the whispering in the crowd vanished.

Looks of utter disbelief washed over everyone's faces.

"One percent of The Williams Group... That's a massive move! Even Skyler, her biological grandfather, only gave three percent!"

"Not even Aurora's own brothers were willing to part with shares. Stella really stepped up as an aunt."

"Didn't they say Stella and Aurora had a terrible relationship? This seems fine to me. If they hated each other, would she really give away shares?"

Queenie stared in absolute shock.

Stella gave Aurora's daughter shares?

How was that possible?!

Given their toxic history, it would have been generous for Stella to just gift a piece of real estate.

But shares?

Queenie had been waiting to mock Stella for a pathetic gift.

Instead, Stella had completely blindsided her.

So, when Stella said she prepared a huge surprise for Aurora, she actually meant it?

Skyler and the Chapmans were stunned for several seconds.

When McCoy finally recovered, he looked at Stella with profound gratitude.

"Ms. Cameron, thank you for giving Shay such a priceless gift."

Mr. and Mrs. Chapman echoed his thanks.

Although both families had given Shay shares, they were her direct relatives.

Her grandparents.

Stella was just her aunt, a step removed.

Unlike Aurora, who had an image to maintain as a high-society lady, Zara didn't care about propriety.

She just did whatever she wanted.

Though Zara's methods were crude and direct, managing to inflict physical and emotional damage on Aurora, she was still no match for Aurora's cunning.

As a result of their constant clashes, McCoy had grown to utterly despise Zara.

In many instances, Zara had been the one to start the senseless drama, making it hard for even Mr. and Mrs. Chapman, who had once adored her, to take her side.

Though they disliked Aurora, they weren't stupid.

Continuing to indulge Zara would only lead to a massive disaster.

The Chapman family wouldn't know a day of peace.

Consequently, Mr. and Mrs. Chapman had gradually distanced themselves from Zara and the Lowell family.

Zara causing Aurora's premature labor, which left her unable to have more children, was a colossal catastrophe.

In the end, the Lowell family had to cash in decades of friendship, begging Mr. and Mrs. Chapman for mercy to smooth things over.

Otherwise, even if the Chapmans let it go, the Williams family never would have let Zara off the hook so easily.

Seeing Zara crash his daughter's birthday party, McCoy's face turned grim.
