chapter1787

"But he has a condition," Aurora added.

Sellers asked, "What condition?"

"Stella must not be harmed."

Sellers and Aurora exchanged a look, sharing a knowing smile. Whether Stella was harmed or not would depend on whether she knew what was good for her.

Sellers had his connection to Mr. Burton, and Aurora had her familial ties to Stella. They weren't like Leonard, who resorted to violence. Sellers and Aurora preferred to outsmart their opponents.

Aurora said, "Foreman probably underestimated me when he agreed to cooperate. That's fine; it will make him let his guard down. We need him for intelligence right now, so we can't afford to make an enemy of him yet."

Aurora was reminding Sellers not to let his past kidnapping by Foreman jeopardize their larger goal.

Sellers replied coolly, "Don't worry, I know how to handle it."

Aurora added, "Sellers, it's best if not too many people know about this plan for now. It should stay between you and me."

Sellers nodded.

Aurora needed an ally, and after much thought, she concluded that Sellers was the most suitable candidate. Stella had encroached on his medical resources, putting them in direct opposition. Stella had hurt Sellers's bottom line, and he wouldn't just let it go.

Unlike Leonard, Sellers might help her out of his affection for her, but he would never go all-in. He would always weigh the risks and stay within an acceptable range. But now, Stella had not only taken a piece of his pie but also stolen his resources and caused him a significant loss. He already saw her as a thorn in his side.

Therefore, Sellers would definitely cooperate with her and spare no effort to bring Stella down.

Aurora then said, "I've already had my father and brother call Stella over. I expect Joshua will come with her. We can test Joshua later and see what his condition is like."

Sellers looked at Aurora and suddenly remarked, "You've changed, Aurora."

Aurora smiled at him. "And do you think I've changed for the better or for the worse?"

Sellers chuckled. "For the better, of course. But what are your thoughts on Leonard giving Stella his shares? Back then, he only gave you three percent and that was becausen. affected your reputation. Even if he likes Stella and wants to

compensate her, he can't just give her nearly his entire fortune, can he? He never did that for you, even when he liked you the most."

Aurora's voice was flat, betraying no emotion. When Leonard liked me, he never gave his all. But for Stella, he's willing to hold nothing back. That just shows how formidable Stella truly is."

Sellers said, "It's a good thing Leonard is dead. Otherwise, we'd have almost no chance of winning But we need to act fast Once Stella takes control of Leonard's shares, she consolidate her power quickly, which will put us at an even greater disadvantage."

Aurora pressed her lips together, silent. A warning from Leonard echoed in her mind.

"I can give you a chance to get revenge on me, but you are not to touch Stella."

An hour later, Stella arrived.

From upstairs, Aurora saw that Joshua had indeed come with her.

Aurora glanced at Sellers. "Sellers, let's go."

Sellers also wanted to know what Joshua's current state was. He said, "Alright."

Everyone soon gathered in Skyler's study. However, without any evidence, even Aurora's eloquence couldn't pin the blame on Joshua.

This time, Joshua barely spoke, letting Stella do all the talking.
