The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance novel Chapter 970

He handed Stella a folder. “This contract is a personal gift from me to you. The moment you sign it, it takes effect.”

Almost on instinct, Stella reached out and took it from him.

She opened the folder and looked over the contract’s terms.

Even though she wasn’t well-versed in business documents, it was obvious—this was nothing short of a golden ticket.

The Burton Group was growing at an astonishing pace, branching out into all sorts of industries and ventures. Still, its core business remained in healthcare.

Hospitals, pharmaceuticals, medical equipment, biotech research—these were just some of the areas under its vast umbrella.

As the saying goes, no treasure or luxury can compare to the value of a human life.

With The Burton Group controlling nearly sixty percent of the world’s medical resources, its sheer scale was staggering.

The Burton family was large, with no shortage of talented descendants. Thanks to Mr. Burton’s influence, most had followed his footsteps into the world of medical research.

That, more than anything, was the reason for the family’s enduring power.

After the passing of the late Mrs. Burton, Mr. Burton stepped down from his position at The Burton Group, relinquishing control. But even so, he still held sway over some of the most crucial resources within the company.

Resources even someone like Sellers would envy.

And now, Mr. Burton was placing those resources directly into Stella’s hands.

This was worth more than any sum of money.

“Stella, you’ve made your decision to join the company. That means you’ll need a powerful supporter, too. As your mentor, I might not be able to give you as much as Skyler can, but I can at least offer you this.”

Stella felt her eyes sting. She no longer tried to refuse. Instead, she accepted the contract from Mr. Burton with both hands, her expression solemn.

“Thank you, Mr. Burton.”

He smiled, clearly pleased.

Just then, the hospital room door crashed open.

Karl stormed in, his expression dark and stormy.

“Grandfather! Sellers has been missing for a month, and I know it’s because of her! She’s the one who kidnapped Sellers!”
