Chapter 374
He Never Noticed Me Until I Loved Someone Else novel Chapter 374
“Stella, I’m… I’m so sorry…” George struggled to speak, his words choked and barely legible.
Stella still held a lot of resentment toward him, but seeing the once-commanding man reduced to this aged, fragile state brought an inevitable pang of pity to her heart.
“What do you want me to do?” she asked.
George explained that he was going to summon his lawyer to transfer all of his shares—along with Simeon’s—directly to her. He wanted her to take over The Quinn Group and salvage it.
Although Jarrod had sent people to resolve The Quinn Group’s immediate crisis, he announced his divorce from Stella the very next day. Those opportunistic shareholders no longer had faith in the company and would undoubtedly cause more trouble down the line.
George knew that Sylvia was entirely unequipped to handle the fallout, and he refused to watch his life’s work turn to ashes.
Stella, equally unwilling to see her mother’s legacy destroyed, agreed to George’s proposal. However, her one absolute condition was that the SD project had to be completely carved out and placed under her sole ownership. George didn’t object.
While Simeon wasn’t thrilled with the arrangement, he had zero desire to waste his energy on corporate warfare. He signed the necessary paperwork and promptly fled Royal Oaks to return to his academic research.
Given Stella’s proven track record with the SD project, combined with George’s explicit endorsement and the backing of several key shareholders, she managed to bulldoze past Sylvia and take temporary control of The Quinn Group.
The process of splitting SD from the main company went incredibly smoothly with George’s stamp of approval. Stella aggressively navigated the bureaucratic red tape, and within record time, SD was legally severed from The Quinn Group, becoming entirely her own asset.
During this entire ordeal, Stella never crossed paths with Jarrod. Julian did drop by once to inform her that Jarrod was still locked in a vicious power struggle with his uncle, Silas. To keep Yvette out of Silas’s crosshairs, Jarrod had moved her into The Fuller Group as his personal secretary.
