"We should just introduce her to a few good men. I guarantee she''ll be so busy falling in love, she won''t have time to stir up trouble at thepany anymore."


    Coleman''s frown eased a little. "I''ve heard rumors that Haynes is considering getting back together with her. And then there''s Neville-he''s been around Ste, but she doesn''t seem impressed with him either.


    Honestly, with standards as high as hers, it''s not going to be easy to find someone more eligible than Haynes or Neville."


    Haynes might be a disaster in rtionships, but in terms of looks, status, and professional ability, he was one of the most sought-after bachelors in their social circle. If anything, his family background was a bitckingpared to the true elite, but that was hardly a w.


    The same was true for Neville.


    Coleman went on, "If Ste isn''t interested in either of those two, does she really expect to marry someone on the level of a family patriarch? If she''d only been divorced, maybe that would be possible. But she has a five-year-old child. A divorced woman with a child, dreaming of marrying the head of a family—it''s pure fantasy, isn''t it?"


    The room fell silent.


    Someone like Aurora, the perfect socialite, would be a fitting match for a family head. Ste didn''t measure up to Aurora in any way, and she''d already been married. How could she even dare to set her sights so high?


    Just then, Aurora spoke up, breaking the silence. "We''re just making introductions. There''s no guarantee anything wille of it. Who knows, if Ste finds someone she likes, maybe she''ll even make the first move. Besides, dating doesn''t have to lead to marriage."


    Her words sparked inspiration around the table.


    Right, as long as Ste''s attention was diverted, did it really matter if anything serious developed? If she got swept up in romance, she''d probably spend all her time obsessing over it.

    After a long pause, Skyler finally said, "Here''s what we''ll do. When Star returns for the Williams family''s wee g, let''s make it a grand affair We''ll invite plenty of promising young men and let her choose for herself. She''s been away for years; there''s no need to force her into a marriage arrangement. Whether she wants to date, marry, or stay single, it''s her choice. When shees back, I want all of you to treat her kindly. As for the family shares, there''s no rush. We''re all family, after all."


    Coleman looked at Skyler. "It''s not a bad idea to let Ste join the Williams Group.


    Those old-timers are always harping on tradition-let''s show them just how ill-


    suited their chosen one really is."


    Israel''s eyes shed with disdain.


    "I''d like to see what they expect from a housewife who can''t even read a business document. Are they hoping to revive our mother''s former glory? As if she has Mom''s capabilities. Remember, Mom spent a whole year as Dad''s assistant before she made her mark."


    Coleman snorted. "All thepany documents are in foreignnguages-she probably won''t understand a word. Aurora, on the other hand, is fluent in several."


    Jonathan listened, rubbing his aching temples. He''d only


    f.n


    considered that Ste wouldn''t have a head for business. He''d nearly forgotten that thepany''s paperwork was all in foreignonguages. Even with trantors, you still needed to be fluent yourself.


    He exhaled, resigned. "Forget it. Once she joins thepany and realizes she can''t run the ce on musical talent alone, I bet she''ll give up soon enough."


    Time flew by, and the day of the family reunion g arrived.
