At that moment, many of the heiresses and socialites in the room looked at Ste


    with envy.


    One whispered to her friend, "Even though Ste was gone for so many years, she''se back as the absolute family darling! She got ten percent of the Williams shares, she has her mother''s original stock, and now the Camerons are giving her ten percent too. I don''t think any other heiress in our circle has that kind of


    treatment, right?"


    "And look at Aurora. She seems so morous, growing up in the Williams family, but she never even worked at The Williams Group. It wasn''t until Ste came back that she managed to ride her coattails into a position there. It seems the Williams family doesn''t really value Aurora that much."


    "Let''s be honest, Aurora is the Williamses'' ultimate pawn. They groomed her to be wless and aplished, but she''s just a political asset for a powerful marriage. If they weren''t afraid of looking biased, she wouldn''t even have that job at The Williams Group."


    "When you put it that way, Aurora''s situation is actually quite pitiful. Ste returns and is instantly the favorite, while Aurora just gets her leftovers."


    The murmurs in the crowd were a mix of envy and jealousy. What Ste now possessed wasparable to what Jonathan, the future heir, had.


    Hearing her name, Ste''s eyelid twitched involuntarily. The sudden announcement brought her no joy, only a sense of foreboding.


    Noticing her hesitation, Joshua leaned in. "Star, what is it?"


    "I don''t know," she whispered back. "The Camerons never mentioned this to me beforehand."


    Joshua''s dark eyes narrowed.


    The Williams family was clearly in the dark as well. Jonathan, seeing her standing still, prompted her, "Star, what are you waiting for? Go on up and thank your grandmother."


    He didn''t think much of the Cameron shares, but for a self-serving family like them to willingly give them to Ste, it showed they had some genuine feelings for her.


    After a few seconds, Ste started toward the stage.


    "Star," Joshua called out suddenly.


    She looked back at him.


    "Be careful," he said.


    Ste nodded.


    Soon, she was standing beside old Mrs. Cameron, who took her hand with a smile


    that was the very picture of grandmotherly affection.


    "Star, you''ve suffered so much all these years," she said, before picking up a document from a nearby tray "Star, this is the share transfer agreement for the Cameron Group. Once you sign this, ten percent of


    percent of


    thepany''s shares will belong to you."


    Old Mrs. Cameron sighed. "I owe you and your mother so much. Now that Nora is gone, please ept this as my way of making amends to you both."


    A butler offered Ste a pen.


    Ste nced at the contract. It was indeed a share transfer agreement. The camera operator even projected its contents onto therge screen behind them, ensuring every guest could see this was a genuine gift, not just an empty gesture


    Ste looked at the beaming old Mrs. Cameron and took the pen from the butler Wer expression was perfectly calm, revealing nothing of her thoughts.


    Just as she epted the pen, a sharp female voice cut through the room.


    "Ste is not a Cameron, and she''s certainly not a Williams!"
