The others looked at him, puzzled. "Mr. Watson, how would you know that?"


    Mr. Watson sneered. "The moment I saw that news, I had someone look into that pretty boy and check his whereabouts. With our corporate secrets being leaked, it''s highly likely this mysterious pretty boy is the culprit!"


    Mr. Watson was a man of action. He''d known about Ste''s unusual rtionship with Joshua before but hadn''t paid it much mind.


    Ste had been married and had a child. Now divorced, it wasn''t a huge deal if she wanted to keep a young lover. After all, plenty of female CEOs in their circle did the same.


    It was just background noise before, as long as her work was untouched.


    But things were different now.


    Thepany''s secrets were leaked, contracts were canceled, and market value had evaporated. This was seriously damaging thepany''s interests. It didn''t matter if they were just lovers; even if they were married, if it hurt thepany, the rtionship had to end!


    Hearing Mr. Watson''s words, the others were skeptical but intrigued. One of them immediately took out his phone and sent someone to follow Ste and see what she was up to.


    Before long, the news came back. Just as Mr. Watson had said, Ste had gone to the hospital to see Joshua.


    Upon learning this, the shareholders who were already displeased with Ste became even angrier.


    "How could Ste be so foolishtely? She can''t prioritize. Has that pretty boypletely brainwashed her?!"


    "Her decisions are failing, there''s a mole in thepany, and instead of fixing it, she''s obsessing over some romance like a silly girl. It''s mindless!"


    "Mr. Watson is right. She''s with that pretty boy day in and day out, even living with him. He''s the most likely person to have stolen thepany''s secrets! He''s probably a spy sent by apetitor!"


    "I said it before, we should do


    another paternity test to see if she''s really a Williams. Look at her now! Ever since that ''fake heiress'' story broke has she been as dedicated as before? Maybe she really isnt part of the family!"


    "If that''s the case, maybe she''s the one who leaked the secrets... Maybe she ns


    to run off with the money and split the profits with thepetition after the Williams Group copses!"


    One by one, the shareholders voiced their suspicions, their dissatisfaction with Ste reaching a boiling point.


    Aurora watched the chaos unfold, her longshes hiding the glint in her eyes.


    Just then, Israel Williams spoke up


    with a coldugh. "All of you, so eager to support a woman who knows nothing about business just to serve your own interests. Well, look where it''s gotten you. Thepany is on the verge of ruin because of her. I can''t wait to see how the Williams Group finally, copses at the hands of its supposed supporters! If thispany goes bankrupt, not a single one of you will be meless!"


    The room fell silent.


    Mr. Watson added, "Maybe she isn''t Skyler''s daughter at all. Why would an outsider be loyal to the Williams Group? She''s probably already found her real parents and is plotting with them to steal everything we have!"


    In the past, no one would have believed such usations. Buttely, too many things had gone wrong, and all of them were connected to Ste. Now, at such a critical moment, she was prioritizing her love life.


    Even setting aside the question of betrayal, her recent conduct has been deeply disappointing.
