Joshua replied, "Send a few guys to keep an eye on her. I have a strange feeling about this woman. If she makes any unusual moves, report to me immediately."

Seeing that Joshua didn't ask about Sellers again, Harold breathed a sigh of relief. Sellers's life should be safe for now.

...

Although Joshua often resolved the messy external disputes for Stella, he rarely stepped in personally for business collaborations. He usually let Stella handle them herself.

When Stella was still a rookie and had questions, she would consult Joshua, and he would give her guidance and insights for her to refine.

Joshua was an excellent mentor. He wouldn't deliberately suppress or criticize, nor would he overly praise her, which was very friendly for a pure novice like Stella.

The fact that Joshua personally worked on a project proposal showed how important it was.

Sitting in her office at The Williams Group, Stella carefully reviewed the document in front of her, remaining silent for a long time.

Seeing her prolonged silence, Abby Murphy asked cautiously, "Star, is there a problem with this project proposal Joshua gave you?"

Stella shook her head, "No, it's absolutely perfect. He accounted for almost everything I could think of, and even many details I missed."

Pausing for a moment, she added, "Joshua is truly incredible. This is the most flawless proposal I've seen since I started working."

Hearing this, Abby wasn't surprised at all. Since she met Joshua, he had always been omnipotent.

Abby asked curiously, "Why did he do it himself? Is there something special about this proposal?"

Stella gave a slight nod. "Yes, it's very important. The Chapman family is currently in trouble, and Joshua's intention is to use Aurora's marriage to the Chapmans to bind our companies together while securing a dominant position.

"But The Chapman Group is, after all, a family with strength comparable to The Williams Group. If the terms are too harsh they might rather take a loss than enter a deep partnership. Therefore, striking the right balance is crucial. He also had to factor in various external elements..."

Stella closed the file and looked up at Abby.

"He stepped in personally because he didn't want me to get the short end of the stick."

Stella had come to The Williams Group today to hold a shareholders' meeting. Such a critical partnership required unanimous approval from the board.

Of course, the Williams shareholders were old foxes; they had no reason to oppose a deal that gave them the upper hand.

Because Stella was working, Joshua hadn't disturbed her in her office. Instead, he had retreated to his old office.

Hearing that Joshua was back by Stella's side, Abby was the happiest of all.

Abby laughed, "With Joshua here, I can finally slack off."

But Stella sighed, her face lacking any joy.

Abby asked, "Star, what's wrong? Are you unhappy?"

Stella recounted how she had suspected Joshua and sneaked into his study a couple of days ago.

Guilt lacing her voice, she said, "I was doubting him, but he was

wholeheartedly looking out for net

I feel like I've wronged him. It's just a very conflicting feeling."

Rubbing her temples, she continued.

"It feels like he's different from

before. He says a lot of things het

never would have said in the past Sometimes I'm even a little scared of him."
