Chapter 608

Chapter 608:
Her words echoed through the office like a slap. Marc’s face turned pale.
She stepped out and pressed the elevator button.
Behind her, Nikolai glanced at Marc, then shook his head. “I’m heading back too, Marc. Take care.” He walked out without another word.
Nikolai had originally been brought in by Alonzo. Now that the plan had failed, Marc was like a discarded pawn, and Nikolai had no reason to stay any longer.
Marc was left sitting alone in the office, the lights humming softly overhead. He let out a bitter laugh. In the end, he had just been a pawn too.
Outside the building, Nikolai caught up to Stella. “Ms. Gilbert, you’re seriously something else. Even I’m impressed.”
Stella just smiled at him. She offered a polite thanks before slipping into the waiting car.
Inside, she met William’s eyes—and he was clearly in a good mood.
A faint smile tugged at the corners of his lips, one he wasn’t even trying to hide. Stella pulled a small recorder from her pocket and handed it to him.
It was the same one that had transmitted everything she said to him earlier, word for word. He had heard it all—how she called him more than just her boss.
How she said he was a friend. And even when Marc pushed her, she didn’t back away. She defended William, without hesitation. That made his smile grow wider.
As the car cruised down the road, he handed her a document. “This is for you. Take a look.”
Stella raised a brow and opened it. Her eyes widened. It was a stock transfer agreement.
She looked up in disbelief. “You’re giving me thirty percent of Nebula’s shares?”
William had always held forty percent of Nebula. Before now, Stella only had ten percent—just enough to get a seat at the table, but nowhere near enough to influence anything.
But now, with the thirty percent William was handing over, that gave her a total of forty percent—more than anyone else. She was officially the largest shareholder in the company.
Which meant one thing—Nebula Group was hers now.

William nodded calmly. “Nebula has flourished under your leadership. I’ve seen how much effort you’ve put into it. I trust you with it.”
Nebula was just a small piece of his vast empire, so handing it over wouldn’t affect him.
What mattered more was that Stella genuinely cared about the company—she treated it like her own and worked tirelessly to grow it. So why not make her dream a reality?
“But…” Stella was caught off guard by the joy that hit her like a wave. She didn’t even know how to react.
He had handed her the company—just like that.
She stared at the contract, overwhelmed. How was she supposed to express her gratitude for something this big?
William glanced over at her with a raised brow, teasing lightly. “What? You don’t want it?”
Stella clutched the contract a little tighter, still reeling. “It’s not that… I’m just surprised.”
