I Own Twenty Percent of My Ex Husband’s Company Chapter 122 — Forced Proximity
The general counsel called Elara two days after her vote. He explained that because Vale Capital held such a significant stake, they wanted her personally involved in the ongoing strategy discussions. Her perspective was considered valuable as the defense against Harrington continued to solidify.She agreed, understanding that her involvement was necessary. Though, part of her felt uneasy about having to sit across from Kael regularly over the coming weeks. Their complicated personal history was now directly connected to a professional crisis that neither of them could easily avoid.The first strategy meeting took place in Sterling Group’s main conference room. A dozen people gathered around the large table, Elara seated near the middle, where her presence would not attract any particular attention.Kael led the meeting with a level of clarity and confidence that surprised her slightly. He moved through the complex legal and financial issues with sharp focus and competence, the same a

Elara spent the next two days working through the decision, deliberately separating her analysis of Sterling Group’s business position from any feelings she still had about Kael.She gathered the company’s complete financial information and carefully reviewed Harrington’s history with previous acquisitions. She examined employment data, workforce retention statistics from Harrington’s past restructuring efforts, and the usual timeline and scale of the dismantling that followed their successful takeovers.The pattern was consistent and troubling. Harrington did not preserve the companies it acquired. Instead, it aggressively extracted value, selling off divisions, reducing the workforce substantially, and prioritizing short-term shareholder returns over any genuine continuity or long-term strategic value.Elara thought about Sterling Group’s employees, thousands of people whose livelihoods depended on decisions being made now, mostly without their knowledge or involvement. Decisions th

The information reached Elara during a conversation with one of Sterling Group’s board members, a man who had contacted her directly, hoping to make the company’s case for her support."I'll be honest with you," he said, towards the end of their call, sounding frustrated despite trying to remain professional. "Kael refused to contact you personally about this. His own father pressured him directly, and he still refused. He said something about not wanting to use personal history as leverage."Elara sat with that information for a long moment after the call ended; slowly her understanding of the whole situation started to change.If she was honest with herself, she’d expected that Kael might eventually reach out, given the magnitude of what was at stake for his family's company. She'd prepared herself for that possibility; she had even prepared a composed, deliberate response in her mind for how she might handle a personal appeal from him amid everything else pressing for her attention

His father found him in his office late that evening. The defense strategy meetings had wretched for most of the day, and exhaustion was visible on both their faces as the crisis continued to accelerate."You haven't contacted Elara directly," his father said as he entered the room, and closed the door behind him."No, I haven't."“Why?” His father’s voice carried real frustration now. The careful composure he had maintained during their earlier conversations had given way to something sharper. “She holds the most important undecided position in this entire fight, and you have a personal relationship with her that no one else on this board can match. You’re sitting here while Harrington’s representatives and other board members make their pitches, and the one person who might actually have real influence refuses to even pick up his phone.""I understand the strategic logic," Kael said carefully. "But I'm not going to use our personal history to pressure her into making a business deci

Elara returned from her solitary trip to find the office in controlled urgency; Priya met her at the door with an expression that told her something serious had happened while she was away."Harrington Industrial Group has launched a hostile takeover attempt against Sterling Group," Priya said, before Elara had even fully set her bag down. "It's all over the industry news. They have acquired a thirty-one percent stake and have officially announced their intention to pursue a complete restructuring."The information hit Elara with immediate clarity. Before Priya had even finished explaining the details, Elara already understood exactly what the takeover could mean for her own position."Our stake," she said. "Twenty-two percent.""That's exactly it," Priya confirmed. "According to the preliminary shareholder analysis circulating in the industry press, our position could decide the outcome. If we side with Harrington, the takeover likely succeeds. If we side against it, or even abstain,

The board meeting was called within hours; every available member was summoned for an emergency session that stretched long into the evening. The atmosphere in the room was more serious than anything Kael had ever witnessed during previous crises.“I want everyone to understand exactly what we’re facing,” Kael said, standing at the head of the conference table. His father had formally put him in charge of the defense only a few hours earlier. “Harrington Industrial Group does not pursue hostile takeovers without careful planning. They’ve successfully carried out six hostile takeovers in the past decade, each time against companies that underestimated how thoroughly they had prepared.”“What exactly do they plan to do with Sterling Group if they succeed?” one of the older board members asked.“Based on their past takeovers, we should expect major restructuring,” Kael said. “They could sell off some of our divisions, make significant workforce cuts, and completely replace the current le
