The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance novel Chapter 1506

Leonard looked down at her.

His gaze was strange, filled with an inexplicable complexity. It felt as though someone who had never given her a second glance was suddenly studying her with intense scrutiny.

It made Stella feel extremely weird and uncomfortable.

She looked at Leonard defensively. "Is there something you want?"

The icy caution in the woman's eyes was a world away from the relaxed trust she showed Joshua. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would never have believed they were the same person.

Somehow, Leonard thought of Summer again.

Summer was always patient and gentle with him, just like… just like Stella was with Joshua.

Was Summer… really Stella?

Seeing Leonard remain silent, still staring at her with that bizarre expression, made Stella even more uneasy.

"Leonard, what is it you want?" she asked, her tone cold.

Leonard opened his mouth, intending to ask if she was Summer, but the words that came out were, "Did you send someone to beat up Aurora?"

Aurora?

Stella raised an eyebrow. "She was beaten up?"

She found it hard to believe. In Solmaris, someone actually dared to attack Aurora? With her legion of admirers, anyone who let Aurora suffer the slightest grievance would have people knocking on their door to teach them a lesson, let alone physically assaulting her.

Who on earth had been so bold?

From their appearance, one would never guess she had suffered such a severe injury.

He remembered that when he had destroyed her hands, Stella had tricked him. Her right hand hadn't sustained any damage to the bones or tendons. She couldn't play the violin anymore, but she could still paint.

Because Leonard had been observing Stella through binoculars, he knew perfectly well that her hands functioned normally in daily life.

When Stella saw Leonard staring at her hands, she felt a chill run down her spine. This madman wasn't thinking of a way to destroy her other, unharmed hand, was he?

Aurora had suffered such a huge loss, and now she'd been beaten up. Leonard might just decide to settle all old and new scores with her at once.

Others might not be so unreasonable, but for Leonard, it was perfectly normal. Even after Joshua had crippled one of his hands, Leonard's nature meant he wouldn't feel any fear or restraint. Because this man was an obsessive, extreme lunatic.

At this thought, Stella instinctively pulled her hands under the table, her expression growing even colder. She knew Leonard probably couldn't attack her in public as brazenly as before, but who knew if Aurora's situation had pushed him over the edge?
