The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance novel Chapter 1595

For one, the current leader had already lasted longer than most of the people who came before him. His position was said to be rock-solid; unless he met an untimely end, it would be nearly impossible to usurp his power.

Jonathan had also discovered that this leader had risen to the top in just two short years and had solidified his position within another two. This demonstrated his considerable abilities—his cunning, methods, and combat skills were all among the best of any Gardner leader in history. However, while tales of his deeds circulated, his name and appearance remained a complete mystery. Not that anyone really cared. The head of the Gardner family changed so frequently that, to most, the title was just a designation.

Just then, the door swung open, and a clear, crisp, yet incredibly familiar voice sounded, unhurried and calm.

"Mr. Williams, I've kept you waiting."

Jonathan put on a polite smile. "Not at all. I'm the one who arrived unannounced, disturbing you…"

But as he got a clear look at the person who had entered, his voice caught in his throat, and the smile on his face froze.

"You… you…" Jonathan's vision seemed to jolt as he stared in shock at the handsome man with the easy, sunny smile. "...Joshua?!"

Joshua smiled and greeted him. "Mr. Williams, long time no see."

Jonathan knew his last name was Gardner but had never connected him to *the* Gardners.

Slowly recovering from his disbelief, Jonathan asked hesitantly, "You… you're a Gardner?"

Even now, Jonathan refused to believe that Joshua was the head of the Gardner family.

"That's right," Joshua replied with a smile.

Jonathan carefully probed, "So… is your family head still busy?"
