The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance novel Chapter 1651

Besides, Noah was there. It wasn't certain if his family was involved, too.

If several major families teamed up, they really could bring down the Wright family.

Aurora Williams never thought she'd see the day she was dragged down by Stella Cameron.

She said softly, "Wright, believe me, I would never harm Eason.

The Gardner family gave The Williams Group that favorable contract because of Stella, not because of us…"

Aurora wanted to say more, but Lady Wright's hysterical wails came through the phone.

"Eason, my son!"

Aurora's heart sank. She had a terrible feeling.

"Eason is…"

Before Princess Wright could speak, Aurora heard a doctor's somber voice on the other end of the line.

"Mr. Wright, Lady Wright, we did everything we could. Please accept our condolences."

Princess Wright's phone fell to the floor.

She didn't have time to talk to Aurora. She threw herself onto Eason's body, sobbing in utter despair.

"Brother, I'm so sorry… I'm the one who got you killed…"

King Wright looked devastated, staggering back several steps.

In an instant, he seemed to have aged ten years.

Seeing Princess Wright kneeling by Eason's bed, weeping, King Wright was overcome with fury.

He raised his hand and slapped Princess Wright hard across the face, knocking her to the ground.

"If you hadn't gone and gotten involved with that troublesome woman from the Williams family, Eason wouldn't be dead!

She didn't just seduce Eason; she seduced the head of the Gardner family, too.

"Joshua Gardner killed Eason. Now, King Wright thinks we conspired with Joshua to have Eason killed."

Coleman said in disbelief, "Are you serious? They think we teamed up with Joshua?"

"That favorable contract Joshua signed with us a while ago has become the evidence of our alliance," Aurora said flatly. "It leaves me with no way to defend myself."

At this, Aurora looked as if she'd thought of something absurdly funny.

"King Wright also thinks Joshua killed Eason for me."

She had done absolutely nothing, yet she was inexplicably taking the fall for Joshua and Stella, earning the Wrights' hatred.

Thinking of the things King Wright had shouted about her over the phone, Aurora felt a sense of indignation she had never experienced before.

Coleman grasped the key point of the matter, his brow furrowed.

"So, King Wright is blaming you for everything, while Stella, the one who actually started it all, just gets to conveniently disappear from the picture?"
