The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance novel Chapter 1671

So what if it was Stella?

And so what if it wasn't?

Were they really going to hold her responsible?

Stella now had the support of half the shareholders of The Williams Group and had partnerships with the Quinn family and The Gardner Group. She wasn't someone they could just investigate on a whim.

Summoning her was merely a way to probe whether she had been involved in Aurora's kidnapping.

While unlikely, it wasn't entirely impossible.

Knowing he was powerless against Stella and Joshua, Coleman could only shut his mouth.

Stella attended the family meeting as if she were there to watch a show. She couldn't understand why King Wright would hate Aurora with such intensity. Even if he found out Aurora had staged her own rescue of Princess Wright, it didn't warrant this level of animosity.

Everyone chattered away, offering their opinions, and even McCoy chimed in with a few thoughts. Stella and Joshua listened like outsiders.

Only Leonard remained silent.

After a while, Stella grew bored and whispered to Joshua, "Joshua, your injuries haven't healed yet. Do you want to go outside for some fresh air and rest?"

Joshua had little interest in rescuing Aurora; he had only come along to make sure Stella wasn't bullied. Seeing that everything was calm, he gave a slight nod.

Stella had clearly never encountered such a move before. Her cheeks flushed red, and she snatched her hand back as if she'd been burned.

Leonard's eyes burned with fury as he watched. He couldn't restrain himself any longer and slammed his hand on the table.

A loud bang echoed through the room. The discussion came to an abrupt halt as everyone turned to look at Leonard in surprise. They had all been focused on Aurora's safety, drafting rescue plans, and no one had noticed his strange behavior.

In that instant, Leonard snapped back to reality. He tore his gaze away, but his eyes were chillingly cold, as if he wanted to kill someone.

The group had just been discussing whether King Wright would kill Aurora when Leonard suddenly slammed the table. They all assumed he was worried about her safety.

Jonathan even offered a rare word of comfort. "Leonard, King Wright would never dare to kill Aurora. If he did, he'd be making an enemy of all our families. If our families joined forces against the Wrights, they wouldn't be able to escape unscathed."
