The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance novel Chapter 1678

At the Lerman family estate, a glossy-furred tabby cat lay sleeping contentedly on Leonard's lap. He, however, was staring at his phone.

Ever since he had rejected Stella's call, she hadn't sent another message.

Leonard's brow furrowed. Could she really be in some kind of danger, unable to send another message for help?

At that thought, a pang of regret hit him.

Stella had never called him before, nor had she ever suggested they meet, always maintaining a faint distance. He could sense that she didn't want to get too close to him, which, for Leonard, was actually a good thing. Once Stella found out his true identity, she would surely want nothing to do with him.

But for her to suddenly call him out of the blue… something must have happened.

With that, Leonard cast aside his fear of being discovered and dialed her number.

The call was immediately disconnected. A notification appeared on his screen: he had been blocked.

Leonard froze.

He tried sending Stella a message, but it failed to deliver. He quickly realized Stella had blocked him.

A look of disbelief crossed Leonard's face. Did she block him just because he didn't answer her call?

His gut told him that couldn't be the reason. But he couldn't figure out what it could be.

Leonard gripped his phone tightly, his breathing growing ragged.

Tracking someone took time, and Leonard grew increasingly anxious and restless, unable to sit still. After only a few minutes, he couldn't stop himself from calling his assistant to push for results.

The assistant paused, clearly taken aback. "Mr. Lerman, it hasn't even been five minutes… It's not that fast to track Ms. Cameron."

Leonard was silent for a moment. "Tell them to hurry."

"Yes, sir."

After hanging up, Leonard still couldn't bring himself to wait calmly. He thought for a few seconds, then used a new number to try and add Stella as a contact. After a long wait, there was no response.

Just then, his assistant finally called. "Mr. Lerman, we've found Ms. Cameron's location. She's at Joshua's place right now…".
