The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance novel Chapter 1735

His thoughts raced, and Jonathan quickly made his decision.

He looked at Beckett, his eyes cold and dark.

"Mr. Torres, regarding Aurora, I hope you can give the Williams family a satisfactory explanation."

Beckett had anticipated this. He could see the situation just as clearly as Jonathan.

At that moment, he was seething with hatred for Joshua.

Joshua must have known Jonathan would try to shift the blame and had surely prepared a counter-strategy.

But he had deliberately chosen to drag him into this mess.

Joshua's methods of revenge were truly disgusting.

Beckett would rather have Joshua just shoot him, like he did last time, than be stuck with this persistent annoyance.

He had heard that Leonard Lerman had to give up three percent of his shares just to get the Williams family off his back.

If even a ruthless man like Leonard had to go through such an ordeal to escape them, he didn't stand much of a chance.

Once Jonathan had made his choice, Stella slowly stood up.

"Is there anything else, brother? If not, we'll be leaving."

Jonathan waved a dismissive hand.

Stella glanced at Joshua. "Joshua, let's go."

Joshua rose to his feet and gave Beckett a smiling wave.

"Beckett, Mr. Williams is a reasonable man. As long as you confess and admit your mistake, I'm sure he won't make things difficult for you."

Beckett glared at Joshua, his eyes filled with menace.

After leaving the Williams estate, Stella finally asked, "Joshua, how were you so sure that Jonathan would give up on me and choose Beckett instead?"

Joshua replied, "Without Beckett, Jonathan had nothing to gain, so the probability of him relentlessly pursuing you was high.

But I gave him an alternative. The potential benefits he can extract from Beckett are far easier to obtain than anything he could get from you.

With a dark expression, Beckett prepared to leave the Williams estate.

As he reached the ground floor, a soft voice called out from behind him.

"Mr. Torres, please wait."

Beckett stopped and turned around.

A slender figure was standing at the top of the stairs.

"Is there something you need, Ms. Williams?" Beckett asked coolly.

Aurora slowly descended the stairs. "Mr. Torres, I've heard about what happened earlier. I'm truly sorry.

I know this has nothing to do with you.

Later, I'll talk to my brother. Your losses… I'll do my best to have them returned to you."

Beckett's expression was indifferent. "That won't be necessary. The contract has been signed and is already in effect. If you truly feel sorry, Ms. Williams, then please have your family stay far away from me in the future."
