The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance novel Chapter 1797

Coleman continued, "Besides that, is there any direct evidence proving Joshua kidnapped you?"

Aurora opened her mouth, the humiliating memories flashing through her mind. But she suddenly realized she had no concrete proof at all. Her word alone was not enough.

Just like when Stella had accused Leonard of kidnapping her…

At that thought, Aurora first froze, then suddenly burst into laughter.

The three Williams men were startled by her sudden laughter and stared at her, stunned.

Skyler asked with concern, "Aurora, are you all right?" He turned and quickly called out, "Doctor!"

Skyler was beginning to think that Aurora's mind had genuinely been broken by the ordeal.

Aurora quickly stopped laughing and said to Skyler, "Joshua will do anything to avenge Stella. When Stella was kidnapped by Leonard, Leonard intentionally denied it. So, this time, Joshua deliberately kidnapped me to get revenge for Stella."

Coleman gazed at Aurora's cold eyes, his own expression deepening.

He suddenly felt that the sister before him was a complete stranger. Stella had changed a lot, and it seemed Aurora's transformation was just as significant. These two incidents had caused a seismic shift in Aurora's mentality.

Since there was no real evidence, and the Williams family had already suffered several setbacks at Joshua's hands, they had no choice but to drop the matter for now.

Before leaving Aurora's room, Coleman glanced back at her one last time.

Aurora was sitting by the bed, staring blankly out the window.

For some reason, Coleman had a feeling that this time, Aurora would not let it go.

***

Aurora recounted the story of her abduction by Joshua in detail.

At the mention of Joshua's name, Sellers frowned reflexively, his eyes filled with a deep loathing. "Him again."

Joshua had managed to offend nearly all the major families in his quest to help Stella. The problem was, he was reckless and left them with no way to retaliate.

Aurora said, "I heard from my brother that Joshua is currently relocating his businesses. Once he establishes a foothold in Solmaris, it will be a disaster for all of us. By the way…"

Aurora looked up at Sellers. "During the time I was held by Joshua, I discovered something."

Sellers asked, "What is it?"

Aurora's gaze turned chilling as she enunciated each word. "Something is wrong with Joshua's condition."
