The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance novel Chapter 1849

Joshua smiled and hugged Keen, whispering in his ear, "Thank you. And… I'm sorry."

Confusion filled Keen's eyes. He didn't understand why Mr. Joshua was apologizing to him.

Before he could ask, Joshua had already let him go and taken Stella's hand, leading her away.

-

Solmaris, the Williams family estate.

Upon learning that the transfer of Leonard's shares had not only failed but had also been frozen, even Aurora, with her exceptional composure, could no longer maintain her decorum.

She couldn't help but let out a small, cold laugh. "To think… to think that Leonard would one day scheme against me for another woman."

If it hadn't been for Leonard's countermove, her plan would have succeeded.

But now, she had lost on all fronts. She had gained nothing and had also lost Foreman as a pawn.

Leonard, who had once done all sorts of wicked things for her, had now become one of her biggest obstacles. The whiplash of it all made her despise him even more than she did Joshua.

Jonathan, however, showed no signs of disappointment. He said calmly, "Leonard is the head of the family, after all. It's normal for him to have considered these things.

If we had known he would become such an obstacle, we shouldn't have given up on him so easily back then."

Aurora sneered. "It's useless. From the day he started paying attention to Stella, the outcome was already set."

"In any case," Jonathan said, "the freeze on Leonard's shares isn't entirely bad for us.

At the very least, Stella won't inherit the shares directly and sideline me.

Six months is enough time for us to turn the tables."

Aurora looked at Jonathan, a faint smile touching her lips.

"Have you already figured out our next move, Jonathan?"

Jonathan nodded. "I plan to marry Lauretta Chapman. That way, we'll bind our interests together, and the Chapman family will have no choice but to fully support me.

With their support, even if Stella gets Leonard's shares, she won't be able to sideline me easily."

As the heir to the Williams family, Jonathan certainly had a strategic mind.

If Aurora hadn't been kidnapped, Jonathan and Lauretta would probably have been engaged already.
