The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance novel Chapter 1929

Stella opened the email. The sender was 'L'.

Frowning, she was about to delete it when her eyes snagged on the content, freezing her in her tracks.

"Joshua found out you're looking for Sellers Burton. He's already moved him."

Stella wasn't surprised that Leonard Lerman knew about the investigation—she was using his network, after all. What shocked her was how terrifyingly fast Joshua had caught on. Even using an entirely separate intelligence apparatus, he still sensed it.

After a few seconds of heavy silence, she typed a reply: "Where is he now?"

Leonard was apparently still awake. The response came back almost instantly: "Still digging."

This was Solmaris—the Lerman family's backyard. If someone as wildly connected as Leonard Lerman needed more time to track a captive down, it proved just how lethal Joshua's countermeasures were.

Just as Stella was about to close the app, another email from L popped into her inbox.

"Those three assistants are Joshua's people."

Stella's pupils shrank.

Joshua's people.

To prevent any moles from infiltrating her inner circle, Wilbur and Gideon had been handpicked by Abby from a group of operatives trained specifically by the Watson family. Their loyalty was absolute; they couldn't be bought, and they would never betray her.

Now that Stella held the reins of the Williams Group, she desperately needed to cultivate a loyal guard of her own. But with Wilbur and Gideon both sidelined, she had been forced to start from scratch. This was exactly why she had been in such a terrible mood recently. Finding people who were trustworthy, highly skilled, and perfectly suited for the job was no easy feat.

And now Leonard was telling her these three new girls were Joshua's spies?
