The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance novel Chapter 1942

Their eyes met, the man's gaze deep and unnervingly calm.

Stella no longer felt the panic of being caught; all that remained was a chilling numbness after learning the entire truth.

"Why?" she asked, looking at Joshua. "Why did you do it?"

Joshua met her gaze, his voice as smooth and cold as a winter stream.

"I hated how they were constantly hovering around you, stealing your attention."

"Just because of that, you orchestrated all of this against them?" Stella demanded.

"It was nothing more than a few minor lessons and warnings," Joshua replied smoothly.

Stella stared at his handsome, familiar features, feeling a sudden wave of disorientation wash over her.

Even after being exposed, he showed no guilt, no anxiety, not even a shred of remorse or regret.

He genuinely didn't believe he had done anything wrong.

For a moment, Stella's mind spun in absolute chaos.

Her only previous suspicion about Joshua was that he had been hiding the true extent of his illness.

Even when she sensed something was off about what happened to Antoney and Lauretta, she had never once suspected Joshua.

Even as the people around her ran into trouble one by one, she had never pointed the finger at him.

From the very beginning, Joshua had always been there to help her.

And his devotion to her went far beyond simple assistance.

Likewise, Stella's feelings for Joshua had long transcended ordinary love.

It was no exaggeration to say that Joshua now held the absolute first place in her heart.

Even Keen took a back seat to him.

Stella simply couldn't believe that Joshua, the man who always put her needs first, could be capable of such ruthless manipulation.

It felt as if she had entrusted her back to the person she trusted most, only to be ruthlessly stabbed.
