The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance novel Chapter 1969

She mocked, "Are you trying to tell me Joshua did all this?"

His voice was raspy. "If I were being selfish, I'd be the one wanting him to undergo hypnosis the most. Logically, once he forgets you, you'll separate, and I'll have a chance, right?"

Her gaze was freezing. "Maybe your goal isn't to separate us. Maybe you just want to drive him completely insane."

He couldn't help but defend Leonard. "Stella, if this kid really wanted to hurt the Gardner boy, wouldn't it have been smarter to plant his own man? I'm the one who recommended Colby. If Leonard was really scheming, he'd be dragging me and Mr. Burton down with him. Given your relationship with Mr. Burton, do you think he'd let Leonard off the hook for that? He still needs Mr. Burton to cure his poison. Pulling a stunt like that would be a death wish."

Old Mr. Wyatt gave him a long look but didn't expose the lie.

Leonard turned to the two older men.
