The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance novel Chapter 2027

Allying with the Lerman family would require him to invest an immense amount of time and energy into supporting Harland.

Right now, Jonathan can barely save himself; where would he find the time to help someone else?

He absolutely has to find someone who can offer him direct, immediate assistance.

None of the major heritage families have a suitable match for him anymore.

He can only cast his net toward foreign families.

The Hayser family wields considerable power in Solmaris, making them an excellent choice."

Haynes gazed at Stella's luminous face, suddenly finding himself momentarily entranced.

Two years ago, she had been making him soup with her own hands.

Later, she had stepped onto the stage, radiating brilliance.

And now, she could sit across from him, effortlessly exchanging witty remarks while analyzing complex power dynamics.

It seemed that every blow she suffered never knocked her down; instead, it only forged her into something stronger.

Haynes suddenly realized there was probably nothing he could even do to help her anymore.

...

After lunch, Stella didn't linger and headed straight back to work.

Once Abby learned that Jonathan was targeting the Hayser family for a marriage alliance, she immediately launched a detailed investigation.

"Star, I looked into the Haysers. Currently, the head of the family has only one daughter and no other heirs.

Mr. Hayser's health is failing, and he's getting on in years. The moment he passes away, the other relatives will likely swallow Miss Hayser alive.

Right now, Mr. Hayser is desperately searching for a suitable candidate to marry into their family as a live-in husband. He wants someone capable of helping Miss Hayser protect the family empire."

Abby's face contorted in disgust.

"Don't tell me Jonathan is actually willing to be a subservient husband?

From what I've seen, he's incredibly arrogant, totally full of himself, and obnoxiously chauvinistic.
