The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance novel Chapter 2055

"However, I can't guarantee if or when we'll actually find it.

Second, you can propose a condition or a form of compensation that I can actually fulfill.

As for anything else... I am truly sorry, but my abilities have limits. I likely won't be able to pull off a miracle."

Joshua let out a soft chuckle, the sound rich with hidden meaning.

"You're quite something, Ms. Cameron. With just a few words, you've managed to toss the burden of your own mistake right back into my lap."

Stella instantly went quiet.

She had been trained by Joshua himself. There were many things she could easily maneuver around with other people, but outsmarting Joshua was near impossible.

Compared to him, she was still playing in a lower league.

Joshua didn't drag it out any further. "Fine. I won't make things difficult for you. Promise me two things, and I'll drop the matter with the car."

Stella wasn't stupid enough to agree blindly. "Let's hear them first, Mr. Gardner."

Joshua said, "My first condition is that I want you to find someone for me."

Stella's eye twitched. "Who?"

Joshua replied, "You overheard the conversation I had with Laurel Quinn at her house the other day.

I want to find the person who played the violin in her back garden.

I hear you are the true head of the Williams family now, in full control of The Williams Group's power and network.

With your help, tracking down one person shouldn't be difficult."

Stella's heart, which had been hanging by a thread, plummeted completely.

She knew it. She knew there was a reason he was suddenly being so accommodating.

The real impossible task was waiting for her all along.

Before Stella could form a response, Joshua spoke again.

"My second condition is that you repaint my car yourself... Naturally, I'll provide a different shade of paint.

If something goes wrong again, don't blame me for not showing Laurel Quinn any mercy."

Stella found herself in a thorny situation.

Joshua had been hypnotized, so she knew she shouldn't have too much direct contact with him.

That was precisely why she had delegated the repair work to her subordinates in the first place.

But this paint was absurdly precious.

If it got ruined again, there would be no excusing it.

It would be better to just fix the car flawlessly in one go and avoid any further entanglements.

As her thoughts raced, Stella made her decision.

"Let's do this. I'll personally supervise the repair this time, and you can inspect it on the spot. How does that sound?"
