The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance novel Chapter 2127

Everything happened so fast that the security guards hadn't even had time to react.

Hearing Joshua's call, they immediately rushed over and pulled the two women apart.

The restaurant manager also hurried to the scene to take control of the situation.

Aurora's hair was a rat's nest, her cheeks were bright red and swollen, and she looked like an absolute wreck.

Humiliation and rage caused her entire body to tremble violently.

Joshua glanced at the battered woman and spoke at a leisurely pace. "Ms. Williams, you should go change your clothes. I'll handle this situation for you."

His words were like a potent sedative to Aurora.

Instantly, the majority of her burning fury evaporated.

In the past, whenever she was bullied, her devoted lapdogs would fight for the chance to fix her problems before she even had to ask.

But now, the men who used to solve her problems were disappearing from her life one by one.

McCoy loved her with all his heart, but he was far too rational; he would never act recklessly like Leonard.

Sellers was still overseas receiving medical treatment.

Sherman was too weak and incompetent to go up against the powerful families.

Suddenly, she had found herself without a single person willing to stand up and fight for her.

She had been swallowing her pride and living in suffocating frustration for far too long.

Thankfully, Joshua had appeared exactly when she needed him most.

She knew better than anyone just how ruthless his methods could be.

No wonder Rachel had risked being exposed just to pretend to be his first love.

No wonder Simone Lerman had been so obsessed with him.

No wonder Stella chose to stay single rather than settle for anyone else.

Joshua was incredibly useful.

On his own, he could accomplish what took Leonard, Sellers, and McCoy combined to achieve.

Did he break her arms and legs? Or did he just ruin her face entirely?

With that delightful thought, her steps became visibly lighter.

However, the moment she walked out, she was met by several uniformed police officers.

"Ms. Williams, we received a report that you and a Ms. Shayla were involved in a physical altercation at the restaurant. Please come with us to the station to assist with the investigation."

Aurora froze. Despite her well-practiced composure, a flash of genuine outrage slipped through.

"An altercation? She attacked me first!"

The officer replied patiently, "Ms. Williams, please calm down. We will investigate the matter thoroughly. We won't let a guilty person walk free, but we also won't falsely accuse an innocent one."

Someone had actually called the cops!

Aurora felt a suffocating tightness in her chest.

"Where is Shayla right now?" she demanded.

The officer answered, "She is already at the station giving her statement. Rest assured, Ms. Williams, we've pulled all the security footage from the restaurant. You'll get justice."
