The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance novel Chapter 2130

Joshua's eyes were as deep as an abyss. "I ran a background check on you and discovered traces of this person's existence.

"However, there's absolutely no data regarding his identity or what he looked like. It's as if every trace of his existence was intentionally erased.

"My people looked into it extensively, but we couldn't find a single solid lead."

He kept his eyes locked on hers. "Someone's existence only gets scrubbed like that for two reasons: either they aren't an ordinary person, or they desperately don't want to be found.

"He used to follow you everywhere. What could he possibly have to hide?

"The only logical explanation is that you two were once intimately involved."

He was just as dangerously sharp as he had always been.

Oddly enough, Stella felt a wave of relief wash over her.

For a terrifying second, she thought his hypnosis had cracked and his memories had returned.

When she didn't respond, he continued, "But judging by your reaction, my guess was right. The two of you must have been very close."

Her racing heart finally began to settle.

Her reaction just now had definitely been a slip of composure.

But thinking about it rationally, with Joshua's intellect, it wasn't surprising that his investigation had led him this far.

He might even uncover the entire truth eventually.

She just hadn't expected the confrontation to happen so soon.

Thankfully, it was a false alarm.

Her demeanor shifted instantly, turning frosty and distant.

"The past is the past. There's no reason to dig it up.

"Mr. Gardner, I would appreciate it if you stopped investigating my history."

Joshua looked at her and chuckled softly.

"I only looked into you because I find you fascinating. I wanted to learn more about you.

"But if you hate it that much, I'll stop."

Her eyelashes fluttered. "I'm a divorced woman with a child. I am not a suitable match for you."
