The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance novel Chapter 853

Simone didn’t even blink.

“No problem,” she replied.

For the Lerman family, releasing someone as insignificant as Rachel was a trivial matter.

Rachel finally gave a satisfied smile. “What do you want to know?”

…

Half an hour later, Simone left the prison feeling thoroughly pleased.

Before she left, she told Rachel, “The day after tomorrow, my people will get you out of here.”

Rachel smiled graciously. “Thank you, Miss Lerman. If you ever have more questions, you can always come to me.”

As Simone walked away, Rachel watched her retreating figure, a cold, sly smile creeping onto her lips.

Simone had said she didn’t remember the details from back then, hadn’t she?

That made things much easier.

Even if Simone really was the one Joshua was searching for, Rachel could find a way to convince him otherwise.

All she had to do was plant enough doubt to make Joshua think Simone was an imposter. That way, Rachel could still win his trust.

Of course, lying was an art. She couldn’t afford to let Simone catch her in a slip—at least not easily.

Outside the prison, Aurora turned to Simone with a warning.

“Simone, you can’t take everything Rachel says at face value.”

Simone nodded. “Don’t worry, I know where to draw the line. She’ll lie, but only about the small details.”

Aurora was thoughtful. “By the way, why didn’t you ask Rachel who Joshua really is?”

Simone smiled. “That would spoil the fun. I want to uncover Joshua’s identity myself.”

Aurora chuckled. “You’re still such a child at heart.”

That reminded Simone of something. “Oh, Aurora—my brother’s almost finished sorting out the family affairs. He said he’ll come see you soon. He’s got his hands on a wonderful painting and wants to show it to you.”

Aurora’s face lit up. “I’d love that. I haven’t seen Leonard in ages.”
