The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance novel Chapter 861

Aurora’s brow furrowed slightly. “Violence? Simone, you’re being reckless. I’ve heard Seymour’s been a fighter since he was a kid—nasty, ruthless. There are rumors he’s killed more than a few people.

To keep him from causing even more trouble, the Chapman family shipped him off to a military camp in Solmaris, hoping it would straighten him out.

But instead of reforming him, it just made him even tougher.
