The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance novel Chapter 1161

Maybe someone had deliberately suppressed the news, because not a single photo of Joshua had surfaced online.

But if you looked into him, information was everywhere.

His reputation, in fact, was just as formidable as his brother’s.

“I just can’t figure it out,” Aurora said, frowning. “Why would he choose to stay by Stella’s side? What’s in it for him?”

Even now, Aurora couldn’t believe Joshua felt anything romantic toward Stella.

It wasn’t just that Stella was divorced—she also had a child. Sure, she was good-looking, but a man like Joshua could have any woman he wanted.

On this point, Leonard agreed completely.

He didn’t believe for a second that Joshua was interested in Stella, either.

After a moment’s thought, Leonard said, “He’s ambitious, that’s for sure. Maybe he wants to swallow up the entire Williams family.”

“The money he’s invested isn’t charity. For all we know, Joshua already swindled Stella out of her shares. And to get Stella to trust him, he’d have to give her a taste of success first.”

Aurora asked, “Leonard, do you think Stella knows who Joshua really is?”

Leonard shook his head. “Doubtful. If she did, she wouldn’t still be treating him like a bodyguard—she’d be clinging to him for dear life.”

Suddenly, something else occurred to Leonard. “You know, maybe the Williams family isn’t even his only target. Our own family, the Lermans, could be on his list too.”

“And honestly, he’s already halfway there. Simone is completely under his spell now.”
