The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance novel Chapter 1424

Though Joshua's words were harsh, he often hit the nail on the head.

Everyone suddenly realized that throughout their entire discussion, Aurora had remained silent.

Jonathan looked at her. "Aurora, what are your thoughts on this?"

Whatever Leonard's true motive was, the final decision rested with her.

A shadow of gloom hung over Aurora's features.

For a wealthy family with many children, a three percent stake in a major corporation was a significant amount.

Not to mention, she and Leonard were not related, nor had they ever been a couple. To receive three percent would make countless people green with envy.

In the past, Aurora would have been thrilled.

She had wanted to be free of Leonard, so gaining an additional three percent of his company would have been a pleasant surprise.

However, Leonard's eagerness to be rid of her left Aurora with a stinging sense of rejection.

A phrase popped into her head.

Paying to make a problem go away.

And she was the problem.

When had she become someone people were desperate to avoid?

Now, all eyes were on her, waiting for her to speak.

Even Stella looked at Aurora, curious to see what she would decide.

Aurora took a deep breath. "Leonard doesn't owe the Williams family anything. In fact, our family has received a great deal of help from him over the years.

"I think, regardless of his decision, we shouldn't accept this three percent stake."

Israel disagreed. "He and Simone ruined your reputation. This is what you deserve.

"You treated Simone like your best friend for years, and she plotted against you like that. As her brother, isn't it right for him to compensate you?
