The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance novel Chapter 1425

"Israel, you still hold some shares in The Williams Group, don't you?

"If you're willing to offer up three percent of your own stock to quell this storm, you could certainly do so.

"Since you seem to think Aurora's reputation is so valuable, why not put your money where your mouth is?"

Israel was momentarily speechless.

After a beat, he stammered, "You're the one who caused this mess, why should I be the one to pay for it?

"Leonard, let me tell you—"

Before Israel could finish his warning, Leonard cut him off impatiently.

"I'm willing to compensate Aurora out of respect for our many years of acquaintance, because I don't want things between us to become ugly.

"Stop playing these word games with me. My patience has its limits."

As he spoke, his dark eyes swept over the room, his voice turning cold and menacing.

"I can give, but you cannot demand. I, Leonard, am not a tool for you to manipulate."

The air in the room grew colder with his words.

That was right. Everyone had forgotten that Leonard was not a kind, soft-hearted man.

Push him too far, and he wouldn't back down; he'd drag you down with him.

He was ruthless and never showed mercy to his enemies.

Did the Williams family really think they could control him so easily?

Stella coolly observed the expressions on the faces of the Williams family, a cynical smile on her lips.

Leonard might be young, but he was no naive fool.

The moment Coleman opened his mouth, Leonard had seen right through their petty schemes.

They had underestimated him, and their plan had backfired.

Now, with their intentions laid bare, the Williams family members all looked uncomfortable.
