The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance novel Chapter 1428

At the mention of Summer's painting, the murderous glint in Leonard's eyes softened slightly.

He slowly lowered the gun, a cold smile touching his lips as he looked at Israel.

"Since we've just signed the contract, and this is your first offense, I'll let it slide this time.

"Mr. Israel, I hope you won't do anything foolish. Watch your step."

With that, he turned to Aurora.

"Let's go get the painting."

Aurora whispered, "Alright."

After they left, the tension in the room finally broke.

Coleman said to Israel, "Israel, Leonard is a lunatic. Why do you keep provoking him?

"Even when he was in love with Aurora, he never treated us well. Do you think he'll be any different now?"

Israel, still shaken, finally regained his composure.

He knew in his heart that if he had said one more word, Leonard would have actually shot him.

But despite knowing this, he refused to back down.

"It's because I hit a nerve! That's why he lashed out in a fit of pique!

"And what do you mean, ‘now'? You think he doesn't love her anymore?

"If he really didn't love her, why would he want a painting of her back?!"

Only then did everyone else remember that of all the gifts Leonard had given Aurora, he had only asked for the painting of her back.

Coleman said, "Israel, you really went too far this time.

"Leonard was never cheap with Aurora. The gifts he gave her were often worth hundreds of millions.

"He'd sign off on deals worth billions for her without batting an eye.
