The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance novel Chapter 1429

"Ms. Cameron, instead of focusing on the bodyguard who follows you around all day, why do you always fixate on your enemy?"

Leonard had appeared behind the Williams family without anyone noticing.

In his hand was a square object, draped in a red cloth.

Before Stella could reply, Joshua spoke from behind her. "It's because one must pay close attention to an enemy to find an opportunity for a fatal strike.

"Know thy enemy and know thyself, and you will not be imperiled in a hundred battles.

"Isn't that right, Mr. Lerman?"

Leonard's gaze shifted between Stella and Joshua.

He smiled faintly. "Joshua, I hope you can always be as confident as you are today.

"But we both know that's impossible."

He slowly descended the stairs, pausing as he passed Joshua.

"One lie requires a thousand more to keep it alive.

"Joshua, living with a knife hanging over your head, never knowing when it will fall… it can't be a pleasant feeling, can it?"

Joshua's expression remained cool and unfazed.

Leonard glanced at Stella, only to see her wearing the exact same impassive look.

She really trusted Joshua.

Leonard's smile was tinged with mockery. "The enemy of my enemy is my friend. Ms. Cameron, if you ever need anything, you can come to me anytime.

"I have many flaws, but my one virtue is that I don't lie."

His words caused everyone's expression to change.

Leonard was extending an olive branch to Stella? What did that mean?

Joshua's dark eyes grew cold and deep.

"Leonard, your attempts to sow discord are rather clumsy."
