The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance novel Chapter 1539

"That man has plenty of cunning but lacks real courage," Sellers said dismissively. "He can't achieve anything great, but if you're not careful, he can still cause you to stumble badly. I nearly fell for that little weasel's tricks myself back then."

Sherman looked at Sellers. "Uncle, do you know what Foreman is doing now?"

"I've kept tabs on a schemer like Foreman, just to make sure he doesn't try to backstab me again," Sellers said. "Ever since he was exposed last time, he went back to Novaris and has been hiding out in Sandford, not even daring to set foot in Neo-Vespera. But he hasn't been idle; he's still plotting in the shadows." Sellers let out a sneer. "He's been quiet for so long, he must be about ready to make his move. Too bad it's all fabricated nonsense. He'll have a hard time fooling Stella."

Sherman asked curiously, "Uncle, what exactly is Foreman plotting?"

"Foreman might not be capable of great things, but he's certainly skilled at stabbing people in the back," Sellers said. "I paid the price for underestimating him once, and Joshua nearly fell for his trap too, which shows he has some tricks up his sleeve. He's usually cautious and doesn't leave loose ends. If he hadn't been so desperate last time, he wouldn't have been exposed so easily. If it were me, I would have put a bullet in Joshua right then and there, not giving him any chance to survive."

"Using Foreman to deal with Joshua… is that really viable?" Aurora asked. "By the way, what exactly is Foreman's plan?"

"I don't know if Foreman got a tip from somewhere or just stumbled upon it by chance, but right now, he's gathering evidence that Joshua was Rachel's ‘accomplice'," Sellers revealed.

Meanwhile, Old Mrs. Connolly had passed away. Stella and Joshua went to attend her funeral. At the service, after paying her respects before Mrs. Connolly's portrait, Stella said to Neville, "Neville, my condolences."

"Star, thank you," Neville replied. "And thank you for everything during this time."

Even though Stella hadn't said it, Neville knew she had stayed in Aetheria for so long to see his grandmother off on her final journey. Many people had come to the funeral, and Neville was busy, so Stella only exchanged a few words with him before finding a quiet corner to sit and wait for the memorial service to begin. The crowd of guests was large, and Stella noticed members from many prominent families. She even saw Shirley Vance.
