The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance novel Chapter 1541

"Besides, I've never done anything to hurt you. We've known each other for so many years. Don't you know what kind of person I am?" Foreman said.

Stella looked at him and answered plainly, "It was precisely because I trusted you completely, because I never once believed you were capable of such things, that you could use me the way you did. You nearly got Joshua killed in that fire because of it."

Foreman Richards could no longer contain himself. He lost his composure and roared, "Joshua, Joshua! Is he all you can see? What about me? What am I to you?"

Stella's voice was calm. "Foreman, is human life so worthless in your eyes? So easy for you to disregard?"

Foreman took a deep breath, trying to regain his composure.

"Star, you think I'm the one who doesn't value life? What about Joshua? Do you believe he's some kind of saint? He treats lives like they're nothing - his hands are stained with more blood than you could ever imagine. Next to him, I'm hardly anything at all."

Stella assumed Foreman was talking about Stuart.

She said flatly, "Stuart had it coming. By getting rid of him, Joshua did everyone a favor."

Disbelief flickered in Foreman's eyes, quickly replaced by a bitter smile.

"Star, in your eyes, is everything he does justifiable?"

"Star, listen to me! I came here to tell you something!"

Without waiting for her to respond, Foreman rushed on, "Joshua Gardner isn't just a simple bodyguard-he's the head of the Gardner family! And he was the one who helped Rachel Pearce fake her medical records, the reason Haynie and I could never find anything! He's the real culprit who turned you and Haynie against each other and left you with nothing!

Star, have you forgotten? Do you remember how much Rachel pushed you to the brink? Think about it-how could an ordinary woman like Rachel have pulled off such a massive deception without someone powerful helping her? He's hiding by your side as a bodyguard now, but there must be a deeper conspiracy.

Star, you can't trust him. He's not a good person. The Gardners have a severe history of mental illness. He's a ticking time bomb who could hurt you at any moment. We need to eliminate him now, before he realizes we're on to him. Otherwise, he'll drag you down to hell with him!"
