The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance novel Chapter 1545

Since they were all in the same boat, and they were all family, seeing Sellers' confident demeanor, their anxieties began to subside.

"Alright. If you're this sure, we'll trust you this time."

"The Burton family can hold out for a year or two without a problem, but don't make us wait too long. We don't want to miss our chance to recover."

Sellers replied with an air of calm assurance, "Don't worry. Within three months, I guarantee you'll see results."

...

Stella had been in full vacation mode, almost completely disconnected from work. It wasn't until she returned that she learned about the crisis at The Burton Group.

Staring at the news on her phone, Stella fell into a deep thought.

"The Gardner Group... maliciously targeting The Burton Group?"

Only a powerhouse like the Gardner family could take on a conglomerate like The Burton Group. But why would they? Why would the Gardners target the Burtons?

Suddenly, Foreman's words echoed in her mind.

"Joshua isn't just a simple bodyguard-he's the head of the Gardner family!"

Because of his past deception, Stella had been inclined to dismiss everything Foreman said. The idea of Joshua being the head of the Gardner family seemed like another lie, a desperate attempt to drive a wedge between them and make her fear Joshua. She had heard the rumors about the Gardner family and the ruthless tactics of its patriarch. She had even heard Skyler and Jonathan Williams discuss it on occasion. Subconsciously, she refused to believe that Joshua could be the monster they described.

As Stella was lost in thought, a soft knock sounded at her office door.

"Come in," she said absently, assuming it was her secretary with a report.

However, after the person entered, there was a prolonged silence. Finding it odd, Stella looked up and froze in surprise at the sight of her visitor.

Simone asked nervously, "The guards are gone too. According to the security footage, Rachel was taken two weeks ago... Brother, do you think Joshua rescued her?"

"No," Leonard said. "If he wanted to save her, she never would have ended up in our hands in the first place."

"Then who could have taken her?" Simone asked. "Haynes?"

Leonard thought for a moment. "Most likely Sellers."

Simone was confused. "Sellers? Why would Sellers rescue Rachel?"

After a long pause, Leonard finally answered. "You and Aurora used to be inseparable. She knows everything about Rachel. And lately, Aurora and Sellers have become quite close. I imagine Aurora has told him everything she knows. The Burton Group is currently taking a beating from The Gardner Group. They desperately need a way to turn the tables, and Rachel is the perfect pawn."

Simone fumed. "Well, I guess that just shows how much of a big mouth Aurora really is!"
