The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance novel Chapter 1661

"Leonard, I'll go get my father and brother. They'll come help you."

After speaking with grave sincerity, Aurora opened the car door and hurried away.

Leonard watched her retreating figure, feeling a strange sense of detachment.

He thought of Stella.

If it had been Stella, she never would have left.

On the plane, Leonard had seen the security footage of Stella and Joshua escaping the palace. His current predicament was remarkably similar to what they had faced. Yet Stella hadn't abandoned Joshua to escape alone.

In fact, it could be said that Stella had never abandoned Joshua.

In that moment, he suddenly understood why Joshua, despite having so many other options, was so devoted to Stella.

Joshua had gotten the response he wanted.

But he hadn't.

He had nothing.

All he ever received were pathetic handouts.

Leaning back in the car seat, Leonard watched as Aurora's silhouette shrank and then vanished from his sight.

He was badly injured. His leg was almost completely numb, and he couldn't even get out of the car. If Aurora had paid a little more attention, she would have noticed he was hurt.

But she hadn't.

Leonard looked away, gazing up at the sky, his heart utterly calm.

When you do enough evil, you eventually face the consequences. But he had never been afraid of retribution. Without it, he wouldn't have survived this long.

What goes around comes around. Just as those people had died at his hands, there would come a day when he would die at someone else's in the same way.

-

When Leonard woke up, he found he wasn't dead. Instead, he was lying in a hospital bed.
