The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance novel Chapter 1665

Leonard was in a wheelchair, apparently being discharged. Several of his assistants were with him, carrying his luggage as they pushed him toward the exit.

Coming face to face with them, Stella stopped to let the man in the wheelchair pass first.

Leonard's dark, intense gaze fell upon her. In an instant, a chill ran down her spine as a primal sense of danger washed over her. It was even stronger than what she had felt when he'd kidnapped her.

Stella had been through a lot, and it had been a long time since she'd felt anything like this. Even during the recent events at the Wright palace, she hadn't experienced such a bone-chilling sensation.

Abby sensed it too. She instinctively stepped in front of Stella, blocking Leonard's line of sight.

Leonard glanced at Abby, then shifted his gaze away, his face expressionless.

An assistant continued to push his wheelchair, moving him past them.

Only after Leonard was a safe distance away did Abby speak. "Star, did you feel that? The way Leonard was looking at you was terrifying. It was like…"

Abby racked her brain for the right words.

"Like he wanted to eat you alive… Yeah, that's it. Star, did you do something to provoke him again recently?"

Stella replied, "He probably thinks I'm bullying Aurora or getting in her way again."

"When I saw him a while back, he seemed so much calmer," Abby said. "Even the hostility in his eyes had faded."

Stella had occasionally run into Leonard at banquets or restaurants. Wilbur and Gideon would always be on high alert, but aside from a few sarcastic remarks, Leonard had never done anything dangerous.

Wilbur had mentioned more than once that he no longer sensed any threat from Leonard. Leonard appeared in front of Stella just often enough that it seemed intentional, though it could have been a coincidence.

"It's better to be careful," Stella said. "We've caused the Williams family to suffer such a huge loss recently. They won't let it go."

"You're right, Star."
