The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance novel Chapter 1667

He knew perfectly well that even if he killed Joshua, Stella wouldn't treat him any better. In fact, she would never treat any man better than she treated Joshua.

Almost as a form of self-torture, he spent his days observing their every move. He wanted to see just how good Stella would be to Joshua. The feeling was like twisting the knife in his own wound.

Coleman burst into the hospital room, demanding angrily, "Stella, where did you take Aurora?!"

The sudden intrusion was like a splash of cold water, snapping Stella back to reality. She shoved Joshua away, an inexplicable sense of shame washing over her as if she'd been caught in the act.

Joshua stumbled back a few steps, his gaze turning icy and hostile as he looked at Coleman.

Stella took several deep breaths, gradually calming down. She didn't dare to look in Joshua's direction. "Take her? Aurora is my blood relative. Why would I do something like that?"

Her response left Coleman speechless for a few seconds before he let out a cold laugh. "Blood relative? Ha, Stella, stop pretending. When have you ever treated Aurora like family?"

Stella smiled faintly. "That's a strange thing to say. If I didn't see you as family, why would I have come back to the Williams family at all?"

Coleman retorted coldly, "Because you're greedy for the Williams family fortune!"

"I'm greedy for the fortune, I admit it," Stella said. "If Jonathan and you aren't, then transfer your shares to me. If Aurora isn't, she can leave The Williams Group. If you do that, I'll be the first to admit how noble and morally superior you all are."
