The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance novel Chapter 1673

Though Skyler said that, Jonathan knew he had never favored Leonard from the start. Now that Leonard was disabled, it was even less likely that Skyler would ever agree to let Aurora marry him.

"Aurora is probably no longer in Solmaris," Coleman said. "Leonard searching high and low like this is likely a wasted effort."

"Even though she's probably not in Solmaris, we can't rule out the possibility of a misdirection," Jonathan countered. "Letting Leonard turn the city upside down is a good thing."

"I've spoken with King Wright multiple times, and he denies kidnapping Aurora," Skyler said. "However, I've sent people to keep a close watch on Germany. The moment Aurora appears there..." A sharp, cold light gleamed in Skyler's eyes. "Jonathan, you will then join forces with the Burton, Lerman, and Chapman families to go and demand an explanation from him."

King Wright received a report from his subordinate confirming that they had successfully captured Aurora alive.

"Your Majesty, what are your orders? Shall we secretly transport her back to Germany first?"

King Wright loathed Aurora, but he knew the Williams family was watching him closely. If they found any proof, they would likely use it as an excuse to attack him. Without evidence, they were powerless against him, even if they knew he was behind it. He wasn't foolish enough to make such a mistake.

After a moment of thought, King Wright said, "Gavin, find a few women who resemble Aurora and send them to Germany. It will create a diversion and buy us some time. As for Aurora..." A dark smile played on his lips. "Send her directly to the Lawless Zone and sell her to a brothel. A high-society girl like her should be quite popular in a place like that."

Joshua raised an eyebrow. "A cat? What kind of cat?"

"Probably a pet cat?" Abby said casually. "Still, it's pretty surprising that a monster like Leonard would keep a pet. I'd expect him to have a tiger or a lion. I never figured him for a cat person."

Abby pictured Leonard holding a cat and shuddered. The image was too unsettling to dwell on.

Joshua's dark eyes swirled with a deep, hidden light. He looked at Stella. "Star, I remember you and Abby posted online a while ago, looking for someone to adopt a stray cat. Who did you end up giving it to?"
