The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance novel Chapter 1704

"To you, your precious Star is the kindest person in the world. But in your heart, is Laurel just a calculating, self-serving woman?"

Joshua gave him a strange look. "The three of us have known each other for so long. Isn't it obvious what kind of people we are? Laurel Quinn isn't as kind as Star. That's just a fact, isn't it?

If you really want to compare Laurel to Star, it would be more accurate to say Laurel is more rational, clear-headed, and resourceful than Star."

Laurel's face gradually turned pale.

Beckett smiled, but the smile didn't reach his eyes, which were as cold as ice.

"More rational and clear-headed? You mean Laurel is better at weighing her options, right?

More resourceful… you mean she's more ruthless?"

Joshua smiled and clapped lightly, admitting it without hesitation.

"You really do know me. Good to know all these years weren't for nothing."

Beckett sneered, "And you're any better? You act all high and mighty in front of Stella, but you're rotten to the core.

Once Stella finds out what you're really like, do you think she'll still want to be with you?"

Beckett was fuming. If Laurel hadn't been holding him back, he would have charged forward.

This guy was just so infuriating!

He couldn't stand him, but he couldn't get rid of him either.

He had no idea what Laurel saw in him.

Joshua didn't deny it, smiling instead. "Why would I let her find out? It's better if she never knows, isn't it?"

Checking the time, Joshua asked, "It's getting late. Are you going to continue this performance for me, or…?"

Laurel cut in before Beckett could speak. "We're fine. You can go."

Joshua glanced at the two of them before turning to leave.

Beckett's voice rang out from behind him.

"Joshua, the day you get your memory back, you're going to regret this!"

Joshua's footsteps paused for just a moment before he continued on without looking back.

Watching Joshua's retreating figure, Beckett looked as if he wanted to chase after him and say more.

Laurel held him back and shook her head.
