The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance novel Chapter 1710

Stella's expression turned cold. "I don't think there's anything for us to talk about."

With that, she stood up and walked toward the door.

Leonard's imposing figure blocked her path.

Stella's face paled slightly as she looked at him warily.

"Leonard, what do you want?"

Thinking of the tenderness she showed Joshua compared to the guarded look and cautious attitude she had toward him, Leonard felt his breath catch in his throat.

"I'm not going to hurt you. I just want to talk."

Stella glanced toward the door, knowing that Manager Lawrence had been bought off by Leonard and wouldn't be coming back.

Although Leonard was no match for Joshua and had a prosthetic arm, her own skills were no match for a man who lived by violence. It was practically impossible.

He could probably overpower her with just one hand.

Stella hated being in the same room with someone like Leonard.

She took a deep breath. "What do you want to talk about?"

Leonard's intense gaze fixed on her face. "Sit down first."

Since he was asking her to sit, it meant he had no intention of letting her leave anytime soon.

Stella shot him a look and chose a seat farthest from him.

Leonard didn't press her, instead sitting at a reasonable distance.

He looked at Stella, his voice hoarse. "About what happened before… I was wrong. If there's any compensation you want, you can ask for anything.

As long as it's within my power, I'll do my best to make it up to you."

For a moment, Stella thought she was hearing things.

A man like Leonard could apologize?

No, more accurately, Leonard was apologizing to her?

Stella had known from the beginning that Leonard had never respected her.

And now, not only was he apologizing, but he was also offering to compensate her.

It was utterly terrifying.
