The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance novel Chapter 1737

Beckett was speechless.

Laurel Quinn softened her tone. "Beckett, I spent countless hours and all my energy saving Joshua. You can't destroy my hard work.

"Besides, don't you admire powerful geniuses the most?

"If you actually managed to kill him, you'd lose the one person in the world worth chasing."

Beckett was silent for a few seconds before saying, "You're overthinking it. I don't have what it takes to kill him. I'd be lucky if he doesn't destroy me first."

People like Beckett were incredibly harsh to those they looked down upon.

But they could be surprisingly tolerant of those they admired.

Otherwise, he would have exploded back when Joshua stole the sister he had cherished and protected for years.

Laurel Quinn wasn't worried about their fights.

They had similar training, so killing each other wouldn't be easy.

Laurel Quinn finally managed a slight smile. "But I suspect Aurora won't give up on recruiting you so easily."

Given Beckett's status and his conflict with Joshua, he was a target Aurora would never let go of easily.

Laurel Quinn guessed that Aurora would approach Beckett again.

Beckett, however, didn't give Aurora a second thought. He despised women who used their looks to get ahead.

At the Williams estate.

Before Coleman could go looking for Jonathan, Jonathan came to him.

In the study, Jonathan asked, "Coleman, what are your thoughts on what happened today?"

Coleman knew Jonathan was sounding him out.

After all, his behavior earlier had been highly unusual.

Coleman didn't hide anything. Instead, he asked, "Jonathan, why exactly did Mom leave the family all those years ago?"

Jonathan replied, "You already know the story. It was because she didn't approve of Aurora joining the family. She left in a fit of anger."
