The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance novel Chapter 1751

"You could use the power at my disposal to take over as the head of the Williams family."

The Lerman family had been in Solmaris for years, possessing resources and influence far beyond what most people could imagine.

While The Burton Group dominated the medical sector, the Lerman family, with its control over the underworld, was not to be underestimated.

The Lermans were involved in numerous gray-market businesses, such as arms dealing and casinos—highly profitable enterprises. Although these industries were legal in Solmaris, many of them operated on the fringes of the law.

Consequently, an entrepreneur like Skyler Williams, who kept his business completely transparent and avoided such ventures, looked down on the Lerman family. However, the Lermans' intelligence network was undeniably effective, so Skyler had to turn a blind eye to Aurora Williams's contact with Leonard Lerman.

If Stella Cameron were to gain control of the Lerman family, there would be so much more she could accomplish. With their power, she could use a few strategic moves to force even the shareholders who supported Skyler to switch sides. After all, everyone had seen what Leonard was capable of.

Combined with the cards she already held, she could even sideline Skyler completely.

Stella looked at Leonard. "What exactly do you want me to do?"

Leonard replied, "Just treat me the way you treat Joshua Gardner."

Treat him the way she treated Joshua? Didn't that mean... being a couple with him?

The thought of being intimate with Leonard made Stella's stomach turn with revulsion. No amount of money could make her endure that.

"Sorry, I can't do that."

Leonard seemed to know there were some things Stella wouldn't do. "If you don't want any physical intimacy, I won't force you. I will fully respect your wishes."

Stella knew that, for now, her only option was to placate Leonard. She didn't even know where she was; confronting him head-on would be pointless and painful.
