The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance novel Chapter 1829

"Of course," Aurora said. "No matter what, Star is my sister, a member of the Williams family. She deserves to have what's hers."

Foreman sneered inwardly. With Leonard's shares in hand, Aurora naturally wouldn't care about the portion Stella held herself. After all, obtaining Leonard's shares was equivalent to seizing control of the Lerman family.

Aurora didn't have many cards to play. Even if she got Stella's personal shares, she would still have to contend with Jonathan Williams. It was far more strategic to secure Leonard's portion first.

"Mr. Richards," Aurora added, "my sources tell me that if Star renounces her inheritance, Leonard's shares will be held in trust for her for five years. So, rather than having her sign a renunciation agreement, it would be better to have her sign a transfer agreement."

Foreman said coolly, "The transfer of Leonard's shares is still being processed; Star hasn't even fully taken possession of them. A stock transfer isn't as simple as a grocery run; you can't just hand them over on a whim."

Aurora chuckled softly. "You don't need to worry about that. I have my methods. All Mr. Richards needs to do is follow my instructions."

"Got it," Foreman said before hanging up.

He checked the time and decided to head to the funeral site to see the situation for himself. After such a major incident, he had to make an appearance. Until he knew Joshua's condition, he couldn't afford to leave any loose ends.

With that in mind, he drove to the scene.

-

At the funeral site, charred bodies were being carried out one by one. The scene was utterly horrific.

Foreman saw a disheveled Haynes on the phone, confirming something. When Haynes hung up, Foreman walked over, feigning ignorance.

"Haynes, I heard there was a fire at the funeral. What happened?"

Haynes glanced at him and said flatly, "The specifics are still under investigation, but we've already confirmed it was arson."

Foreman's heart leaped in alarm. They already knew it was arson?

But his face showed nothing. "Are Keen and Callie okay?"
