The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance novel Chapter 1873

It seemed that nothing about Aurora could stir the slightest ripple in Leonard anymore.

She said, "Since you're back, and your shares were frozen, does that mean the shares you transferred to Stella are now void..."

Before Simone could finish, Leonard cut her off coldly.

"I never take back something I've given away."

Simone was still unwilling to give up. "But that's thirty percent of the shares! Even if you really want to compensate Stella, you don't have to give her that much, do you?

"Besides, after this incident, Aurora will be kicked out of The Williams Group. Israel and Coleman are no threat to Stella, and Jonathan is in a coma. Stella will be the unrivaled power. No one can challenge her.

"She doesn't need your shares anymore."

Leonard said, "Simone, securing a position is harder than obtaining it."

Simone was at a loss for words.

Indeed, wasn't Leonard himself a perfect example of that?

After a moment, Simone added, "But no matter what you do, Stella will never be with you. I heard that she and Joshua are already preparing to get married. Leonard, you've lost your chance. Shouldn't you just cut your losses?"

In Simone's mind, if Leonard could give up on Aurora, whom he had loved for so many years, giving up on Stella shouldn't be that difficult, right?

How long had he even known Stella?

But Leonard replied, "That's my business. It has nothing to do with anyone else."

Simone was taken aback.

"It has nothing to do with anyone else..."

His love for Stella was his own affair.

Did that mean it had nothing to do with Stella, either?

No wonder. Before he was even sure of his feelings, he was still plotting revenge and thinking about how to kill Joshua.

But after realizing he loved Stella, he started ignoring Joshua completely and never tried to drive a wedge between them.

So, in his heart, his love had always been a one-man show.

Simone was completely baffled. "Leonard, what on earth are you hoping to get out of this?"

She could understand him admiring the tenderness and devotion Stella showed Joshua, and wanting what Joshua had. But now, it was clear Stella couldn't give him the same things she gave Joshua. So what did Leonard still see in her?

Leonard looked at the wind chime made of polished seashells before him.
