The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance novel Chapter 2109

If she lost Henley's backing now, her reputation in this social circle was finished.

Aurora absolutely could not afford to throw away her connection with him.

Before she could scramble for a way to salvage the situation, Joshua casually strolled up to them.

"Ms. Williams, have you figured out how we're handling my brake failure yet?"

Henley glared at him, his eyes burning with absolute hatred.

"You actually have the nerve to show your face here?"

Joshua smiled smoothly. "If an attempted murderer like you can walk around freely, Mr. Holloway, why shouldn't I?"

Henley laughed, a harsh, furious sound. "Attempted murderer? Are you talking about yourself?"

Terrified that a brawl was about to break out, Aurora quickly stepped between them.

"Joshua, Henley, let's calm down. This has to be some kind of misunderstanding..."

Joshua cut her off with a cold, dismissive tone.

"Then would you care to explain why my brakes mysteriously failed, Ms. Williams?"

Henley scoffed aggressively. "Brake failure? When you rammed into me, your brakes seemed perfectly fine!"

Joshua shot him a lazy, predatory glance. "Then riddle me this, Mr. Holloway. If my brakes were perfectly fine, why would I intentionally total my own car just to hit yours?"

"Because you were trying to help Stella!" Henley snapped.

Joshua laughed, a dark, mocking sound. "I don't even know Stella. Why would I ruin my day to help her?

If I was going to help anyone, it would be Ms. Williams.

After all, she did me a massive favor once upon a time, and I owe her a wish."

Henley glared at him. "Do you think I'm an idiot? You literally admitted you did it on purpose earlier!

And just because you claim your brakes failed doesn't make it true.

We'll get the telemetry and have the mechanics inspect it. You don't get to just dictate the facts!"
