The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance novel Chapter 2209

Leonard's voice was devoid of emotion. "Are you stalling me on his behalf?"

Leonard was, after all, the head of a powerful syndicate; playing petty tricks in front of him was pointless.

Juniper said, "Joshua despises you. You really shouldn't hover around Miss Cameron so much."

Leonard remained expressionless. "Stella despises you too. I don't see you keeping your distance from Joshua."

Juniper raised her index finger and wagged it gently.

"First of all, Miss Cameron doesn't hate me. Second, if she and Joshua actually get together, I will voluntarily back off and never disturb them.

As for you, Mr. Lerman, do you dare make such a promise?"

Leonard's gaze turned dark and dangerous.

Juniper smiled. "Mr. Lerman, when she is single, you have every right to pursue her.

But once she's in a committed relationship, using underhanded tactics to interfere is a bit immoral, don't you think?

I admit my own moral standards aren't exactly sky-high, but playing the role of the other woman is a line I won't cross."

Leonard wasn't an idiot; he heard the blatant implications in her words.

He scoffed coldly. "You really do know everything. And since you know everything, does that mean he knows everything, too?"

Juniper laughed. "Just because I know everything doesn't mean Joshua does.

Your logic is truly touching, Mr. Lerman."

"Don't think I can't see right through your feelings for Joshua," Leonard said icily. "I don't care what your agenda is, but if you dare hurt Stella, I will end you."

Unwilling to waste another breath on her, Leonard pushed past Juniper and headed straight for Stella.

However, the second he barely brushed against her, Juniper lost her balance and dramatically collapsed onto the floor.

A flash of cunning mischief danced in Juniper's eyes as she looked up at him.

Then, raising her voice, she cried out, "Mr. Lerman, why would you shove me? I twisted my ankle!"
