The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance novel Chapter 2213

Even if Sherman's father had no previous ambition to seize the empire, he would be forced to fight for it now just to survive.

The Burton family was plunging into an all-out bloodbath.

A family historically renowned for its impenetrable unity was now violently fracturing.

Internal rot was always infinitely deadlier than external enemies.

An empire with foundations this deep had actually been shaken to its core.

Stella, who effectively operated at the level of a family head herself, knew exactly how nearly impossible it was to topple an established aristocratic family.

Even if a patriarch died, the organization and its corporations were designed to continue running flawlessly.

Yet here they were. The patriarch was still alive, but the Burton family was now hurtling unstoppably toward complete destruction.

Even though she had weathered her fair share of brutal storms, she was entirely stunned by the sheer, flawless brilliance of this interlocking trap.

Stella couldn't stop herself from looking at the man standing beside her.

Before meeting Joshua, Stella had never believed that a single individual possessed the power to single-handedly annihilate a century-old dynasty.

But after knowing Joshua, she was absolutely certain that if anyone on earth could pull it off, it was him.

As if sensing her intense scrutiny, Joshua finally tore his gaze away from the bloody, screaming spectacle.

He looked down at her. "Why are you staring at me like that, Miss Cameron?"

Stella asked point-blank, "Was this... your doing?"

Joshua arched an eyebrow perfectly. "Which part?"

Seeing him play the innocent fool, she decided to strip away the pretense entirely.

She maintained fierce eye contact. "Sellers being poisoned. Sherman being exposed. The uncle and nephew completely slaughtering each other. Did you orchestrate this?"

Joshua flashed a faint, easy smile. "I hold absolutely no grudges against the Burton family. Why would I do such a thing? You're giving me far too much credit."

Stella wasn't going to be brushed off that easily. "But you knew something was going to happen tonight, didn't you?"
