The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance novel Chapter 2224

It was blatantly obvious—this was a calculated psychological attack.

If Juniper Croft dared to provoke him like this, there was no telling how arrogant she would be in front of Stella Cameron!

The dark, violent impulses Leonard had buried deep inside for years began to stir dangerously.

...

For days on end, Leonard received a barrage of bragging texts from Juniper.

He ignored almost all of them.

Until one message caught his eye: "Sigh, I don't really have any friends here. I have to go wedding shopping all by myself. I'd love to ask Ms. Cameron to come with me."

"That way, she could give me some fashion advice."

"Mr. Lerman, do you think she'd say yes if I asked her?"

Unable to hold back any longer, Leonard finally replied.

"Don't you dare?!"

Juniper texted back: "Now that you mention it, maybe I shouldn't. What if I provoke Ms. Cameron so much she decides to crash the wedding and steal the groom?"

"Never mind, I'll just keep using you as my sounding board, Mr. Lerman."

"You have to give me good advice, or else I'll have no choice but to bother Ms. Cameron."

"I wonder if seeing all this would break her heart?"

Reading her words, Leonard let out a dark, humorless chuckle.

He had never met a woman so obnoxiously smug in his entire life.

The next day, Leonard received yet another message from Juniper.

This time, it was a photo.

"The ring I bought last time was for Joshua. But today, I found a different ring in his drawer."

"It's a woman's ring. Do you think Joshua is planning to surprise me with it on our wedding day?"

Following that, Juniper sent a close-up photo of the ring's inner band.

"Do you know what these two 'X's mean?"

Leonard's grip on his phone tightened.

The ring in the photo clearly belonged to Stella.
