The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance novel Chapter 1024

This wasn’t just foolish—this was sheer arrogance.

Jonathan stepped in front of Skyler, who was storming forward in a rage. “Dad, please, calm down for a second…”

Skyler’s face was flushed crimson, his chest heaving with fury.

“Calm down? After what he did to Star, how am I supposed to calm down? I could tear him apart with my own hands right now!”

Stella remained unmoved, her expression cool and unshaken. “No need to go that far,” she said evenly. “According to the agreement, all we need to do is immediately cut ties with the Lerman family.”

Joshua spoke up, his tone icy. “Mr. Williams, are you this angry because you chose to believe an outsider over your own daughter? Is it your pride that’s wounded? Just a moment ago, you accused Stella of framing Leonard and trying to run away from the consequences.”

Stella raised her eyebrows, her voice light but steady. “I won’t put you through the trouble of seeking revenge for me. Let’s just stick to the agreement Leonard and I made.”

She pulled a folded contract from her purse. “This contract, signed by every member of the Williams family—including you, Dad.”

She handed it to Abby. “Abby, would you mind reading it out loud for everyone? Just so no one forgets any of the details.”
