The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance novel Chapter 915

Stella’s heart sank. She hurriedly asked, “What happened?”

Could this really be Leonard’s doing?

But it had only been a few days—had Haynes run into trouble already?

Haynes had always been wary of Leonard. He was cautious by nature. There was no way he would fall into a trap so easily.

Benson spoke, his tone somber. “It’s like this: Mr. O’Brien’s sister, Miss Callie O’Brien, was cornered this morning and called Mr. O’Brien for help. When he went to rescue her, he was ambushed by hired killers. He’s gravely injured at the moment.”

Benson let out a weary sigh.

“The attackers must’ve been waiting there for a long time, just for Mr. O’Brien to show up. Callie was only the bait—their real target was him.”

Still, it didn’t add up. For Haynes to end up this badly hurt—it felt almost impossible.

Benson continued, “Before Mr. O’Brien lost consciousness, he managed to say one thing to me. That’s actually why I’m calling you, Ms. Cameron—to pass on his message.”

Stella’s grip tightened around the phone, her knuckles turning white. “What did he say?”

Benson’s voice was grave. “He said there’s a traitor close to him.”

Stella froze. Against her will, a face flashed through her mind—Foreman Richards.

All this time, Foreman had helped her get messages out, saved her from more than one scheme by Rachel and Jasper Wilkinson. Those two had suffered quite a few losses because of him.

And when trouble hit the Wilkinson Group, Foreman was the first to step up and help.

He clearly valued friendship—he wouldn’t betray Haynes, let alone put him in mortal danger.
