The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance novel Chapter 938

“I’ll be joining The Williams Group soon, taking part in the company’s decision-making.”

The woman’s bright eyes fixed on him. “Mr. Lerman, you’ve taught me something important: power is a woman’s best armor.

Once I’m inside The Williams Group, I’ll make sure Aurora is thrown out.

My mother was the one who fought for The Williams Group’s survival—anyone has the right to join, except for her.

When that happens, all her ambition and dreams will be shattered. She’ll be left with nothing, clinging to a man’s charity like a withering vine...”

Stella’s words were cut short by a vicious slap across her face.

Leonard glared at her with open disgust. “So you’ve finally dropped the act, Stella?

I told you before—anyone who tries to hurt Aurora, family or not, I will show no mercy.”

His strike was brutal. Stella’s vision spun and her ears rang, the force leaving her cheek swelling instantly and a thin line of blood trickling from the corner of her mouth. Her hair fell messily around her face.

Tears welled in Abby’s eyes. “Star!”

It took Stella a long moment to compose herself. When she finally managed to speak, her voice was hoarse. “Then you’d better kill me now, because otherwise I’ll make sure Aurora suffers.”

A chilling, murderous glint flickered in Leonard’s eyes.

“Don’t think for a second that I won’t.”

He took a step toward her, only to be held back by Sellers.

Sellers murmured quietly, “Leonard, she’s probably trying to provoke you.”

Even in a rage, Leonard knew he couldn’t actually kill Stella. Her death would open up a mess of trouble—and, more importantly, Aurora would never forgive him.
