The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance novel Chapter 1270

Joshua had laid out her secret thoughts with unnerving precision.

How was this possible? Even if he had guessed her intentions, why would he admit it to her face? His actions made no sense. If he was a fool, how could he have read her so perfectly? And if he was brilliant, why would he reveal his hand?

Just then, a man approached her. "Ms. Williams."

She looked up, and her expression tightened. "Mark? What are you doing here?"

Mark was Leonard's personal driver, a man who had been by his side for years. She knew him well.

"This man," Mark said, gesturing to Joshua, "crashed into Mr. Lerman's car. Mr. Lerman is injured and has been rushed back to the hospital for emergency treatment." Mark's eyes were filled with accusation. "Ms. Williams, Mr. Lerman personally modified Dawnlight for you. How could you lend it to someone else?"

Aurora was no fool. In that instant, she realized she had been set up.

Taking a deep breath, Aurora struggled to regain her composure. She looked at Mark, her voice soft but firm. "Mark, this is all a misunderstanding. I will go to the hospital to see Leonard shortly and explain everything to him."

Her calm demeanor defused some of Mark's anger. He knew he had overstepped his bounds by confronting her.

He shot one last venomous look at Joshua. "Since you're here, Ms. Williams, I'll be going. I hope you can resolve this quickly and come to the hospital to see Mr. Lerman."
