The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance novel Chapter 1796

The three Williams men—Skyler and his two sons—exchanged glances. None of them looked surprised.

Stella had disappeared shortly before Aurora did, so it was highly probable that Joshua was behind it.

But suspicion was one thing; proof was another.

It was just like how Joshua suspected Aurora was involved in Stella's disappearance but could do nothing without evidence.

Jonathan asked, "Aurora, can you tell us what happened after you were kidnapped?"

Aurora, who usually hid behind a mask of poise and grace, now had a deep, venomous resentment in her eyes.

"Joshua kept trying to force me to tell him where Stella was. When I said I didn't know, he tortured me. He had people chain my hands and feet and brought in a group of doctors—I don't know from where—who subjected me to electric shocks every day. Several times, I passed out from the shocks, only to be woken up with cold water and shocked again!"

As she spoke, Aurora trembled, her eyes filled with an uncontrollable hatred.

When she was in the Delta, although she had been violated, she hadn't endured much physical torment. Even when she'd nearly been fed to a tiger, it had been her own choice.

But this was different.

No one had ever subjected her to such humiliation.

Jonathan was livid. "Joshua has gone too far! Not only did he kidnap Aurora, but he also tortured her! Father, even if he's the head of the Gardner family, we have to teach him a lesson! Otherwise, will the Williams family become a pushover that anyone can kidnap and manipulate? Now I have reason to believe Joshua was also behind Aurora's kidnapping and transport to the Delta."

Joshua was Stella's most powerful ally—not just her strategist, but someone with a background and resources comparable to the Williams family.

Even if he couldn't take on the Williams family directly for now, Jonathan had discovered that Joshua was in the process of relocating his businesses.
