The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance novel Chapter 1872

Thinking of this, Skyler sighed heavily again.

His gaze swept over the faces of Israel, Coleman, and Stella.

When his eyes landed on Stella, he paused for a moment before saying, "I'm going to check on Aurora. You all should get some rest, too."

With that, Skyler turned and left.

Because of Aurora's scandal, Israel had also been thoroughly humiliated at the banquet.

As he was leaving, he noticed many of his rivals looking at him with undisguised schadenfreude.

He could already imagine the ridicule he would face from now on.

This scandal was even uglier than the one he had caused when he was with Violet Yancey.

At least he could marry Violet to take responsibility.

Could Aurora marry the two Fordham family brothers?

They were already dead.

And even if they weren't, were people like that marriage material?

And she had gotten involved with two of them at once.

Israel grumbled under his breath, "Aurora has really made it so I can never show my face in public again. I bet the shareholders at the company will want to kill her tomorrow!"

Coleman remained silent, but he glanced over at Stella.

Stella lowered her eyes slightly. "If there's nothing else, I'll be going."

Although she had been recovering from her injuries lately, something this major had happened. She would definitely be at the company meeting tomorrow.

It was almost impossible to find a perfect solution to this crisis.

-

The next day, despite Skyler's best efforts to suppress the news, stories about Aurora's ordid threesome still hit the trending topics.

Aurora's engagement party had been broadcast live worldwide.

Although the explicit footage was only about ten seconds long, its circulation online was enough to cause a massive shockwave.

Some "helpful" trolls who had been at the scene even shared the complete, uncensored, high-definition version.

Even Leonard Lerman, who was still recovering from his injuries, received a call from Simone Lerman.

After Stella's surgery was successful, Leonard had contacted Simone to tell her he wasn't dead.

His injuries from the fall into the sea hadn't healed, and he had also been poisoned, so he couldn't show his face for the time being.

Simone wanted to visit Leonard but was turned down.

He couldn't let too many people know that he was currently recuperating at Mr. Gardner's place.

Though she couldn't see Leonard, Simone was still excited to share the gossip with him.

"This time, no matter how silver-tongued the Williams family tries to be, it's probably useless."

If nothing else, Leonard controlled nearly half the media landscape in Solmaris. When it came to suppressing news, none of the other major families could compare.

Leonard had a ruthless way of doing things and was often embroiled in negative press, requiring constant public relations management.

So, he had gone all in and seized control of the media.

Even though it was only half, and some negative news still got out, it was enough for him.

This time, without Leonard's implicit permission, the news about Aurora might have caused a stir within their social circle, but it would have never hit the national trending topics.

If it had been contained within their circle, Aurora's reputation would have been ruined at worst, making it impossible for her to marry well.

But with the public knowing...

Aurora's future was completely finished.

To ensure the company wouldn't be affected, Aurora would likely be removed from the family business.

This was a far more devastating blow to Aurora than simply ruining her hand.

Leonard, having been fond of Aurora for so many years, knew exactly what would be the most profound way to destroy her.

Leonard was quiet for a moment before asking, "Is there anything else?"

Simone felt helpless.
