The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance novel Chapter 2162

Leonard's gaze grew darker. "For someone who hasn't been in Aetheria long, you certainly know a lot about my business."

Joshua smiled faintly. "I can't help it. You were just so high-profile back then. You didn't hide a thing. Anyone in this circle can rattle off two or three stories about you and Aurora.

Even after she got married and had a kid, plenty of people still love gossiping about your deep devotion to her. It's hard not to know."

Joshua wasn't wrong. Even after all these years, anytime Aurora showed up at an event, people still reminisced about how popular she used to be, with countless powerful patriarchs vying for her attention.

Among them, Leonard had been the most devoted of all.

Leonard's expression remained icy. "Aurora isn't my ex. We were strictly friends. We were never together.

As a family head, you should know better than to trust rumors.

Since when did you become one of those gossiping housewives, repeating whatever you hear?"

Joshua let out a soft chuckle, entirely unbothered.

"But I heard the guests say you once transferred three percent of your shares to her as a breakup fee.

If you were never together, why would you give her shares for absolutely no reason?

Was it because you wanted to give her the most loyal blessing and gift, even as she married another man?

If that's the case, your devotion to Ms. Williams truly is unwavering. It's admirable, really."

Leonard's dark eyes instantly turned lethal.

Joshua's words seemed light and casual, but they were incredibly venomous.

If Leonard denied she was his ex, he would have to admit he had been so obsessed with her that he just handed over company shares.

Despite his low emotional intelligence, Leonard knew you shouldn't constantly talk about the woman you used to love in front of the woman you currently love.
