The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance novel Chapter 2203

Jonathan was skeptical. "Joshua is terrifyingly intelligent. You really think he won't see through such a cheap trick?"

Harland smiled. "He might see through other people's tricks with ease, but when it comes to his own... that's a different story. The deeper his feelings for Stella, the harder it will be for him to stay rational. Honestly, the man is practically flawless. Whether you come at him with shadows or daylight, no one is his match. But the world demands balance, and everything has a counter. His feelings are his fatal weakness. No matter how brilliant a man is, once jealousy and care take root, he'll trip over his own feet. Unless a person doesn't truly love, or is some kind of deity, it's almost impossible to stay clear-headed in love."

Jonathan was persuaded. "You certainly understand matters of the heart."

Harland's tone was breezy. "However, I must remind you—if Aurora is the one to blow the whistle, there's no telling whether Joshua will just kill her on the spot."

Jonathan fell silent for a few seconds before speaking in a low voice. "And if this move fails too?"

Harland's eyes grew dark. "Then we'll come up with another plan."

...

In the dimly lit back garden, a stealthy figure crept into a secluded corner.

He looked around nervously. "Mr. Moore, are you there?"

A moment later, a silhouette emerged from the darkness.

Seeing the man, Joel Keane let out a breath of relief, then asked anxiously, "Mr. Moore, were you satisfied with how things were handled this time?"

The man hidden in the shadows didn't show his face, merely offering a casual word of praise.

"Well done."

Joel instantly looked thrilled. "It's an honor to work for you, Mr. Moore. If you have any further instructions, just give the word."

If anyone saw this—Joel, a young master of the Keane family, acting so submissively toward someone—their jaws would hit the floor.
