The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance novel Chapter 2244

Leonard Lerman remained silent for a few seconds. "Stella, I told you yesterday. I don't have her. Juniper Croft managed to escape on her own."

Stella said, "Juniper called me again yesterday. She said your bodyguards sent her to another country."

"She called again?" Leonard glanced at Joshua Gardner, his expression carrying a deeper meaning.

"Think about it, Stella. If I were the one who kidnapped her, would she have the chance to make a phone call?"

Stella couldn't help but recall her own experience with being kidnapped.

When it came to abductions, Leonard was a professional.

If he had handled it himself, Juniper wouldn't have had a chance to make any calls.

At this moment, Joshua, who had been silent, finally spoke up. "That's simply because Juniper has some decent skills, which gave her the slightest window of opportunity.

Since Mr. Lerman is so confident in his kidnapping abilities, why did you say you failed to keep an eye on her and let her run away?

Don't you think your statements are a bit contradictory?"

Leonard replied coldly, "Mr. Gardner loses his bride and shows no signs of panic or anxiety, yet immediately marries someone else.

Miss Croft was completely devoted to you. Imagine how heartbroken she must be if she found out."

Joshua said, "Oh, there's no need for you to worry about that. She already knows I've always prioritized my lovers over my friends."

Leonard was speechless.

How could this man keep a straight face and blatantly declare something so shameless?

Even if Leonard hadn't known the truth before yesterday, seeing the news of Stella and Joshua's wedding today made everything click into place.

He had been played by Joshua.

And played thoroughly.

Leonard had a history, which didn't leave Stella with the best memories of him.

It was hard for her to trust him.

No matter how silver-tongued he was, explaining himself now would be an uphill battle.
