The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance novel Chapter 1217

"But…" Stella looked at Antoney, her expression serious. "I can't be sure Abby's information is real. If it's a trap, Leonard will have his forces waiting at the transaction point. That would make your position the most dangerous."

There was no way to know if Abby had been coerced into making that call. But since she had provided a time and location, any trap would most likely be sprung on Antoney's team. They had already planned for that contingency.

Antoney sneered. "A cold-hearted bastard like Leonard would never guess our real objective is to rescue Abby."

Stealing the shipment was a bonus; Abby was the primary goal.

"We also can't rule out a double bluff," Stella countered. "What if he anticipates our plan? Then Joshua's team would be walking into the real trap."

They had considered every possibility. The risk of a trap at the estate was not insignificant. That was why Stella's role as coordinator was so crucial—she could relay information between both teams and determine where the real danger lay. Or, perhaps, it was all a feint by Leonard.

After finalizing their plans, they went their separate ways.

On the rooftop of a nearby skyscraper, Foreman slowly lowered a pair of binoculars. Thanks to the spyware on Stella's phone, he knew their entire plan. He had already dispatched his own men to covertly protect Stella, and had made arrangements to support Antoney's team as well. Leonard was Star's enemy, which made him Foreman's enemy. He would gladly help her rob him.

As for Joshua…

A sinister smile spread across Foreman's lips. He would personally lead a team to rescue Abby. And during the chaos, Joshua would die.

He had already sent an anonymous tip to Leonard. A man as paranoid as Leonard wouldn't ignore such a warning, even if he didn't fully believe it. The tip would draw Leonard's attention back to the estate, which would not only protect Star but also ensure Joshua's demise. It was a perfect plan.
