The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance novel Chapter 1251

Seriously, who else but family would sell something at cost with no conditions? Who just throws away that much money?

"Alright," Stella said. "I'll let Antoney know right away."

This was the next step in the plan she and Joshua had already worked out.

In light of the previous information leak, Stella had stopped making detailed plans in advance, which had left them vulnerable. Instead, she would simply inform Antoney Watson right before they were ready to execute the next phase.

And the next phase, of course, was to leak the news that Leonard had been seriously injured and hospitalized.

Any attempt by Leonard to hide something only fueled their determination to tell everyone.

Joshua added, "Leonard's injuries are serious. He'll need a long time to recover, and we can't let him have an easy time of it. Leaking this to his enemies should give him more than enough to handle."

Leonard's enemies weren't just outsiders; some were from within the Lerman family itself. On his ruthless climb to the top, he had spilled the blood of more than a few of his own kin. He could guard against external threats, but traitors within his own house were another matter entirely.

News of his injury had been kept under tight wraps, known only to his most trusted circle. Many members of the Lerman family were still in the dark. Once this information got out, Leonard wouldn't know another moment of peace.

As they were talking, a soft knock sounded at the office door.

To their surprise, it was Foreman Richards.

Since Joshua's injury, Foreman had tried to meet with Stella several times, but she had turned him down each time. She was already a master of juggling her time—caring for Joshua, managing her workload, and playing the part of Neville Connolly's fiancée. She was simply too busy to see him.

Foreman had been trying to hack into Stella's phone to see what she was up to, but she rarely sent text messages, and her activity was limited to trivial work matters. The recent rumor he'd heard, however, was clawing at him.
