"Yes," Jonathan said. "Israel has several broken ribs. Sherman's condition is even worse. They say his leg was broken, and he lost a few teeth."
Jonathan hesitated for a moment before adding, "The attackers were ruthless. I heard Sherman was almost… emasculated. He nearly lost his manhood…"
It took Stella a long moment to process the news.
She finally understood why Jonathan had called to ask if she was responsible.
She had a terrible relationship with both of them.
With them both being attacked at the same time, she was naturally the prime suspect.
Just as Stella was about to ask more, she heard Jonathan's assistant in the background.
"Mr. Williams, we've identified the people who attacked the second young master.
It was… it was…"
The assistant suddenly became hesitant.
Jonathan frowned. "What is it? Is there someone in Solmaris the Williams family can't afford to offend?"
The assistant took a deep breath. "It seems… it seems it was Leonard's men."
An awkward, heavy silence fell.
Jonathan had considered Stella, Joshua, even Violet Yancey, or one of Israel's many enemies.
But he never would have imagined it would be Leonard.
He thought he must have misheard. "Who did you say?"
The assistant stammered, "Leo… Leonard…"
It wasn't surprising that Leonard was capable of such a thing.
But why would Leonard attack Israel?
Even for Aurora's sake, it made no sense for him to go after Israel.
Desperate for answers, Jonathan quickly said to Stella, "I'll talk to you later," and hung up.
He immediately dialed Leonard's number. "Leonard, did you have Israel beaten up?"
At that moment, Leonard was standing before the painting of the woman's back, studying the figure.
Perhaps it was just his imagination, but he thought the back in the painting looked a bit like Stella.
When Jonathan's call came through, Leonard answered distractedly. "Mr. Williams, we agreed that from now on, the affairs of the Williams family have nothing to do with me.
