The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance novel Chapter 1514

"I said I must have misheard. Is there anything else?" Leonard replied.

Aurora was at a loss for words.

In that moment, she felt as if she had never truly known him.

Aurora had the call on speakerphone, and Leonard's words echoed clearly for everyone to hear.

It wasn't just Aurora; the members of the Burton and Williams families all felt a surreal sense of absurdity, as if they had called the wrong person.

For a moment, everyone was stunned into silence.

Even the usually boisterous Israel was speechless.

Sellers was the first to react, snatching the phone from Aurora's hand.

"Misheard? You misheard something this important?

Leonard, are you messing with us?

Or do you think we're that easy to fool?"

"Then you should ask Sherman," Leonard said impatiently. "When he called me, he whined and rambled on with a bunch of nonsense about Israel and how Aurora couldn't take the fall… making it sound like he wanted me to have someone beat him up."

All eyes turned to Sherman.

Sherman felt incredibly wronged. "Uncle, I didn't! The person I told him to attack was Stella, not Israel!

I know Israel is Aurora's brother!"

"Then why were you bringing up Israel for no reason?" Leonard retorted coldly.

Sherman felt he was being framed. "I was just saying that Israel saw Stella looking triumphant at the company. I never asked you to attack Israel…"

Leonard's voice grew even more impatient. "I was busy at the time. I probably didn't hear clearly… Is there anything else?"

It wasn't just Aurora who found Leonard strange; even Sellers thought his behavior was utterly bizarre.

Sellers demanded, "Let's say you misheard about Israel. What about Sherman?"

"I don't know," Leonard replied.

Sellers laughed in fury. "Leonard, are you trying to use us to eliminate your rivals? Are you trying to make the Burton and Williams families turn on each other?"
