The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance

Chapter 957

"Something happened?" Stella's expression flickered. “What's wrong with him?"

Abby, clearly delighted by the news of Leonard's misfortune, couldn't hide her excitement.

She said, "Early this morning, Leonard was attacked during the contract signing. It's all over the trending news."

"The Lerman family has some major business deal going on with Lythania. The signing today was a huge event-they even streamed it live, worldwide."

For a family as powerful as the Lermans, sealing a strategic partnership with a nation was hardly out of the ordinary. A global live stream was just business as usual.

Abby launched into a detailed retelling of what she'd seen in the trending video.

"Leonard-who knows if he was being chased by a hitman-showed up at the signing with a gash across his face and a leg injury. He actually rolled in on a wheelchair."

She glanced around, then lowered her voice conspiratorially. "Maybe it was Neville's people, helping you out behind the scenes."
