The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance

Chapter 967

Chapter 967

Joshua's phone buzzed not long after. He'd finally replied.

His message was blunt: "?"

Simone typed back:

"Joshua, my older brother is Leonard. I'm sure you've heard-he was shot at the contract signing in Lythania a few days ago.

He just woke up, and he says you were the one who tried to kill him."

Joshua responded almost instantly:

"Are you sure you haven't got the wrong guy? Why would I, an ordinary person, go after the head of the Lerman family?

Miss Lerman, your brother must think much more highly of me than I deserve."

A faint smile tugged at the corner of Simone's lips as she read his message.

So Joshua still didn't realize that she already knew the truth about him.

This game was getting interesting-like a redemption quest in her favorite video games.

Simone loved this kind of challenge.

The more kindness she showed a so-called "ordinary man" like Joshua, the more moved he'd be by her. In the end, she was determined to make herself indispensable to him.

Joshua had climbed so far, so young; that alone proved his skill and cunning were at least a match for Leonard's. If the debutantes outside ever learned who Joshua really was, they'd be falling over themselves to win him over.
