The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance

Chapter 1012

Aurora hesitated for a moment before speaking. "Maybe she's just still upset about what happened last time."

After Stella and her friends left, Foreman seemed to have finally found a topic worth discussing. Grinning, he turned to Joshua. "Joshua, you seem to know the Lerman family's heiress pretty well, don't you?"

Joshua replied coolly, "Not that well."

Joshua shot him a look, eyes full of meaning.

"Mr. Richards, you're always so busy with work, yet you still find time to notice what others are up to-especially Simone... Tell me, is it because you're curious about her that you pay such close attention?"

After all, things between Star and her brother are practically at war, and yet Miss Lerman still takes an interest in Star's friends... I really can't figure out what's going on in her head.
