The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance

Chapter 1180

Simone's face changed in an instant.

She whipped around to look at Leonard, her voice sharp with disbelief.

"What did you say? He's been married?!"

Leonard nodded. "The people trying to kill him this time-it seems it has something to do with his past marriage. That person was special to him. That's the only reason he hasn't completely wiped out his enemies. He's been holding back."

Simone's eyes went wide, her breath quickening.

"No! I don't believe it!"

"Simone, don't be naïve," Leonard said quietly. "A man like Joshua? There's no way he doesn't have a past. You've known him long enough-does he strike you as someone innocent and untouched by life?"
