chapter1644

The assistant was completely stunned.

How could these be the words of the ambitious, ruthless Leonard of the past, the one who would stop at nothing to achieve his goals?

Back then, Aurora liked strong men.

So, Leonard had declared he would become the strongest, no matter the cost.

Yet, in such a short time, he was suddenly talking about doing what he wanted to do.

And what was it that he wanted to do?

Watch Stella all day? Follow her around?

The assistant was about to offer some advice when he heard Leonard say, "Find a hacker and get me the surveillance footage of Stella from the palace."

The assistant was speechless.

He wasn't sure when it started, but he felt his boss was becoming more and more unstable.

Every day, it was either watching Stella or following Stella.

He seemed to be curious about everything she did.

And yet, on the rare occasions they met, he wouldn't try to make peace or apologize. Instead, he would taunt her with cold, sarcastic remarks.

...It was all starting to seem a bit psychotic.

Harold was an excellent assistant; he had arranged everything perfectly.

After they boarded the private jet, a team of professional doctors began to disinfect and bandage Joshua's wound.

Only then did Stella's tense nerves finally begin to relax.

Watching Joshua, who was surrounded by the medical team, Stella remembered something she had overlooked.

"Harold, what were you guys doing in Germany?"

Harold knew Joshua's reason for being there and had no intention of hiding it from her.

"Mr. Gardner came to give Ms. Cameron a surprise."

Harold glanced carefully in Joshua's direction and lowered his voice. "Ms. Cameron, was it a pleasant surprise... or just a shock?"

Stella was at a loss for words.

At that moment, with the situation so critical, she hadn't felt surprised or shocked. It just felt... unbelievable.

It seemed that every time she was in trouble, Joshua would appear out of nowhere.

At that thought, Stella turned to look at Joshua, only to find him looking right back at her.

For some reason, the words he had spoken to her not long ago echoed in her mind. "Star, use me to climb your way to the top."

Meanwhile, the Williams family was also closely monitoring the situation with the Wright family.

When they learned that Prince Wright hadn't made it, the faces of Jonathan, Coleman, and Aurora turned grim.

However, when they heard that the palace in Germany had been set on fire, their expressions became even more dramatic.

Coleman gritted his teeth. "Murder and arsoft Joshua is a complete madman who will stop at nothing if Stella keeps associating with a man like that, she'll face the consequences sooner or later!"

Coleman was seething. They had paid such a high price, pulled so many strings,

and spent so much time preparing just to get in with the Wright family.

And just like that, Joshua had destroyed it all.

Coleman clenched his fists. "Joshua crippled Leonard, tricked Israel out of his shares, and then openly threw money at The Burton Group. If

hen

hadn't spent all that time and money helping Stella as a diversion, she never would have been able to take over Sellers Burton's market share so easily and leave Sellers scrambling. Jonathan, haven't you noticed? He's been systematically weakening the Williams family!"

Jonathan pondered this for a few seconds, his eyes darkening as something occurred to him.

"Joshua has acted both proactively

and reactively. He went after

Leopard and Seffers proactively. But with Israel, he was reactive, turning their own plan against them."

Aurora seemed to grasp the deeper meaning in his words and looked at him.

"Jonathan, are you saying..."
