Solmaris Airport.


    Aurora had been waiting for three hours. Jonathan had informed her of Leonard''s whereabouts.


    Leonard was also in Germany.


    They had originally assumed Joshua was the one who set the fire at the German pce. However, the result of the investigation had left them all speechless once again.


    The fire had been set by Leonard.


    Why would Leonard start a fire?


    In the past, the Williams family would have certainly believed Leonard wanted to eliminate Prince Wright as a romantic rival and had torched the pce in a fit of rage.


    But now...


    Just as Ste and Joshua were being pursued after killing Prince Wright, Leonard sets a fire in the German pce. No matter how you looked at it, it seemed like an act to help Ste, not one born of jealousy.


    Aurora watched the nesnding and taking off, lost in thought.


    Simone had said that ever since Leonard found out Ste was ''Summer,'' he had be unusually focused on her, and might have even fallen for her.


    But thest time Leonard saw her, he said he had destroyed his old art collection.


    Which one of them was telling the truth?


    Based on her understanding of Leonard and Simone, she should have leaned towards believing Leonard. But his recent actions were so strange that she couldn''t help but believe what Simone had said.


    Her only option was to wait for Leonard to fly back to Solmaris and ask him herself.


    Thinking of the Wright family, a shadow fell over her face. They had prepared so much this time, intending to take down both Wright siblings in one fell swoop. In the end, not only did Prince Wright die, but they had also offended the Wright family.


    They had been repeatedly


    outmaneuvered by Ste, and now they had fost a crucial piece in their game. Aurora''s mood was at an


    svern


    all-time low. She had never considered Ste a threat before but How Ste had be her biggest obstacle.


    After some time, Aurora''s phone rang. It was Coleman.


    "Leonard''s ne hasnded."


    Snapping out of her thoughts, Aurora replied, "I know."


    After hanging up, Aurora went to the airport exit to wait for Leonard.


    About half an hourter, Leonard''s figure appeared in her line of sight.


    Aurora put on her signature smile and walked over to greet him. "Leonard, you''re finally back."


    Seeing Aurora, Leonard''s brow furrowed imperceptibly.


    "What are you doing here?"


    After he had drawn a clear line with


    drawn


    Aurora, she would still greet him at


    the unavoidable social gatherings they both attended, but she had never actively sought


    him out again. This had pleased Leonard making him feel that his decision to pay her off had been the right one.


    Seeing her here now was quite a surprise.


    Aurora''s smile was impable. "I came to see you about something, Leonard," she said softly.


    Leonard''s voice and gaze were cold and distant. "Aurora, I believe we''ve already reached an understanding."


    Her smile faltered for a second but


    quickly returned. "Don''t worry, Leonard I''m not here to ask you for a favor. I just have some questions for you about Star."  fo


    At the mention of Ste''s name, Leonard''s eyes shifted almost imperceptibly.


    He no longer refused her. "Let''s talk in the car."


    Though Aurora was smiling, her heart couldn''t help but sink. It was obvious that he had only changed his mind because he heard Ste''s name.
