The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance novel Chapter 2081

He looked genuinely curious. "Who exactly is going out of their way to target Ms. Williams?"

A toxic, vicious glint flashed in Queenie's eyes. "It's her half-sister—Stella Cameron!"

Joshua raised an eyebrow, feigning confusion.

"Stella Cameron? But isn't she family? Why would she want to ruin Ms. Williams?"

Queenie sneered. "They don't share the same mother. What kind of family is that? It's a miracle they haven't killed each other yet."

Joshua countered, "But from what I understand, Ms. Williams and the three Williams brothers also share a different mother, yet they seem to have an excellent relationship."

Just as Queenie was about to dismiss their bond as entirely fake, Joshua's voice cut through again.

"Could it be that Ms. Williams never actually saw them as family?"

Aurora panicked. "No, Queenie misunderstood. Stella and I just have some unresolved misunderstandings."

Queenie wasn't a complete idiot, and she quickly caught her slip-up.

If she claimed Aurora's bond with her brothers was fake, it would make Aurora look incredibly selfish and cold-blooded.

Hadn't Joshua liked Stella in the past precisely because she played the perfect, innocent victim?

Queenie quickly backpedaled. "Aurora and her brothers grew up together, so of course their bond is special.

Stella only joined the family later. She resents Aurora for living the high-society life she feels was stolen from her, which is why she targets her at every turn."

She scoffed disdainfully.

"Aurora is a biological daughter of the Williams family too. It's not like they aren't blood. What gives Stella the right to act like the entire Williams empire belongs to her?"

Joshua raised another question. "Stella's current status is practically equivalent to the head of the family.
