"Rachel Pearce attended university in Solmaris, majoring in violin. She happened to have a performance there that day."
Joshua looked thoughtful. "Rachel Pearce... Why does that name sound so familiar? Have I heard it somewhere?"
Stella lowered her eyes in thought for a few seconds before deciding to be honest.
"This Rachel Pearce is actually my ex-husband's first love. She once ruined my marriage.
"Back then, the situation between my ex-husband, Rachel, and me was quite a big deal. We were frequently in the news."
She took a deep breath at this point.
"Actually, it didn't take me long to find out about Rachel after I started investigating for you.
"Because of my personal grudge against her, I... pretended I didn't find anything.
"I also asked Laurel not to tell you."
Stella lowered her head. "I'm sorry, I was being selfish."
If Joshua did even a little digging into Rachel Pearce, he would find out she was closely tied to Stella.
Although Stella also disliked Rachel, compared to Aurora, Rachel's level of threat and maliciousness were lower.
Furthermore, Rachel's current whereabouts were unknown, making her quite difficult to track down.
Of course, the more important reason Stella was willing to confess this was to use it to tell Joshua that she had been married and had a child.
Stella wasn't entirely oblivious. She had clearly sensed that Joshua seemed highly interested in her.
She wanted to nip that interest in the bud.
After all, a man like Joshua had way too many options.
There was no need for him to fall for a woman with a failed marriage behind her.
As expected, Joshua glanced at her after hearing this.
"You were married?"
Stella lowered her gaze. "Yes, I also have a son. He's nine years old this year."

The same rotation blaming Stella trying to get her destroyed. Isn't the writer tired of writing the same foolishness overand over again? This is exhausting....
Can’t wait to see what joshua will do...
Why would the author of this book do that to Stella? Such cruelty!...
So many chapters are incomplete. Missing pages. Hard to get continuity...
