The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance novel Chapter 2125

Instead, Stella had hijacked the entire thing halfway through.

There was a high chance that Stella had purposely orchestrated the racing incident last night.

She must have secretly practiced on that track countless times.

Stella had deliberately allowed herself to be cornered just to play the victim, knowing Joshua wouldn't be able to stand by and watch without intervening.

If Aurora had known... she would have feigned a little vulnerability herself.

Aurora wasn't stupid. How could she not see the sparks of interest Joshua was developing for Stella?

Otherwise, she wouldn't have been in such a rush to invite him out to pry for information.

Just a little while ago, someone had snapped photos of Stella and Leonard at the cafe.

Over the past three years, she had seen similar photos countless times. She had known about Leonard's cafe for ages and rarely gave it a second thought.

But then it hit her: why not use this to expose Stella's true colors, making Joshua lose interest and thoroughly despise her?

So, she teamed up with Queenie to stage this little performance, even making sure Stella and Leonard trended online.

Stella's hype from last night hadn't died down yet, so this new scandal dropped at the perfect time without seeming forced.

Seeing that Joshua was indeed curious, Aurora masked the dark glint in her eyes and handed her phone over.

"It's not really big news. Probably just the media chasing shadows."

Joshua took the phone and swiped through the photos Queenie had sent, one by one.

Aurora kept a close eye on his expression.

His face was an impenetrable mask. He didn't so much as twitch a brow, looking exactly like a man reading about total strangers.

After a moment, he handed the phone back.

Seeing him so indifferent, not even offering a single comment, Aurora was just about to ask a probing question when a familiar female voice rang out behind her.

"Joshua, Ms. Williams. What a coincidence."
