The Heiress With Seven Secret Identies (Stella Shaw) novel Chapter 107

Chapter 107 Defending Her in Public

“No trouble at all,” Amber said with a dismissive wave. “It’s practically done.”

Sienna’s brow furrowed slightly.

Lucas was one thing–getting his autograph wasn’t that difficult.

But Queen? Good luck. That woman might as well be a ghost.

Seeing Amber so casually throw around promises, Sienna didn’t want to embarrass her in front of everyone–especially after the scandals that had already made Amber the punchline of every gossip column in Azure Peak City. If Sienna corrected her now, Amber wouldn’t be able to show her face here for the rest of the night.

Anyway, Queen would be at the concert. Sienna could just grab a few signatures while she was there. Sure, Queen kept to herself, but it wasn’t like she’d refuse something that small, right?

It wasn’t like Sienna was asking for anything private.

“Stick with me the night of the concert,” Sienna said smoothly. “I’ll make sure you get your autographs and your pictures.”

“Thanks, Sienna! But you still haven’t told me–is Queen actually pretty?”

Sienna gave a soft, practiced smile. “She’s gorgeous. Really gentle too. Sweet.”

“Are you two close?”

“Oh, we have a great relationship.”

At the next table, Stella let out a small laugh despite herself.

“What’s so funny?”

Elias‘ gaze was warm, his voice low and rough in that way that made everything he said sound like it mattered.

She shook her head. “Nothing.”

Amber shot a sharp look toward their table, then deliberately raised her voice. “Queen’s a world–class violinist. Legit genius. Not like some people who crank out a couple of songs and suddenly think they’re the second coming.

“Is that Nirvana over there?”

“I really want to go ask for an autograph…”

“Don’t. She’s got history with Amber.”

“But when are we gonna get another chance to see her?”

“Amber’s paying for this whole thing. You seriously gonna run over and beg for an autograph from someone she hates? You might as well just slap her.”

Amber’s expression soured.

Ungrateful little brats. And she was the one footing the bill.

“God knows what she did to survive that psycho. Probably nothing she’d want public.”

“Splash-!”

“Ah-!!”

Amber shrieked, absolutely drenched, wine dripping from her hair, her clothes soaked through.

Stella’s eyes went wide. She couldn’t quite process what she was seeing.

“Stella, have you completely lost your mind?”

Amber’s voice was shrill, but underneath it, something in her was thrilled.

The more Stella acted like a crazy person, the faster Elias would get sick of her.

Sure, maybe the whole wild thing was exciting at first–but no man stuck around long with a woman who threw wine in people’s faces.

Once Stella lost her meal ticket, Amber was going to make her pay.

Sienna thought so too. Tossing wine at someone in public? Tacky.

But when everyone turned to look, they froze.

It was Elias.

He was the one who’d thrown the first glass.

Then, calmly, he picked up another from the table and poured it over Amber’s head.

“Ah-!”

Humiliated, utterly wrecked, Amber opened her mouth to scream curses, but Sienna clamped a hand over her lips before she could get a word out. Amber’s tears spilled over helplessly.

Tears and red wine ran together, streaking down her face.

Around them, people whispered, the whole room thick with the smell of wine.

“Elias, what the hell is wrong with you?”

“You insult my girl right in front of me–what, you think I’m dead?”

“My mom didn’t even say her name! This is insane.”

Sienna had always known he could be cold, but he’d never been anything less than a gentleman. She never thought he’d do something like this.

“So what if it is?”

“You-!”

“Next time I hear you run your mouth about my girlfriend, it won’t just be wine.”

“Didn’t know Mr. Cross had it in him to act like a common thug.”

Amber figured they were already enemies now. What did she have to lose?

Her father would protect her. He always did.

She just couldn’t stand Stella. Couldn’t stand watching her have anything good.

At her words, something flickered across Elias‘ face–something almost like fear.

He’d been violent. What if Stella didn’t like that?

What girl wanted to be with a guy who acted like some kind of punk?

He glanced back at her before he could stop himself, his eyes full of something raw and uncertain.

Stella caught the look–like a boy caught doing something wrong, waiting to see if he’d disappointed her. The corners of her mouth curved up into something bright, almost radiant. “Elias, you were incredible just

now.”

Something in his chest loosened.

‘If a guy can’t stand up for his girl when someone’s running her down, what kind of man is he?”

That line got a few nods from the people around them.

Stella walked over to Amber, her eyes cold as they landed on her.

‘Still. You shouldn’t hit a woman.”
