The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance novel Chapter 270

---

In the private dining room of a restaurant, Mr. Walden squinted at the young couple sitting across from him.

"This young lady doesn't seem to be the one I'm looking for."

Mr. Walden, a man nearing sixty-five, with silver hair and piercing blue eyes, leaned on his cane. His gaze was sharp, a hint of aloofness in his demeanor.

Rachel sat beside Haynes, her excitement barely contained as her body trembled slightly with anticipation. If Nora was the idol she aspired to surpass, then Mr. Walden was the legend she had always revered. Never in her wildest dreams had she imagined she would meet such an illustrious figure. What musician wouldn't want to meet this legendary character?

Haynes, with his cool and composed demeanor, replied, "Mr. Walden, this young lady beside me is no less remarkable than the person you're seeking."

Mr. Walden fixed his sharp gaze on him, his eyes as keen as a knife. "May I ask, what is the connection between the lady I'm looking for and Mr. O'Brien?"

Haynes didn't hesitate. "She is my wife."

Mr. Walden shifted his attention to Rachel. "And who is this young lady to Mr. O'Brien?"

"She's my friend," Haynes replied in a low voice. "She graduated from the Solmaris branch of Neo-Vespera University, School of Musical Arts."

Upon hearing this, Mr. Walden laughed, as if he had heard an amusing joke. "Does Mr. O'Brien think a degree from Neo-Vespera University is so impressive?"
