The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance novel Chapter 292

“Even the zipper on that dress is solid gold. If you just stripped off the diamonds and gold, you could sell them for a fortune.”

Jasper’s face flushed with rage when he saw Stella actually wearing The Wilkinson Group’s signature masterpiece. His eyes went red with anger. He knew without a doubt—Stella was doing this on purpose.

She had worn that dress just to spite him.

Jasper started to storm over, but Rachel grabbed his arm, stopping him.

Rachel could see right through Stella’s intentions—she was deliberately provoking Jasper.

Truth be told, Rachel was seething inside as well.

How could Stella have spent so much money in such a short time? Did she really think Haynes’s money was hers to burn?

Rachel shot Stella a cold glance, a mocking smile flickering in her eyes.

Stella, you won’t get to enjoy this for long.

Do you really think Haynes’s money is so easy to spend? Once the divorce is finalized, your nightmare will begin. Every dime you spent will come back to haunt you, one way or another.

And that Stradivarius violin—Nocturne Stella—it will be hers as well.

Stella ignored Jasper’s indignant glare and turned with a bright smile to Haynes.

“So, Mr. O'Brien, you’ve suddenly become so generous with me. Surely you want something in return? Let me guess… what might that be?” She pretended to ponder for a moment. “Hmm, there’s not much about me worth scheming for. The only thing I have of real value is my violin—Nocturne Stella.”

“Mr. O'Brien, I suppose you want me to lend my violin to Rachel, don’t you?”

Haynes’s lips moved slightly. “Just for a little while. It’ll be returned to you.”

“So I guessed right,” Stella nodded. “But what if I lend her the violin and she damages it?”
