The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance novel Chapter 320

“Haynie, she’s been throwing your money around like it’s nothing—and now she’s even coming after our stuff. Unbelievable! When are you finally going to freeze her assets? It’s time she stopped pretending to be someone she’s not.”

Haynes shot him a look. “I’m divorced from Stella. Freezing someone else’s assets isn’t as easy as you think.”

A temporary freeze was doable, sure—but for what? A week or two? That wouldn’t change anything.

Haynes continued, “I’ve got things to take care of. Jasper, I’ll leave it to you to make sure Rachel gets home safely.”

Jasper nodded, and Haynes left the room.

Once he was gone, Rachel turned to Jasper. “Weren’t you saying you’d try to pin something on her? How’s that coming along?”

“If Stella gets convicted, all her money goes back to Haynie, right?”

Jasper scratched his head. “I talked to the lawyers. Turns out, slapping charges on someone isn’t that simple. But I’ve already got people working on it. Give it a couple days—maybe two or three.”

Rachel looked visibly relieved. Two or three days—she could wait for that.

Rachel could wait, but Jasper’s patience was wearing thin.

The more he thought about it, the angrier he got. “No, this can’t wait. I’m going to expose this gold-digger for who she really is—let the whole world see her true colors!”

With that, he grabbed his phone and started pulling strings, determined to ruin Stella’s reputation even further.

“She actually thinks she can take me on? Please. Just because she got her hands on a hundred million, she thinks she’s untouchable? Today, I’ll show her who really holds the power around here.”

Smearing someone’s name was all too easy for Jasper.

But making up sordid rumors—he wouldn’t stoop that low. Stella was Haynes’s ex-wife, and Keen’s mother; crossing that line would just end up humiliating Haynes, too.

Still, there were ways to socially destroy her.
