The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance novel Chapter 329

Everyone was clamoring at once, not giving Stella a chance to speak.

Just then, another group of officers emerged from the station.

They hesitated for a split second when they saw the scene outside, then, spotting Stella, walked straight over to her.

“Ms. Cameron,” one of them said, “we’ve received new evidence regarding the complaint against you. At this point, your accounts have been frozen and the auctioned items will be temporarily seized for investigation.”

He paused, then added, “We’ll need you to come with us again and cooperate with our inquiry.”

Jasper, witnessing this, let a triumphant smile curl at the edges of his mouth.

The police were efficient—almost unbelievably so. They must have verified the new evidence in record time.

It looked like Stella was going to face a formal interrogation.

As luck would have it, the timing couldn’t be more perfect.

With the whole thing being live-streamed, Stella’s ruin would be broadcast to the entire world.

Online, viewers were glued to their screens, unable to look away.

“Wow,” someone commented, “people were calling this woman a gold-digger earlier, and I joined in. Then the news said she was a philanthropist, and I thought maybe I’d misjudged her. But now—it looks like my first impression was right?”

“Guess even reporters can drop the ball sometimes,” another wrote.

“Reporting like mad without even verifying the source of the money—this is going to tank the network’s credibility.”

Though it was early morning, the internet was buzzing like it was New Year’s Eve. The twists and turns of this drama were just too gripping.

Many spectators, delighted by the chaos, were calling friends, coworkers, and relatives, urging them not to miss the spectacle.

Stella turned to the officers. “Can I have five minutes?” she asked evenly.

One of them glanced around at the crowd and nodded.

With so many people watching—and news cameras everywhere—Stella wasn’t likely to make a run for it. Besides, the press was eager for a statement.
