The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance novel Chapter 40

She wanted to push through the reporters, but their circle was as impenetrable as a brick wall.

"Ms. Cameron, could you answer my question?"

"Ms. Cameron..."

"Ms. Cameron..."

The reporters buzzed around Stella like bees.

Out of nowhere, someone shoved Stella, sending her sprawling onto the ground.

A sudden outcry erupted as she struggled to get back on her feet. "Oh my God! Mrs. O'Brien hit someone!"

With that shout, every flashbulb in the vicinity turned toward Stella, capturing her from every angle. The noise and the sea of unfamiliar faces threatened to engulf her, leaving her breathless.

Suddenly, a deep, commanding voice cut through the chaos outside the circle. "Step aside."

The crowd turned, finding a tall, imposing man standing behind them.

Stella's eyes widened in shock. It was Neville.

Neville took advantage of the reporters' momentary distraction and moved to Stella's side. His gaze fell on her twisted ankle, and his sharp eyes narrowed. "I'll take you to the hospital."

With that, Neville helped Stella to her feet.

Seeing Neville, the reporters buzzed with renewed energy, swarming toward him like moths to a flame.

However, his aura was formidable, and the reporters hesitated to treat him with the same impertinence as they had Stella.
