The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance novel Chapter 51

When Jasper caught Haynes' gaze, his face immediately gave him away. He was never good at hiding things.

Haynes instantly pieced it all together. His deep-set eyes flickered. "What exactly happened here?"

Stella acted like she didn't even hear him, not bothering to glance at him.

Neville chuckled and asked, "Star, what happened just now?"

Stella could ignore Haynes but couldn't brush off Neville. She was tired of this whole suspicion and explanation routine. Instead of answering, she picked up her phone from the side and casually tapped the screen.

A video started playing, showing Jasper's booming voice echoing through the room.

"Stella, you murderer!"

The shaky footage revealed Jasper picking up a water glass and throwing its contents at Stella. The screen went blurry as the liquid hit the camera.

Haynes suddenly remembered noticing Stella's hair was a bit damp when he entered the room, and there were some watermarks on the sheets, too.

As Stella wiped the screen dry, Jasper's voice filled the room again when he pointed at Stella, arrogantly threatening her, and moved toward her like he was ready to pounce.

As he reached out, Stella kicked him away. Unprepared, Jasper stumbled into a nearby table, knocking over glasses and taking Rachel down.

The video ended, leaving the room in a deafening silence.

Haynes' inscrutable eyes settled on Rachel. "Rachel, is that how it went?"

Rachel looked stunned and took a moment before nodding. "Yes. Ms. Cameron didn't push me."
