The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance novel Chapter 57

Lately, Stella and Neville had become quite familiar with each other.

As they got to know each other better, Stella was surprised to discover just how many hobbies she and Neville shared.

Neville was also a big fan of concerts. He even minored in the violin in college but had to set aside his passion when he took over the family business.

Despite not being a maestro, his insights into music were unique, which gave Stella a fresh perspective she found enlightening.

In the past, Neville had playfully called her "Star" before Haynes to help her out. Now that they were friends, the nickname stuck, and it didn't seem out of place.

Stella smiled wryly. "Rachel thinks she's got everything perfectly covered, but it’s full of flaws. Today, I’ll show the world who Rachel truly is."

Since Rachel returned, Stella had faced her share of grievances because of her. She genuinely despised Rachel but had never intended to ruin her.

After all, if a man cheated, it might mostly be his fault. Blaming the other woman wasn’t fair. If she couldn’t keep a man’s heart, it was her problem. If it wasn’t Rachel, it might be someone else.

Previously, Rachel had only played small tricks. But recently, Rachel had crossed a line, pushing Stella to her limit. If Haynes and Rachel wanted to play dirty, they could go to hell for all she cared.

Neville raised an eyebrow. "But if you release this video, your future with the O'Brien family might not be pleasant."

That was true. The O'Brien family was not only Haynes but included Haynes' mother, Deanna, and his sister.

"It doesn’t matter," Stella replied, her voice steady. "Haynes and I have no future together."

Her name had been smeared across the internet for days, and not a single soul from the O’Brien family had lifted a finger to defend her. Why should she care about their precious reputation?

From then on, she wouldn't sacrifice an ounce of herself for people who didn’t deserve it.
