The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance novel Chapter 67

The weekend rolled around quickly.

Keen's kindergarten was hosting a parent-child event.

Rachel arrived at the kindergarten early.

Haynes, who used his connections to keep it all under wraps, had swiftly dealt with the drama online. Any discussion threads that popped up got deleted faster than you could say "scandal." Negative comments about Rachel were nearly impossible to find.

On the surface, the internet was calm and peaceful again.

However, while Haynes could silence online chatter, he couldn't control people’s thoughts. When Rachel entered the kindergarten gate, she could feel the strange looks of people around.

Out of nowhere, a cup of steaming hot coffee spilled all over Rachel, causing her to shriek in pain.

"Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry, miss. My hand slipped," said the woman, her voice devoid of remorse.

"You did that on purpose..." Rachel began, but the woman cut her off. "Hey everyone, look! Isn't that Rachel, the talk of today's news?"

The woman's words caught the attention of several parents, and they all turned to look at Rachel, their eyes filled with disdain.

"I can't stand these homewreckers who pretend to be innocent while playing the victim!"

"She deliberately hit someone with her car, then blamed it on the wife, even bringing in fake witnesses. Disgusting!"

"This woman is the ultimate manipulator. Mr. and Mrs. O'Brien had split up, but she had to stir the pot with her comments."
