The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance novel Chapter 784

Stella stood steady, her voice unwavering. “If I truly had the money, power, and connections people claim, you’d only hear that the competition was canceled suddenly due to some ‘unexpected event.’ You’d never know it happened because of me.

My name would never even surface online. No one would dare insult me like this.

As for revenge…”

Her gaze swept over the audience, sharp and clear. “When you were all shouting for me to withdraw from the competition, none of you seemed the least bit worried I’d retaliate. So why the sudden fear now? Are you really concerned about someone seeking revenge on my behalf—or is it just easier to pick on someone you think can’t fight back?”

She let a small, knowing smile play on her lips. “I think we all know that I’m the official ambassador for Neo-Vespera’s charity organization. I represent their image.

I’m open to any reasonable, fact-based questioning. But I won’t tolerate baseless slander or malicious gossip.

As the face of Neo-Vespera’s charity, I won’t allow anyone to smear that reputation.

Today, in front of the whole country, I promise you: I will not retaliate against anyone.

Every word I say, I’m willing to stand by in a court of law.”

The room erupted in a swell of shock and disbelief.

Even the live chat on the stream froze for several seconds.

Howard, who was running the broadcast backstage, couldn’t help but mutter, “This Stella… she’s incredible. Confident, sharp, and every word on point.”

As viewers processed what she’d said, the torrent of insults died down, replaced by more thoughtful doubts.

“She… does make some sense, actually. If she really had powerful connections, why would she let herself get dragged through the mud online? She could just make it all disappear.”

“Come on, you don’t get it! She wants the attention, the controversy. Even bad press is still press. That’s how people stay famous!”

“Stella doesn’t need controversy to be famous. She’s already a well-known charity ambassador for Neo-Vespera, officially recognized and everything.

Go look her up—she has millions of followers. She doesn’t need stunts like this. The idea is laughable!”

“People who don’t know a thing about Stella are just here to smear her… Who’s paying you trolls, anyway?”
