The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance novel Chapter 806

“If she really did that, it’d be going too far.”

Because Stella was competing on home turf, most of the crowd was firmly in her corner.

Of course, Harry had his own group of admirers, and they weren’t shy about voicing their support for him.

The host’s voice rang out again, commanding everyone’s attention.

“Now, let’s welcome our winner, Miss Stella, to say a few words.”

Stella took the microphone, her smile calm and gracious. “Thank you to everyone who’s supported me. I’m sure you all know about the wager between Mr. Harry and myself. If I lost, I promised to retire from the stage—never to touch a violin again. If Mr. Harry lost, he agreed to apologize to my mother, Nora, and my mentor, Anthony—and get down on his knees and bark like a dog.”

Her words sent a ripple through the audience.

Most people had been caught up in the drama of the wager, but now, as they took in the details, the implications became clear.

“Wait—Stella’s making Harry apologize to her mother and mentor? Does that mean Harry insulted her mother?”

“With his personality? Wouldn’t put it past him.”

“Wasn’t Stella’s mom, Nora, the one who passed away? That’s just reprehensible—insulting someone’s late mother!”

“Make him apologize! Make him get down and bark!”

“Yeah! Make him bark like a dog!”

A group of onlookers, always hungry for drama, began shouting at the top of their lungs.

Stella’s gaze shifted to Harry, who glared at her with a dark, venomous stare.

“But then again,” she continued, “Harry is Mr. Walden’s protégé and a renowned figure in the community. To strip him of his dignity like this—perhaps it’s asking too much, even for him.”

At her words, a flicker of relief passed over Harry’s face, and a trace of his usual arrogance crept back in.
