The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance novel Chapter 821

Stella paused, caught off guard. “Why are you looking at me like that?”

Joshua said, “It’s the first time I’ve realized—I actually have so many good qualities.”

Stella grinned. “There’s another important quality I forgot to mention.”

Joshua looked at her, a touch of anticipation in his eyes. “What’s that?”

She replied, “You’re in great shape. And, well, you’re really handsome.”

Joshua couldn’t help but laugh, and Stella joined in, their laughter mingling and filling the room.

That was the scene Abby walked in on as she pushed open the door—a moment of unexpected harmony that made her pause. Strangely enough, back when Joshua had spent so much time around Stella, she’d never noticed this sense of ease between them before.

Hearing the door, Stella turned. “Abby, you’re here?”

Abby nodded. “The lab’s sent over the results.”

Stella’s expression turned serious. “What did they find?”

“It was definitely tampered with—someone did it on purpose,” Abby said. “And the employee who brought the car back yesterday? He’s gone missing.”

Stella didn’t look surprised. “That was fast.”

Abby continued, “There’s something else. This morning, I saw the new stories and rumors about Joshua online.”

She hesitated, then added, “I had Neville look into the people making those posts. Turns out, all of them have business ties to The O’Brien Group.”
