The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance novel Chapter 822

Haynes could only keep bailing people out, running himself ragged thanks to Jasper’s nonstop troublemaking.

Joshua said, “But Foreman and Haynes—they’ve been friends since childhood, right? Can you really trust someone who’d turn on his own best friend?”

Abby replied, “Foreman’s put up with them for a long time. But honestly? They crossed way too many lines. Eventually, you just can’t look the other way anymore. Besides, for Keen’s sake, he doesn’t want things spiraling out of control.”

She paused, then added, “Foreman helped Star out, but it didn’t actually hurt Jasper in any real way. And remember, when Sellers was targeting Jasper a while back, it was Foreman who stepped in to help—he even talked Haynes into helping too. He’s loyal to his friends, even if they don’t always deserve it.”

Joshua fell silent, having nothing more to say.

…

Out in the hallway, Stella answered Foreman’s call.

“Star,” Foreman said, “are you free today? There’s something I need to tell you.” His voice dropped to a low, serious tone. “It’s about Joshua.”

Stella was quiet for a few seconds. “Alright. The same café as before?”

“Yeah. See you there,” Foreman replied.

After letting Abby and Joshua know where she was headed, Stella made her way to the café. She arrived early, only to find Foreman was already there waiting.

He stood up as she approached, pulling out her chair with gentlemanly grace.

“Star, I haven’t congratulated you yet for beating Harry and taking first place in the competition.”

He handed her a beautifully wrapped gift box that had been sitting on the table. “This is for you—a little something to celebrate your win.”

Stella and Foreman knew each other well by now, so she accepted the gift without hesitation. “Thank you.”
