The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance novel Chapter 829

Stella returned to the hospital room, carrying the takeout she’d picked up for Joshua.

“Sorry, I’m a bit late,” she apologized.

Joshua set his phone aside and studied her face. “You seem to be in a good mood. Did something nice happen?”

Stella touched her own cheek, as if to check whether her emotions were that obvious. “Is it really that noticeable?”

He grinned. “Very.”

Stella hesitated for a moment, but decided not to keep it from him—he’d find out about Rachel eventually, anyway.

“I got my hands on solid proof that Rachel’s been faking her illness,” she said quietly. “If this goes public, there’s no way she’ll be able to recover her reputation.”

Joshua didn’t even look surprised. Instead, he smiled. “Well, congratulations. You wanted to expose her, and now you’ve got exactly what you need.”

Stella didn’t mention that it was Foreman who’d provided the evidence. She trusted Joshua, but it didn’t feel right to drag Foreman’s name into this, not when it could make trouble for him.

She gave a small nod and began unpacking the food. “Let’s eat first.”

Joshua gave her a long, thoughtful look, then started his meal with his usual quiet, composed grace.

The next morning, social media was ablaze. Trending hashtags like “Rachel Fakes Her Illness,” “Rachel’s Terminal Diagnosis Exposed,” and “Rachel the Fraud” shot up to the top of the charts.

Video clips and images revealing Rachel’s deception had been posted from Stella’s account. She’d even written a lengthy post, laying out the tangled history between her and Rachel in painstaking detail.

With Stella’s current level of fame and a massive online following, her exposé went viral in under two hours.
