The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance novel Chapter 636

A sharp glint flashed in Attorney Whitman’s eyes. “I have to admit, I’m curious myself, Mr. Burton. What exactly is the conflict between you and our client? Why not lay it out for everyone, so there’s no room for misunderstanding?”

All eyes turned to Sellers.

Even those who knew there was bad blood between Sellers and Stella—like Aurora and the others—had no idea how it all started. Sellers had never told them.

As the silence stretched on, Stella smiled coolly. “Why so quiet, Mr. Burton? Is it too embarrassing to admit? Hard to say out loud? Well, I suppose that’s understandable. After all, you were the one who started this. Anyone would have trouble owning up to that.”

At that moment, Neville stepped forward and pulled up the security footage he’d retrieved earlier, projecting it for everyone to see.

The video left no room for doubt: Sellers, upon encountering Stella, was every bit the arrogant bully. Even if you ignored the images and just listened to the audio, his tone alone made you want to punch him.

Sherman stared at Sellers, genuinely surprised.

Sure, he’d plotted against Stella before, even hired people to humiliate her with words. But getting physical? That was beneath him. His uncle, the man in charge of the entire Burton Group, actually lowered himself to that?

Up until now, Sherman had assumed Stella was just trying to ruin Sellers’ reputation by calling him names—pervert, creep, that kind of thing. But watching the footage, he realized those accusations weren’t exaggerated at all.

Grabbing her hand, stepping on her foot... Even someone as shameless as Sherman couldn’t condone that kind of behavior.
