The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance novel Chapter 657

The trending topic wouldn’t die down, no matter how hard they tried—it was obvious someone was behind all this, pulling strings.

And that someone, Jasper, was clearly a problem. Sellers had no doubt he was secretly helping Stella.

Sellers pressed his lips into a thin, hard line, a cold glint sharpening his eyes. Normally, things like this were beneath him, hardly worth a second thought. He’d never cared what others said; idle gossip bounced right off him.

But this time, it stuck like a fishbone lodged in his throat.

After a few moments’ silence, he said curtly, “Call Haynes.”

…

At the same time, Abby Murphy, who’d just seen the news, rushed to share it with Stella.

“Star, Sellers is trending! Oh, karma really does come around—now everyone’s calling him the jerk of the century! Some of those socialites are actually trying to defend him, claiming that woman is making it all up, that they’ve never even heard of her. But guess what the internet is saying?”

Abby laughed gleefully. “People are saying, ‘Of course you haven’t heard of her. That just proves he never went public with his girlfriend, always hiding her, acting single, keeping her as a backup. If people knew about her, would he still be called a jerk?’”

She was nearly breathless from laughter. “No matter how hard his PR team tries to clean things up, there’s always someone ready to shoot them down. Sellers is done for—there’s no salvaging his reputation now.”

Stella looked a little surprised. “Any idea who’s orchestrating all this behind the scenes?”
