The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance novel Chapter 748

Keen actually wanted her gone too.

She felt like an outcast—unwelcome wherever she went.

Joshua, who had been quiet all this time, finally spoke up with a smile. “Ms. Pearce, if you need a place to rest, there’s a lounge upstairs. Ms. Williams and Miss Lerman are there as well. You could go say hello.”

Aurora and Simone?

Honestly, Rachel had always hoped to get to know them, but never found the right opportunity. She’d heard from Joshua that Stella and Aurora weren’t on good terms. Supposedly, Stella had been thrown out of her family for stealing Aurora’s fiancé.

If she could get Aurora on her side…

Rachel’s heart skipped with excitement.

Joshua really was her secret weapon—so much more reliable than Jasper.

“Thank you for the tip,” Rachel said, “I’ll head up now.”

She made her way to the second-floor lounge. Sure enough, Aurora and Simone were chatting quietly on a sofa tucked away in the corner.

Rachel approached them. “Ms. Williams, Miss Lerman—hello.”

Aurora glanced up at her. “Ms. Pearce. What a coincidence.”

Rachel smiled. “Are you two here for the party as well? Oh, did you see Keen and the others just now?”

Aurora nodded. “We saw them.”

Although Aurora replied, she made no move to invite Rachel to sit. As for Simone, she didn’t even spare Rachel a glance, let alone say a word.

Sensing Aurora’s distance, Rachel didn’t feel awkward. She glanced around, then lowered her voice.

“Ms. Williams, I have something I’d like to discuss privately. Could we step outside for a moment?”

Simone finally looked at her, but still remained silent.
