The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance novel Chapter 749

Suddenly, Rachel remembered what Joshua had asked of her—he wanted her to find Aurora.

Did that mean Joshua had also noticed Aurora’s earrings?

Was he testing her?

Or did he already know something?

But even if Joshua had seen them, it didn’t necessarily mean those earrings belonged to Aurora. After all, there were so many similar things in the world.

Still, Rachel couldn’t shake her unease.

Aurora… she played the violin too.

What if Aurora happened to own two identical pairs of earrings?

Rachel spoke up, “Your earring—I once saw someone wearing one just like it. I loved it so much, I’d wanted to buy one of my own ever since. So when I saw Ms. Williams wearing it the other day, I wanted to buy it from her.”

Aurora saw right through her story. She knew Rachel wasn’t telling the truth, but she also knew Rachel never would.

Meeting Rachel’s gaze, Aurora asked, “Earlier, Joshua—Stella’s companion—spotted my earring and reacted just like you did that day. Ms. Pearce, do you know him?”

Rachel had already braced herself for this. Without a hint of panic, she smiled politely. “I’ve met Joshua a few times. You could say we know each other. But I don’t know much about the earrings.”

Aurora studied her a moment longer, but Rachel’s expression revealed nothing. Aurora let the tension ease with a casual smile.

“So, Ms. Pearce, what sort of collaboration did you have in mind?”

Rachel couldn’t help but feel a touch of caution toward Aurora after the whole earring incident.
