The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance novel Chapter 774

“Not only did someone avenge us, but our hands stayed clean.”

Yes, their hands stayed clean.

That had been Candida Fletcher’s intention all along—she’d stopped Stella from getting involved because she didn’t want Stella’s reputation sullied, didn’t want to give anyone ammunition against her.

Stella’s expression grew thoughtful.

For some reason, she couldn’t shake the feeling that this whole thing had something to do with her.

But who could it have been?

Haynes?

Just then, a gentle knock sounded at the hospital room door.

“I’ll get it,” Abby said.

She opened the door and froze for a split second at the sight of the three people standing outside. Her face immediately hardened.

“What are you doing here?”

Standing there were none other than Haynes, Foreman, and Rachel.

Foreman was one thing—he’d helped Stella before—but what were Haynes and Rachel doing here?

Foreman put on a pleasant smile. “We heard Ms. Cameron hurt her hand. We just wanted to see how she was doing.”

Since Foreman had been good to Stella, Abby couldn’t exactly slam the door in his face, so she let them in.

Stella was sitting on the couch, leafing through some sheet music.

Joshua, lost in a game on his phone, looked up as they entered, raising his eyebrows slightly.

“You’re here for Ms. Cameron?”

Stella had been staying at the hospital to look after Joshua—a single woman alone with a man, which could easily be misconstrued. Usually, Abby would stay and keep her company to ward off any gossip.

Now, Stella’s brow furrowed ever so slightly.
