The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance novel Chapter 900

“She’s meticulous to the point of being calculating,” Sellers remarked, his tone edged with grudging respect. “No wonder Aurora suffered so badly at her hands.”

He continued, “I suppose you’re aware by now—there are rumors about Aurora all over the internet, and no matter how hard we try, we can’t suppress them. Aurora’s not the only one taking the heat; the whole Williams family is being dragged through the mud.”

Leonard barely knew Stella—everything he did know came secondhand from Simone.

“Why would Stella do this?” he asked, eyes narrowing.

Sellers shrugged. “Part of it is retaliation, sure. But the bigger reason? She refuses to return to the Williams family with her status in question, unrecognized and powerless.”

He explained how Skyler had tried to bring Stella back into the Williams fold.

“Stella’s got Haynes and Neville on her side now, and this is Novaris—good luck making trouble for her here.”

Leonard shot him a cold look. “So you’re just going to do nothing? Let Aurora swallow this humiliation?”

Sellers raised an eyebrow. “Unless you have a way to snatch her from under Haynes and Neville’s noses? From what I hear, Neville’s people are keeping a close watch on Stella, protecting her in secret.”

A faint, chilling smile played at Leonard’s lips. “If I want something done, nothing can stop me.”

They were still talking when Simone stepped into the hall.

“Aurora’s changed and feeling better. You can come see her now.”

Without another word, Sellers left Leonard behind and strode into the room.

Leonard moved to follow, but Simone stopped him.
