The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance novel Chapter 1027

At that moment, the recording played over the speakers.

Every ugly accusation the Williams family had hurled at Stella, every word of disbelief and blame, echoed back with crystal clarity.

Of course, the part where Leonard flat-out denied kidnapping Stella was also replayed for everyone to hear.

Not only did he refuse to admit what he'd done, but he had the audacity to demand an apology from Stella.

People tuned in to the livestream, listening intently, felt their fists clenching in anger.

Absolutely shameless!

But what truly pushed everyone over the edge was the Williams family’s treatment of Stella.

“Oh my god, poor Stella. I thought she’d gone home to live the high life as the family’s golden girl, but… her own father and brother treat her like this?”

“When I first heard her dad speak, I thought maybe he wasn’t so bad after all. But then, in this recording, Leonard twists everything, and the family immediately takes his side. Not even her father defends her, not once… What a bunch of hypocrites!”

“Which brother was it who said Stella’s hand wasn’t actually hurt, just that she couldn’t play the violin, so there was no need to make a big deal out of it? Some brother. Honestly, he sounds more like Leonard’s brother than Stella’s. If you trust Leonard so much, maybe you should all just change your last name to Lerman. That would suit your completely cold-hearted loyalties.”

“Both Stella and Leonard had no evidence, but the Williams family—her own blood—chose to believe Leonard over her… Just think about that for a second.”

“You don’t get it,” someone replied. “They know exactly what’s going on—they’re just playing dumb and acting like jerks. Why? Because they want the family shares Stella inherited, obviously.”

“I used to think Aurora was the perfect ice queen—born into privilege, gorgeous, and talented. But when everyone started attacking Stella just now, did Aurora say a single word to defend her own sister? No. She even told her to apologize to the guy who hurt her!”

Some, too busy to watch in person, had their secretaries stream the broadcast onto their office TVs so they could keep an eye on things while working.

Antoney Watson’s father, Nicolle Watson, was one of them—signing documents as he listened to the revelations.

Just a short while ago, a friend from his social circle had called, telling him there was explosive news about the Williams family—something so big it had sent shockwaves well beyond their usual circles.

Events like this could shake up the entire balance of power among the families. Nicolle knew he couldn’t afford to ignore it.

He immediately turned to his secretary for details.

She nodded, clearly in the know. “Ms. Cameron was attacked in Solmaris not long ago. The news is everywhere, and public interest is sky-high.”
