The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance novel Chapter 1123

People who treat con artists like treasure—now that’s a rare sight.

“Stella, if you end up losing everything to this scammer, don’t say your big brother didn’t warn you!”

Stella frowned, her patience wearing thin.

She suspected Jake might be a fraud too, but calling someone out without proof, especially right to their face, was just plain rude.

She quickly turned to Jake and apologized. “Mr. Jake, please don’t mind him. My brother isn’t exactly firing on all cylinders today.”

Israel’s face flushed with anger.

“Stella, did you just call your own brother brainless? With that attitude, who besides a scammer would ever invest in you? Hah! If you can’t manage basic respect, what makes you think you can run a business?”

Stella’s eyes grew cold.

“Oh? You sound so sure, Israel. If you’re going to accuse Jake of being a con artist, do you actually have any evidence? If you do, show us. If not, you’re just slandering him, making things up for your own amusement.”

She leveled her gaze at him. “Before you question my character, maybe get your own head checked first.”

Israel opened his mouth but couldn’t get a word out.

Jake glanced at him, a strange, almost pitying look in his eyes—the kind you’d give someone who just escaped from a mental institution.

Without lingering, Jake turned to Stella. “Ms. Cameron, I’ll take my leave.”
