The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance novel Chapter 1500

As they entered, Lana offered a slight smile. "Oh, everyone's here."

The woman was slender and fine-boned. Her pale amber eyes always seemed to hold a faint haze, giving off an air of weary detachment. Every movement carried a quiet, elegant poise.

She was the very image of a well-bred lady. She wasn't as stunning or striking as Aurora, but her grace was in a class of its own. Hers was a classic beauty that became more captivating the longer you looked at her.

McCoy, who had followed Lana into the room, spoke first. "Aurora, are you all right?"

Aurora managed a weak smile. "I'm fine. Thank you for your concern, McCoy."

"What happened? Who did this?" McCoy asked.

Beside him, Queenie sneered. "Who else could it be but Stella?"

"Stella?" McCoy frowned. "The same Stella who attended the Chapman family banquet? Lauretta and Stella are good friends. Could there be a misunderstanding?"

"What misunderstanding could there be?" Queenie retorted. "Stella has always disliked Aurora. She's been targeting her ever since they were at the Williams family home."

"That's just speculation," McCoy said. "Do you have any proof?"

"I was out shopping with Aurora at the time," Queenie explained. "The attackers were clearly prepared. They separated me from her and then started beating her. They warned her to stay away from Joshua and never to let them see her trying to seduce him again. Joshua is Stella's bodyguard, and their relationship is ambiguous. If it wasn't her, who else could it be?"
