The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance novel Chapter 1510

L sent a message: "So, to you, am I someone who is worth it?"

Before Stella could reply, her phone suddenly rang. She glanced at the caller ID and saw that it was Neville Connolly, whom she hadn't seen in a long time.

Stella's expression tensed slightly as she answered the call.

"Neville."

Neville's voice was heavy. "I'm sorry to bother you, Star."

Stella's heart skipped a beat; she had a sinking feeling. She asked softly, "What happened?"

She and Neville hadn't been in contact much recently. She had heard from Marvin Connolly that Grandma Connolly's health was starting to deteriorate. Grandma Connolly had lived her entire life in Aetheria and wanted to spend her final days there. For the past while, Neville and Marvin had been in Aetheria, taking care of her.

Some time ago, when Neville had heard that Stella was in trouble, he had called to ask if she needed help. He had only been reassured after learning that Stella had things under control.

Neville said, "Grandma… she might not have much time left. She wants to see you one last time. I'm sorry, Star, I know it's a lot to ask, but I need you to come."

Thinking of the kind old woman, Stella's heart ached. She agreed without a moment's hesitation. "Okay, I'll be there right away."

Hearing Stella agree so readily, without even a pause, the other end of the line went quiet for a moment. After a while, Neville's slightly hoarse voice came through.

"Star, thank you."

Stella managed a small smile. "There's no need for such formalities between us."

After hanging up, Stella immediately had her secretary arrange a private jet to Aetheria. Then, she went to Joshua's office to tell him the news.

Joshua's eyes flickered when he heard. "Neville is in Aetheria now?"

Leonard didn't reply. Instead, he picked up his binoculars and looked toward the building opposite.

Stella was putting on her coat, looking like she was about to leave the company.

Leonard's lips tightened into a thin line. He felt an inexplicable irritation. Israel's matter had been settled for a while now; what was Stella so busy with all the time?

Just then, the phone he had tossed on his desk began to ring. Leonard quickly picked it up, realizing it wasn't a message, but a call from an unsaved number.

His face darkened as he answered the call.

"Who is this?" Sherman's accusatory voice came from the other end of the line.

"Leonard, weren't you going to help teach Stella a lesson? Why haven't you done anything? I heard from Israel today that Stella is still working at The Williams Group, looking as pleased as punch."
