The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance novel Chapter 1841

A jolt went through Stella.

It was exactly what Laurel Quinn had said.

To be honest, she hadn't completely believed Laurel's words. Stella could tell that Laurel still had feelings for Joshua. She couldn't help but wonder if Laurel had deliberately said all that to make her leave him.

Stella asked, "So, what did you remember?"

Joshua brushed it off. "Not much. Just some old business, violence and bloodshed... nothing you need to worry about."

Stella was skeptical. "Joshua, are you sure?"

"When have I ever lied to you?" Joshua took her hand, his gaze falling on the unfamiliar ring she was wearing.

"This is…"

Stella quickly explained, "Foreman took the ring with the tracking chip and gave me this one to trick you. When I escaped, I completely forgot about this ring, so I didn't take it off."

As she spoke, Stella immediately tried to remove the ring.

However, it was fitted so tightly that it wouldn't budge. She had tried to take it off when she left Foreman's place, but he had intentionally designed it a size smaller, precisely so she couldn't remove it easily.

After a few attempts, she had given up, not wanting to waste time on it.

This time, Stella pulled until her finger was red, but the ring still didn't come off.

Looking into Joshua's impenetrably deep eyes, a subtle sense of dread and unease began to creep into Stella's heart.

Compared to last time, Joshua was far too calm now.

Suddenly, Stella wasn't sure what she wanted more—for him to be calm, or for him to be tense.

Abruptly, Joshua took hold of her reddened finger.

"Star, leave it." Joshua's long, slender fingers idly stroked the ring. "It'll be too difficult to get off by force. I'll have someone melt it off tomorrow."

Stella said, "Why don't we… have someone come melt it off today?"
