The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance novel Chapter 1904

Abby kept her voice low. "No... Star, do you want to just come over and see for yourself?"

Stella had been trying to play matchmaker for Antoney and Lauretta, but because she'd been so consumed with researching Joshua's condition lately, she hadn't actually set them up on any dates.

Joshua had been right—Antoney and Lauretta were both incredibly guarded people. You couldn't rush these things.

So how in the world had they skipped straight to jumping into bed together?

No wonder Abby was panicking; this was a PR nightmare waiting to happen.

"Send me the address. I'm on my way," Stella said firmly.

After grabbing the location from Abby, Stella threw on her coat and headed for the door.

She ran right into Joshua as he was walking in.

He paused, taking in her rushed state. "Heading out, Star?"

Stella frowned slightly. "Yeah. Something happened with Antoney and Lauretta, and Abby's in over her head. I need to go handle it."

Joshua's eyes darkened for a fraction of a second. "What happened?"

Stella tried to put it delicately. "Antoney and Lauretta... well, I'm not exactly sure how, but they ended up in a really compromising situation. I'm going to see what's going on."

She honestly couldn't picture how those two had ended up in bed together.

Joshua lowered his gaze, masking the dark swirl of emotions in his eyes.

"Let me drive you."

Stella didn't argue. "Okay."

Half an hour later, they arrived at the hotel.

Because she'd gotten the call early and was close by, Abby had beaten Stella to the scene.

But she was stuck out in the hallway, barred from entering the room, which was now swarming with people.

Stella immediately spotted paparazzi in the crowd, their cameras flashing aggressively.

Her expression hardened. She signaled her personal bodyguards to start physically clearing the press, then turned to Abby. "Abby, kill the story. Do whatever it takes."

Abby looked sick to her stomach. "Star, half these reporters are livestreaming right now. I don't think we can put a lid on this.

I was checking my phone on the way up. It's already trending online."
