The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance novel Chapter 1914

Joshua walked up to Stella and said in a low voice, "Star, it's just a personal grudge between Laurel and me."

Stella stared at him unblinking. "What kind of personal grudge makes you want to strangle Ms. Quinn to death?"

Joshua didn't speak.

Stella gazed at him quietly. "Joshua, is there still something you can't tell me?"

Joshua's eyes flickered. "Star..."

There was no need for Joshua to say anything else; Stella already knew the answer from his reaction.

A hint of disappointment surfaced in Stella's eyes.

She turned to look at Laurel with an apologetic expression.

"Ms. Quinn, I am truly sorry."

Previously, Stella had been half-doubtful of Laurel's words.

Now, Stella completely understood that Laurel hadn't lied to her.

Otherwise, Joshua wouldn't have come to her door.

Laurel coughed while shaking her head.

"...I'm fine."

She didn't blame Joshua; she just hoped that Joshua could get his illness treated as soon as possible.

Standing aside, Beckett looked at Laurel's pained expression and tightly clenched his fists.

He seemed to want to say something, but in the end, he gritted his teeth and held it back.

Stella knew there was no point in staying here any longer.
