The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance novel Chapter 2059

Otherwise, even if she was entirely in the right, she would be branded as unhinged and low-class. Her enemies would seize the opportunity to drag her name through the mud indefinitely.

Besides, in the past, Blair only dared to show her fangs when no one else was around, trying to maintain her delicate public image.

This time, she probably assumed Joshua was a nobody and simply stopped pretending.

Stella said, "In the past, she..."

She stopped herself mid-sentence, letting the silence hang.

She wanted to explain that the only reason she tolerated Blair was because, while stalking Haynes O'Brien, Blair had accidentally saved Keen O'Brien's life.

But Joshua didn't remember anything. Trying to explain the tangled history involving Haynes and Keen would be an absolute nightmare.

More importantly, Stella didn't want to dredge up the past with him.

Seeing her fall silent, Joshua gave her a brief look but didn't press the issue.

...

For the next few days, Stella's schedule was packed, keeping her from going to the repair shop.

Once she finally cleared her workload, she received a call from Abby Murphy.

On the other end of the line, Abby sounded absolutely giddy.

"Star! Star! You know Blair Todd, right? The one who constantly flaunted that she saved Keen and paraded around us like she owned the place? Have you heard what happened to her?"

Over the years, Abby had been working closely with Stella, meaning she was fully immersed in all the high-society gossip circles.

Having previously worked as a talent agent, she had seamlessly transitioned from celebrity scandals to the far more dramatic, blood-soaked drama of the ultra-rich.

Whenever she was bored, she and Violet Yancey would trade gossip, often leaking juicy tidbits to her outside followers.

Even all the way in Neo-Vespera, Abby had gotten the news almost instantly.

Stella had been working non-stop and hadn't paid any attention to the tabloids.
