The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance novel Chapter 2235

The on-site civil registrars hadn't left either, waiting on standby.

By the time Stella and Joshua finished signing the agreements and were ready to formalize the marriage certificate, it was nearing eleven at night.

The Gardner family representatives who had flown in were mostly older.

Elderly people were generally accustomed to going to bed early. Waiting around this late had left them lethargic, eyelids drooping, looking completely drained.

Making a bunch of seniors wait this long was undeniably rough on them.

Torrin Gardner was the youngest among the family representatives.

Seeing so many people nodding off, he naturally took the lead to confront Joshua.

"Joshua, didn't you say you were bringing the bride back? It's almost midnight. Where is she?!"

"She won't be coming back for now," Joshua replied calmly. "However, I've found a partner far more powerful."

With effortless grace, he slipped his arm around Stella's waist and introduced her to the room.

"This is Stella Cameron. She is the current head of the Williams family. Not only does she hold thirty percent of the Lerman Group's shares, but she also has the backing of numerous powerful allies."

When Joshua suddenly took her hand, Stella froze.

Her heart actually skipped a beat. Her already exhausted mind grew even more sluggish.

The middle-aged man who had attacked Joshua earlier forced himself to focus.
