The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance novel Chapter 1083

As Stella and Joshua were about to leave, someone called out from behind.

“Star.”

Stella turned and found herself facing her uncle Hugo.

She offered him a polite, measured smile. “Uncle Hugo, is there something you need?”

Hugo smiled warmly. “Star, you haven’t met your grandparents yet, have you? When you have some free time, let me take you over to the Cameron family estate to visit them. When they heard they had another granddaughter, they were over the moon. They keep talking about you, hoping to meet you soon.”

Stella kept her tone courteous. “My brother mentioned he misses our grandparents too. I’ll come by for a visit with my brothers another day.”

She glanced at Hugo and his son, then added, “Uncle, cousin, I have some things to take care of right now, so I’ll be off. I’ll be in touch when I’m free.”

Without waiting for a reply, Stella and Joshua walked away.

Hugo’s expression stiffened.

Ever since that mess a few years back—when that troublemaker from the second branch got involved in an altercation and, leveraging his connection to the Williams family, ended up killing someone—the three Williams brothers had kept their distance from the Cameron family.

They used to visit the Cameron estate from time to time, if only for the sake of the elderly couple. But after that incident, the Williams brothers stopped coming altogether, and the business orders from their side started to dry up. It was clear they wanted to cut ties.

There were rumors that Stella held a ten percent stake in original shares. If they could win her over, perhaps the Camerons could regain their place among the elite families.

They assumed Stella, having grown up away from the family, hadn’t seen much of the world. They thought if they played the family card and offered her a few favors, she’d be easy to win over.

No one expected Stella to greet them with such cold indifference.
