The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance novel Chapter 628

Sellers pressed his thin lips together, a chilling murderous intent flickering in his eyes.

Jonathan’s brow furrowed. “Sellers, what exactly happened in your car accident?”

Sellers’ voice was icy. “I’m not sure, but someone definitely tampered with the car.”

Jonathan pressed further. “Does this have anything to do with Stella?”

A cold, mocking smile tugged at the corners of Sellers’ mouth. “Funny, isn’t it? Stella just happened to be at the scene when the car failed. Quite the coincidence, don’t you think?

Besides… Yes, the brakes gave out, but what actually caused the crash was Stella ramming into us.

You can check anywhere, it’s not exactly a secret.”

Haynes’ pupils contracted. When he looked at Stella, guilt and regret clouded his expression.

“Stella, I’m sorry. I had no idea you were actually kidnapped. I thought… I thought it was just a way to get my attention, to bring me back…”

His voice was hoarse, trailing off as if he didn’t know how to go on.

But Stella merely smiled, already past caring. She turned to Dr. Brown, “Thank you for your concern, Dr. Brown. I’ll take better care of myself.”
