The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance novel Chapter 356

“You... you’re completely out of your mind!”

Keen felt a flicker of guilt, though he tried to hide it, tossing out the words before hurrying away.

…

Jasper Wilkinson was rescued not long after—thanks to Rachel.

When Jasper was released, only Rachel was there to meet him.

Her expression was dark and clouded.

Haynie had refused to pull strings for Jasper, so Rachel had been forced to turn to someone else.

She really hadn’t wanted to reach out to that person.

Just the thought of him sent a chill down her spine.

Sometimes, Rachel suspected the man was downright unhinged.

With her head lowered, she stared anxiously at an earring in her palm.

If…

If he ever found out that the person he was looking for wasn’t actually her—

She’d be ruined. Worse than ruined.

His methods were terrifying.

Rachel knew she was making a deal with the devil.

She had to marry Haynie as soon as possible.

If that madman ever tracked down the real owner of the other earring, and realized she’d lied—

She didn’t want to imagine what would happen.

But this was a big city. Finding one person wasn’t easy.

If it were, he never would have come to her in the first place.
