The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance novel Chapter 598

Stella was momentarily at a loss for words.

Candida’s curiosity got the better of her. “Star, when you sell your paintings, do you sign them with your real name?”

Stella shook her head. “No, not my real name. To be honest... I don’t even remember what alias I used back then. I just made something up on the spot.”

Neville let out a quiet chuckle. “Star’s signature was ‘Summer.’”

Joshua, who had been silent all this time, seemed to be lost in thought as he listened to their conversation.

Just then, Abby tugged gently at Stella’s sleeve, her voice hushed with excitement. “Star, look over there... Is that Aurora?”

Stella followed Abby’s gaze and spotted Aurora making her way toward the front row.

Abby grinned. “Well, well, Sherman the hopeless puppy dog is here too. I wonder if he and Jasper will ever have a real showdown—could be interesting to see who comes out on top.”

She squinted, noticing someone else. “Wait, who’s that guy with Sherman? They look a bit alike—is he Sherman’s brother?”

From across the room, Antoney caught sight of Sherman. His lips pressed into a thin, grim line, and his gaze turned instantly cold.

When he returned to the Watson family estate, he would make sure Sherman paid dearly for deceiving Star and trying to manipulate her feelings.

Neville glanced over and answered absently, “That’s Sellers. He’s Sherman’s uncle, and he’ll be the next head of the Burton family.”

“Sellers?” Abby muttered, brow furrowed. “Why does that name sound so familiar?”

Stella suddenly remembered. “...Oh, right. Mr. Burton wanted to introduce me to him—a potential match.”

Mr. Burton had planned for her to meet Sellers, but apparently something urgent came up on Sellers’ end and he couldn’t make it to Neo-Vespera yet. Mr. Burton had told her not to worry, just to wait a bit longer.
