The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance novel Chapter 623

Aurora asked, “What does this have to do with Stella?”

Sherman’s jaw clenched. “Uncle just arrived in Neo-Vespera today. He has no enemies here, and the car’s always serviced on schedule. The only person he clashed with today was Stella. Aside from her, I can’t think of anyone else who’d go this far.

And…”

He paused, a dangerous glint in his eyes.

“She’s always despised you, Aurora—wouldn’t hesitate to get rid of you if she could. If she tampered with Uncle’s car, it’d be killing two birds with one stone!”

Aurora’s brow furrowed. “Sherman, these are serious accusations. You can’t just throw them around without proof.”

Sherman let out a cold laugh. “Think about it, Aurora. If something happened to you, the Williams family would only have Stella left—she’d inherit everything by default. As long as you’re still around, no matter how hard Stella tries, she’ll never get a piece of what’s yours.

You grew up in the Williams family, pampered from day one. Stella, on the other hand, was raised out in the sticks, scraping by. Now she’s back, watching you have everything she never did—how could she not be jealous?

Maybe before, she couldn’t touch you. But now… it wouldn’t even be hard for her.

Aurora, stop being so naïve.”

Aurora opened her mouth to argue, but the car jolted violently again.

Simone cut in, “Now’s not the time for this. We need to figure out what to do.”

Sellers’ eyes were cold and focused.

Everyone’s lives were literally in his hands—he had to be careful.

He said, “Since the brakes are out, our only option is to force a stop.”

There weren’t many cars on the road at this hour, but he still had to swerve to avoid them, and the vehicle rocked dangerously.

Sherman’s worry showed. “Uncle, your car’s been modified, so there’s some extra protection. But Aurora and Simone—they might not handle an impact like that. They could get badly hurt.”
