The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance novel Chapter 627

Jonathan spoke coldly. “Stella, was it you who hit Aurora with your car?”

At the sight of Jonathan, Stella’s brows knit together, but she quickly schooled her expression back to indifference.

“No.”

She hadn’t rammed into Aurora’s car—her target was Sellers.

Of course, she hadn’t realized Aurora was in the car with him.

If she had known…

Well, she had always lived by the rule: don’t start a fight, but don’t back down either.

Jonathan’s handsome face seemed carved in ice. “I’ve already sent someone to investigate. Stella, lying won’t get you anywhere this time.

Sellers has already called the police. If you come clean now, I might still be able to help you.”

Stella let out a cold, mocking laugh. “Since you’ve already decided I’m guilty, why bother investigating at all? Isn’t it a waste of time?”

Haynes watched the exchange, an odd sense of déjà vu settling over him.

A flicker of annoyance streaked through Jonathan’s eyes. “Stella, do you understand what it means if Aurora gets hurt? She’s not someone you can push around.

If anything happens to her—even for our mother’s sake—there’s nothing I can do to save you.”

Stella scoffed. “Don’t make it sound so noble. Even if I did nothing, it’s not as if any of you would actually protect me.

Back when Sherman framed me, did I see any of you try to uncover the truth?”

Jonathan’s gaze darkened. “My father and I went through that case again and again.

That year, you and Sherman were inseparable. You say he set you up, but Stella, accusations need evidence.”

Stella’s eyes glinted with subtle mockery. “Yet here you are, interrogating me with nothing to go on.

You standing here, pointing fingers, only proves that deep down, you already believe I’m guilty.”

Jonathan faltered, his expression stiffening for a split second.

Just then, Haynes, who’d been silent all along, finally spoke up.

“Mr. Williams, Star had nothing to do with it.”
