The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance

Chapter 15

Maisie rubbed her eyes, trying to ensure she wasn't seeing things.

Noticing Maisie's unusual behavior, Keen couldn't help but ask, "Maisie, what's up?"

Maisie cautiously handed her phone to Haynes. "Sir, this..."

Haynes glanced down and saw Stella had left the group chat. His expression darkened further.

The next moment, Haynes' phone rang.

As punishment, he took Keen to the O'Brien Mansion and told Stella she'd never see Keen again if she didn't apologize.

At the time, Keen was having a flare-up of his condition, running a high fever. Stella chased them to the mansion, but Haynes wouldn't allow anyone to let her
