The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance

Chapter 35

Rachel's voice trembled as she spoke, her vulnerability palpable.

"Ms. Cameron, you don't need to remind me. I know I don't have much time left." "Ms. Cameron, you're right. What Haynes gave me is all a sham. I'm sorry."

The scene shifted abruptly to a clip of Stella "pushing" Rachel into the water, followed by a distressing moment where Rachel apologized, looking utterly defeated.

Then, as if to seal the narrative, a video showed Rachel nearly losing her balance and almost getting hit by a car earlier that morning.

The comments under this trending topic exploded.

[Sleeping her way to the top? Gross! This wife is so vicious. Maybe there's more to Rachel's illness than we know!]

[So, this tragic couple was separated by Stella? What a despicable woman! And I thought she was just a pretty face.]

[Pfft, pretty? My friend is a plastic surgeon, saying her face is all fake.]
