The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance

Chapter 127

Stella glanced over at Rachel with a cool, measured gaze.

Rachel put on her best innocent face and said, "Keen is in such a serious

Stella replied calmly, "The kid didn't bully Keen, and besides, it was Marvin who saved his life just now."

Stella's lips curled. "Funny-you're the one who organized a mob to stop me. If Keen hadn't made it, that blood would've been on your hands."

Rachel's face froze for a moment before she quickly dropped her eyes, feigning sadness. "I saw that guy was a doctor and thought he'd be more professional. I didn't want to waste any time getting Keen treated, so I held you back, Ms. Cameron."

Tears glistened in her eyes as she turned to Haynes. "Haynie, I'm so sorry. I almost put Keen in danger."

Haynes replied coolly, "It's not your fault. You were just concerned."

Stella's inner voice scoffed. Of course, Haynes would stand up for Rachel. He had been there, siding with her, getting in Stella's way. Defending Rachel meant defending himself.
