The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance

Chapter 191

Upon seeing Haynes, Marvin turned to Stella with a knowing look and said, "Stella, I'll go rest for a bit. Once you're done talking, come find me."

Stella's voice was gentle, "Alright, you go ahead."

She was determined to retrieve her mother's necklace, no matter what it took.

The big question was if Rachel and Haynes would stick to their word. But even if they didn't, it wouldn't be the end of the world. She was ready to handle people as shady as them.

While the internet might have a short memory, she didn't mind giving them another moment in the spotlight.

"You play the violin?" Haynes's voice was low and filled with an unreadable emotion.

Stella didn't deny it. "Yes."

Haynes looked at her, "Why didn't you ever mention it?"

"Did you ever ask?" Stella gave a slight smile. "After our child was born, I said I wanted to work. You insisted it wasn't safe to leave the baby with someone else, and I should stay home to care for them."

"At that time, you didn't even ask what kind of work I did."

Haynes fell silent.
