The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance

Chapter 264

Jasper took a sip of his whiskey, shaking his head in disbelief. "Honestly, I didn't see it coming. But that woman, she really went for it, demanding a billion dollars from Haynes. Can you believe her nerve?"

The dim lighting in the private room cast shadows over Foreman, obscuring his expression.

Jasper continued his chatter, relentless. "Isn't there supposed to be a cooling-off period for divorces? I bet that woman won't actually go through with it..."

The door swung open once more, and Haynes entered.

"You're back," Haynes said as he settled into the sofa, his voice calm and composed.

"Yeah," Foreman replied, observing Haynes carefully. "I heard from Jasper that you're divorcing Stella?"

Haynes' brow furrowed ever so slightly, a hint of irritation crossing his features.
