The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance

Chapter 277

Stella stopped in her tracks, staring at him in disbelief.

"What did you just say?"

Haynes gave her a crooked smile. "You suddenly changed your mind, refused to give me Rachel's medication, then turned around and demanded money from me -and on top of that, you deliberately made things difficult for Rachel over something trivial..."

He arched an eyebrow. "Stella, are you sure you're not just doing all this to get my attention?"

Stella couldn't help but laugh. "Haynes, your ego honestly knows no bounds. Not everyone is desperate enough to pick up what someone else has thrown away. If she doesn't find it disgusting, I certainly do."

Her words wiped the smile from both Haynes and Rachel's faces.

Stella recalled the hefty bank transfer she'd just received, and without another word, tossed the life-saving medication to Haynes.

"I keep my promises. That's the full first round of treatment. If she doesn't take it and things get worse, don't come blaming me."

With that, Stella shook off Haynes's grip on her wrist and turned to go.
