The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance

Chapter 307

A sleek black luxury car pulled up in front of the auction house.

The door swung open, and a strikingly handsome man, every inch the aristocrat, stepped out with measured grace. He extended his hand toward the interior, helping a woman out of the car.

She wore an elegant, pale blue fitted gown that accentuated her graceful figure. Her long hair was swept into a flawless chignon, revealing a smooth, ivory forehead. Every detail of her appearance radiated understated beauty and poise -a kind of ethereal charm that seemed untouched by the ordinary world.

"Look—it's Haynes and Rachel!" someone in the crowd recognized them, unable to keep the awe out of their voice.

"They really are the perfect couple," another person sighed. "It's such a shame... Deanna O'Brien tore them apart. I always thought Haynes would end up marrying someone from a family as prestigious as his."

"But instead, he married a woman who barely finished high school, someone who can't hold a candle to Rachel in any way. The only reason he married her at all is because she got pregnant—and with a son, no less."

Someone gasped in surprise. "She only finished high school? That can't be right! I heard Haynes graduated from one of the top business schools in the country, finished dual PhDs before he was thirty-he's a bona fide financial genius. How does a woman like that even keep up with him? Do they have anything to talk about?"
