The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance

Chapter 321

Abby Murphy was just stepping out of the kitchen when she saw who had arrived —and her face instantly fell.

"Officer, there must be some mistake. Star hasn't leaked any trade secrets. Are you sure you've got the right person?" she blurted out anxiously.

The officer replied, "Whether there's been a mistake isn't for you to decide. Please, miss, we need your cooperation."

Abby looked like she wanted to argue further, but Stella gently reached out and stopped her.

Stella nodded at the officers. "I understand. I'll come with you."

Then she turned to Abby, her voice calm. "Don't worry. I'll be fine. Just make sure to call my lawyer."

Seeing how composed Stella was, Abby's nerves settled-at least a little. Right. She needed to get Star a lawyer.

"And one more thing..." Stella quickly listed off a few instructions.

As Abby registered what Stella was saying, her eyes widened in disbelief. "Star, you... did you already see this coming?"
