The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance

Chapter 395

Israel said, "Stella got married and had a child five years ago. Her ex-husband was none other than the famous Haynes from Novaris."

Aurora and Coleman were both stunned.

Aurora was the first to find her voice. "Raven was married? And she has a child?"

Coleman added, "Ex-husband? They divorced that quickly?"

Israel nodded. "Yes, they separated not long ago. The reason, as far as I know, was that Haynes couldn't let go of his first love."

He paused, then continued, "After Dad found out he had a grandson, he was absolutely thrilled. Right now, he's preparing a gift for Stella's son to give when they meet."

Aurora's brow furrowed in disbelief. "The O'Brien Group is a major powerhouse in Novaris. How did Raven manage to marry Haynes?"

She didn't spell it out, but everyone in the room understood what she meant. With Stella's background, it should have been almost impossible for her to marry into the Haynes family. Old-money families cared about social standing more than anything, especially when it came to someone as distinguished as Haynes.

Suddenly, Israel said, "If she was the daughter of the Williams family, then marrying Haynes wouldn't have been a stretch at all."
