The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance

Chapter 446

Chapter 445

If it hadn't been for Jasper's meddling, she never would've had a fair shot at negotiating with Haynes. Haynes would've backed her into a corner long ago.

Haynes clearly didn't expect a response from Stella. He cut in, voice cool and detached. "That's enough. Let's put this behind us."

Lacey bit her lip, mortified.
