The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance

Chapter 452

And on top of all that, there was still the matter of Keen O'Brien.

Because of Rachel, the other woman, things between Keen and his wife had gotten so out of hand they'd filed for divorce. It had even escalated to violence- knives drawn, neither willing to back down. Scandals like that, even among the upper crust, would become everyone's favorite gossip over cocktails and evening dinners.

Neither the O'Brien family nor the Hayneses could afford that kind of disgrace.

In that moment, Foreman finally understood what Stella was getting at. He fell silent for a long while before he finally spoke. "Star, you're playing with fire here. What if... what if Haynes really just wants to make a point? Aren't you putting yourself at serious risk?"

Stella just smiled, unconcerned. "If I'm not allowed to vent my anger, who knows? One day, I might actually lose control and do something I can't take back. I might even end up killing him."

Foreman's lips parted, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he kept quiet.

Forget it. Things had already gone too far. And since Antoney Watson's situation hadn't been orchestrated by Haynes, maybe it was best not to tell Stella the truth after all.
