The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance

Chapter 465

What Coleman didn't know was that, at that very moment, Stella had already been granted early admission to Neo-Vespera University.

Still, Stella was young and proud, with a fierce sense of dignity.

She refused the card Coleman offered her.

Coleman sighed, "You may only be a year younger than Aurora, but you're nothing like her. Take the card, all right? If it's not enough, you can always come to us—or to Dad. After all, you're family. Life out there couldn't have been as comfortable as it is here. If you want to buy some designer clothes, jewelry, or maybe a car, just make a list. We'll take care of it for you. We don't want anyone thinking we're treating you unfairly."

If you need more, ask them? Make a wish list?

She'd barely set foot in the house and they were already encouraging her to indulge in extravagance.

It didn't feel like they wanted her back as family-more like she'd returned just to spend their money.

If she really did what they suggested, it would only give them another reason to look down on her.

Stella had never lacked for anything growing up. Back home, she was the golden girl-smart, popular, and from a wealthy family.
