The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance

Chapter 473

Chapter 472

Even if Stella produced Raven's ID, they could just claim it was fake.

She'd admitted to Stella's identity herself as Ms. Chapman, yet neither of them wanted to believe it.

They clung to any excuse not to trust her, which was precisely why Star couldn't be bothered to explain further.

Haynes stayed silent; his expression said enough.

Lauretta realized there was no point in arguing, so she simply let it drop. "If you don't believe me, then so be it."

The four of them finished their meal in almost complete silence, conversation dying off entirely.

Once the plates were nearly cleared, Stella began to rise and politely excuse herself, only for Haynes to finally speak up.
