The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance

Chapter 476

But the truth was, they really were feeling the pressure from their families.

Stella might technically be a Williams, but she hadn't grown up in the Williams estate. She'd never spent a cent of the family's money, and the Williamses couldn't, in good conscience, expect her to shoulder any of their obligations.

Katrina grinned. "Star, I was waiting for you to say that! Good thing you didn't start dithering or second-guessing yourself, or I'd have to give up hope on you."

Wendy nodded in agreement. "We're just dealing with a pair of cheaters. Sorting them out? That's child's play."

The three of them turned to Lauretta.

"Lauretta, we'll leave this to you."

Lauretta's smile was as poised as ever, but her eyes were sharp as flint.

"So Rachel thinks she can find herself some muscle and push Star around, just because she thinks Star's got no one in her corner. Well, she's wrong. Star has us, and as long as we're here, no one gets to mess with her."

Katrina nodded emphatically. "Exactly! Let's give those two exactly what they deserve."

That very evening, Lauretta, Wendy, and Katrina took to their social feeds, posting that they'd be special guests at Stella's upcoming concert.

They weren't influencers or celebrities, so their posts didn't go viral-among ordinary people, barely anyone noticed.

But within high society, news spread fast.
