The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance

Chapter 493

The next morning, Stella, Marvin, Antoney, and the others arrived early at the concert venue.

"I thought after so many years as an agent, I'd seen just about everything. Turns out, being broke really does limit your imagination. This place is next-level extravagant!"

Stella, too, looked around, taking in the lavish décor. Despite having spent years with the Williams family, she'd been a student back then and had rarely set foot in exclusive clubs like this-let alone a concert venue so luxurious.
