The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance

Chapter 527

At this point, she seemed to recall something and curled her lip in disdain.

"Just now, I saw Aurora walk in... She's over there, chatting it up with all those movers and shakers. Honestly, for someone with her background, she sure loves the spotlight."

She gave a little snort. "Let's see how proud she is when the truth about her parentage comes out."

Wendy, always calmer than Katrina, spoke softly, "Quinn, don't say things like that."

Katrina looked unimpressed. "I'm just telling it like it is."

As close friends, they all knew about Stella's situation with the Williams family.

For some reason, though Katrina had only met Aurora a handful of times, she seemed to dislike her intensely.

Of course, as Stella's friends, their loyalties naturally lay with her, which made it easy for them to harbor a prejudice against Aurora.

After all, they'd watched Stella struggle on her own for years, ignored by her in- laws, and in the end, divorced. The Williams family hadn't offered Stella the support she deserved, yet now they were putting a girl like Aurora on a pedestal for the world to see.
