The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance

Chapter 608

Stella rubbed her wrist, wincing at the ring of bruises. At least nothing was broken.

"That man is dangerous," she said, watching Sellers' retreating figure. "He's not like Sherman. He's not someone you can deal with so easily."

Sellers was nothing like Sherman. He held all the real power-connections, resources, influence that Sherman couldn't even dream of.

Abby felt it too; this man was a whole different level from Jasper or Sherman. Even now, just remembering the way Sellers had looked at her sent a chill down her spine.

She hesitated, voice barely above a whisper. "Should we tell Mr. Burton about this?"

Stella shook her head. "Neville told me once-Mr. Burton may be respected in the family, but he's already handed over control. The power isn't his anymore. Sellers runs the Burton Group now. Even Mr. Burton might not be able to stop him."

She paused, her gaze distant. "Besides, Mr. Burton's already done enough for me. Should I really ask him to go up against his own son?"

Abby fell silent.

Stella glanced over, offering a reassuring smile. “Don't worry. Sellers won't dare touch me as long as Mr. Burton's on my side. If I didn't know him, who knows what would've happened tonight."

Abby let out a long breath. "How is it that, in the entire Burton family, Mr. Burton's the only good one?"
