The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance

Chapter 611

"Remember back when everyone joked that Sherman was Aurora's fiancé, and then Stella ended up in bed with him instead? And now, after going on a blind date with Sellers, she's mixed up in some scandal-accused of inappropriate conduct, no less."

Simone gave a playful shrug, feigning lightness. "Looks like Sellers has no choice but to marry Stella at this point."

"What good qualities? She grew up in the middle of nowhere, probably just got lucky to make it into Neo-Vespera University. Look at the people she hangs around now—that says enough about her ambitions."

Simone's eyebrows shot up in surprise. "Stella actually graduated from Neo- Vespera?"

Sherman just scoffed, "Probably just scraped in by sheer luck."
