The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance

Chapter 611

Aurora hadn't even opened her mouth when Simone, standing nearby, let out a laugh and jumped in.

"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."

Aurora turned to Sellers, her tone gentle. "Sellers, Stella isn't nearly as bad as you think. Mr. Burton's willing to back her up, and he arranged for you and Stella to meet. That should tell you he has a high opinion of her."

She paused, searching for the right words. "Honestly, Stella has a lot of good qualities."

No sooner had she finished than Sherman gave a derisive snort.

"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."
