The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance

Stella pushed through the crowd and hurried over to help Joshua to his feet.

The moment the reporters spotted Stella, their demeanor softened noticeably. After all, people respected strength, no matter where you were.

"Ms. Cameron is here!"

"Ms. Cameron, this Joshua-he's your assistant, right? Did you hear about the news he made this morning?"

"Ms. Cameron, they say Joshua is a gigolo who preys on women's feelings. You'd better watch out and not let him take advantage of you."

Instead of swarming her, the journalists kept their distance, their words more like friendly advice than accusations.

Stella kept her tone polite and composed. "Joshua was in a car accident yesterday and needs to stay in the hospital for a while to recover. I hope everyone can give him the space he needs to get better.

As for those rumors... Once he's out of the hospital, we'll hold a press conference and give everyone a proper explanation."

Now that Stella had become a national icon, the crowd was willing to give her this much respect.

"All right, since you've said so, Ms. Cameron, we'll take our leave for now."
