The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance

Chapter 851

Stella suspected it probably had something to do with Simone.

She didn't ask any further.

After Stella and Joshua left, Aurora turned to Simone.

"So? Did he buy it?"

Simone shook her head. "Hard to say. I think he's half-convinced, half-doubtful. Still, he's not nearly as cold as before."

Simone nodded in agreement. "True. But he did let slip some useful things."
