The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance

Seeing this, a wave of irritation welled up inside Simone.

She couldn't help but feel that Joshua was deliberately distancing himself from her in front of Stella. It was always the same-whenever Stella was around, Simone found herself slipping down the list of priorities, always coming after her. Stella looked away and broke the silence. "Did they catch the attacker?"

Jonathan's expression darkened noticeably. "No. Simone was too busy rushing Aurora to the hospital to go after the guy."

At that moment, Sellers spoke up. "By the time I sent someone to look for the attacker, he'd already vanished."

He met Stella's gaze directly, his words carrying a subtle implication. "Even the security cameras didn't catch a thing. Clearly, someone went out of their way to erase the evidence."

Stella frowned. "What are you implying?"

A cold, almost mocking smile tugged at the corner of Sellers' mouth. "Stella, isn't it a bit too convenient that Aurora was attacked at your concert?"

Stella stared back at him, her tone icy. "Are you trying to pin Aurora's injury on me, Mr. Burton?"

"Ms. Cameron, you misunderstand me." Sellers' lips curved in a polite smile, but his eyes remained cold. "I just find it... quite a coincidence. It's one thing for other cameras to be wiped, but even the ones at the concert entrance were destroyed."
