The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance

Chapter 1042

The financier, who'd originally planned to join the scuffle, froze at the sight before him. Swallowing hard, he instinctively took several steps back.

Blood pooled across the polished marble floor.

Skyler's eyes widened in shock. He shouted for help.

"Someone, get a doctor! Now!"

Frantic footsteps echoed down the hallway, and in moments, chaos consumed the entire office.

Stella, however, stood apart from it all, calm and detached, as if none of this concerned her.

Soon after, paramedics arrived and rushed the oil tycoon to the hospital as well.

Seizing the confusion, the financier slipped out. Whatever arrogance he'd shown earlier had completely vanished.

A woman this unhinged-if she'd dared ram into them with her car, who's to say she wouldn't pull a gun next? Trading the life of an illegitimate daughter for theirs... it was a bargain, really.

If Skyler later claimed Aurora was mentally unstable, wouldn't they have died for nothing?

Just minutes ago, the financier and the oil tycoon were scheming to squeeze some concessions out of Skyler before negotiating a truce. Now, it was clear there'd be no truce.
