The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance

Before returning to the Williams family, she had already done her research on her mother's side.

But perhaps the Cameron family had always kept a low profile; aside from basic information about the family members, she hadn't been able to dig up anything useful.

Even when Nora was still alive, she rarely spoke of her parents or her side of the family.

Truth be told, Stella barely knew anything about her maternal grandparents.

The Williams family, on the other hand, was comparatively straightforward.

Stella's paternal grandparents had passed away many years ago.

Now, as she caught Uncle Hugo sizing her up, Stella suddenly understood why her mother had always avoided talking about the Camerons.

Though Hugo's demeanor was warm and kind, the way he looked at her wasn't the gaze of a loving relative-it was more like a businessman examining a valuable asset.

Her cousin Aherne, too, seemed friendly enough on the surface, but Stella caught a fleeting trace of condescension in his eyes.
