The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance

Chapter 1235

Harold's arrival instantly broke the tense atmosphere. However, the conversation was mostly between Stella and Harold; Joshua barely spoke. He was engrossed in his phone, seemingly uninterested in their chat.

Having been by Joshua's side for so long, Harold could easily tell his boss was in a foul mood. He subtly glanced at Stella, but her expression was normal, betraying nothing.

After they had been talking for a while, Stella's phone rang. She checked the caller ID, and her eyes narrowed slightly.

"Harold, could you keep Joshua company for a minute? I need to take this call outside," she said.

"Of course, Ms. Cameron. Go right ahead."

Once outside the room, Stella answered the phone.

"Star." Neville Connolly's deep, magnetic voice came through the line. "How have you been?"

It had been some time since they had last spoken. After relocating his business to Solmaris, Neville had been focused on stabilizing his company. Shortly after, his grandmother had fallen gravely ill, prompting him to take Marvin back to Aetheria.
