The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance novel Chapter 1181
“But—”
Before she could finish, the call was abruptly cut off.
Jake stared at his phone, the dial tone echoing in his ears. For a long moment, he was at a loss for words.
Across the room, Harold, buried in his paperwork, glanced up and caught sight of Jake’s stunned expression. From their earlier conversation, he’d already gathered the gist.
He sighed. “See? I told you—Mr. Gardner’s patience only goes so far. The only reason he’s put up with it this long is out of respect for her.”
Jake finally snapped out of his daze. “Which just goes to show—Stella is Mr. Gardner’s real Achilles’ heel.”
Harold shrugged. “I wouldn’t be so sure. We used to think she was special too, didn’t we? But look how that turned out.”
Jake looked up suddenly. “And what makes you so certain she isn’t still special to him?”
Harold blinked, momentarily thrown. He opened his mouth to argue, but no counterpoint came.
After a pause, he relented. “You’re right. Who really knows what’s going on in Mr. Gardner’s head?”
Jake nodded. “But one thing’s certain: Mr. Gardner treats Stella—and the one before her—differently from everyone else. As for Rachel…”
Jake and Harold exchanged a knowing smile. Some things didn’t need to be said out loud.
Rachel was just a passing amusement for Joshua. Nothing more.
—
Rachel didn’t last long—she confessed to everything.

The same rotation blaming Stella trying to get her destroyed. Isn't the writer tired of writing the same foolishness overand over again? This is exhausting....
Can’t wait to see what joshua will do...
Why would the author of this book do that to Stella? Such cruelty!...
So many chapters are incomplete. Missing pages. Hard to get continuity...
Please move on from Stella's troubles, we need more exiting news. Like Joshua discovering that Stella is the one he has been looking for,the owner of the earring....
