The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance

Chapter 49

Chapter 50

After finishing his piece, he placed the lunchbox he brought onto the table, done with the crowd.

"Star, you haven't had breakfast, right? | brought you some," Neville said kindly.

"Thank you, Mr. Connolly," Stella replied with gratitude.

Seeing this unfamiliar man visiting Stella, Jasper couldn't help but sneer, "Oh wow, not even divorced from

Haynie yet, and you've got someone lined up? Here is a hospital. Even if you're in a rush, maybe try to be

discreet?"

He paused, aware of Haynes' presence, and refrained from going too far but added with disdain, "Stella, have

you no shame?"

Neville ignored Jasper, turning his amused gaze toward Haynes instead. "Mr. O'Brien, no matter how much you

dislike Star, is it necessary to gang up on her with your first crush and buddy while she's injured and at her

weakest?"

Haynes' handsface seemed to darken with a chill. "Since you know she's my wife, Mr. Connolly, why are you

here, so early in the morning, showering attention on my wife?"

Neville, heir to the Connolly Group, had been residing in Aetheria for stime. Rumor had it he had a five-year-

old child, with the mother's identity a mystery. Gossip suggested the child was illegitimate since there was no

word of Neville ever marrying. The Connolly Group was a powerhouse, on par with the O'Brien Group, and had

leaned toward collaborations with enterprises in Novaris, hinting at expanding there.

Neville met Haynes' gaze with a calm smile. "Mr. O'Brien, knowing you're Star's husband, why aren't you

concerned about her well-being or whether she's had anything to eat? Instead, you parade around with your first

crush, flaunting your relationship?"

"Mr. O'Brien, if you don't care for Star, someone else will."

Jasper couldn't hold back. "We're here to ask Stella, this murderer, why she deliberately hit Rachel and nearly

killed her!"

Neville glanced at Jasper and said leisurely, "You're not the police. You have no right to interrogate Star. If there

are questions, let the police handle them. Right now, Star needs rest. So please, leave."

Jasper bristled, "Hey, who do you think you are to tell us to leave? | haven't even settled the score with her for

knocking Rachel andto the ground!"

"Star knocked you to the ground?" Neville asked as if hearing a joke. "Maybe you should check with the doctor to

see if Star, in her current state, could even get out of bed to kick anyone."

Though his words were directed at Jasper, his gaze remained fixed on Haynes. "Star's foot isn't broken but got a

minor sprain. She can't get out of bed or put any weight on it for three days."

A subtle smile played on Neville's lips. "Mr. O'Brien, do you think a woman confined to her hospital bed has the

strength to harm this gentleman and Ms. Pearce?"

"Besides," he added as if struck by a thought, "Mr. O'Brien, if you doubt it, you can always have a doctor check

Star's injury to see if I'm lying."

Haynes' eyes narrowed, his intense gaze suddenly turning toward Jasper.
