The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance novel Chapter 433

“Disgraced artist? Are you kidding me?!” Abby’s eyes widened in disbelief. “Just because of some rumors about Antoney? Those stories might not even be true! What gives you the right to cancel our concert?!”

On the other end, the voice replied, “It’s only a temporary suspension. If you can prove Antoney has nothing to do with the scandal, the concert will go ahead as planned.”

Abby was furious. “They’re slandering us—shouldn’t it be their job to provide evidence? You’re really going to label Antoney a disgrace just because of a few video clips? Isn’t that way too hasty?”

There was an awkward cough on the other side. “Uh… this is an order from higher up. We’re just following instructions.”

Abby wanted to argue more, but Stella gently placed a hand on her arm, shaking her head as a signal to stop.

Abby knew she was right—no amount of arguing would change anything. She just couldn’t swallow the injustice.

For now, the only plan was to do as Star suggested: confront the accuser directly, then propose a paternity test.

…

But while Abby was busy firing back at the so-called whistleblower online, yet another problem erupted at the studio.

Someone had leaked Antoney’s studio address.

Soon, a swarm of angry netizens began sending funeral wreaths, creepy dolls, and all sorts of disturbing things to the office.

Worse still, a crowd gathered downstairs, demanding answers from Antoney.

It was Candida’s first official day at work. The moment she saw the mob outside the building, she froze in shock.

Without hesitation, she called Stella.

After hearing Candida’s shaky account, Stella spoke quietly: “Go home for today. Abby’s already rented a new studio for us. Once we’ve cleaned up, you can come back in a couple of days.”

“Okay.”

Candida hung up, ready to slip away, when a tall, sharply dressed figure blocked her path.

“Candida, I finally found you.”

She looked up, her face draining of color.
