The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance novel Chapter 576

Rachel’s eyes flickered, though her gaze remained fixed on Aurora’s earrings.

“Ms. Williams, would you mind taking them off so I can have a closer look?”

It was a bold request, bordering on rude, but Rachel was past caring about manners.

Aurora glanced over at Haynes. Seeing he didn’t object, she gave a polite smile.

“Of course.”

She unfastened her earrings and handed them to Rachel.

Rachel examined them carefully.

The design was exquisite—each drop carved from emerald-green jade, delicate patterns etched into the surface. The two earrings weren’t identical; their patterns mirrored each other, left and right.

Rachel couldn’t help but feel a wave of relief. Thank God she hadn’t tried to forge them.

The moment Joshua had shown her the earring, she’d known it was something extraordinary.

The gemstones alone were worth a fortune, and the craftsmanship—flawless, impossible to replicate.

She studied the earring in her palm.

It was identical to the one Joshua had given her.

Earrings like these—only someone like Aurora, born into wealth, could ever wear them.

Could Aurora be the one who lost the earring?

“Ms. Williams, if you don’t mind my asking, how many pairs of these earrings do you have?”

Aurora answered, “Just the one.”

Rachel pressed on. “Have you ever lost an earring before?”

Aurora glanced at her. “No, never.”

Reluctantly, Rachel handed the earrings back.

She wanted them, badly.

But Aurora wasn’t like Stella—she wasn’t someone Rachel could just take from on a whim.

Aurora didn’t lack for money, and besides, these were a birthday gift from her father.
