The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance novel Chapter 596

Sherman said, “A date? Didn’t you tell Grandfather you were going to propose to the Williams family?”

Sellers replied, “Grandfather said the Williams family hasn’t agreed, and there’s been no formal engagement with our family. So it doesn’t count.”

A thought crossed Sherman’s mind, and he couldn’t help but grumble.

“Don’t get me started. I don’t know what’s gotten into Grandfather lately—he’s been so muddle-headed.

I heard that, over the years while he was working as a doctor, he met a woman who completely wrapped him around her finger.

Karl and I figured, if she could make Grandfather happy, even if she was cozying up to him on purpose, it wouldn’t hurt to throw her a few favors.

But we never expected…”

Sherman paused, lowering his voice. “She turned out to be the long-lost heiress from the Williams family.”

Sellers’ eyes narrowed slightly at that.

“The same woman who could threaten Aurora’s position and might end up tarnishing her reputation?”

Sherman nodded. “Exactly. Her original name was Stella, but later it was changed to Raven Williams.

Years ago, I pulled a few strings and got her kicked out of the Williams family. I never thought, after all this time, she’d resurface.”

Sherman hesitated, then added, “Now, she’s got Grandfather so charmed that even I—his own grandson—don’t compare in his eyes.

I’m worried she’ll use this to get back at us, and Aurora will end up paying the price.”

Sellers answered coolly, “She wouldn’t dare. And I won’t give her the chance.”

Sherman felt there were things Sellers needed to know—better to be forthright before he underestimated Stella and landed himself in trouble. After all, he’d already suffered a setback with her once before.

“Uncle, Stella isn’t as simple as you think.

Mr. Williams, out of old affection, wants to bring her back into the family.

To back her up, Grandfather—who’s always avoided the spotlight—is actually hosting a public reception for her.

And that’s not all…”
