The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance

Chapter 268

Chapter 269

When Stella was pregnant years ago, she struggled with severe morning sickness. Her work cto a complete

halt. Stella had planned to return to her career after having the baby, but when Keen was unexpectedly born

premature, she chose to stay hand care for him. Over the past five years, she missed out on countless

opportunities.

Stella shook her head and said, "I heard from my mother that Mr. Walden is quite strict and detests nepotism. He

loathes when people try to push someone into his presence."

"My mother had a highly talented peer who was expelled from his tutelage for this very reason."

Abby was intrigued. "What happened? Tellmore."

Stella explained, "As you might know, Mr. Walden only accepts extraordinarily gifted individuals. Being selected

by him is like winning the lottery."

"Apparently, the peer who was expelled was a phenomenal cellist. My mom said her talent was unmatched,

outshining even her own by a mile."

Abby was astonished. "Are there really people that talented?"

Stella sighed, "There's always someone better out there. Mr. Walden takes on prodigies not because they're easy

to train, but because he wants to explore the limits of human talent."

After a brief pause, Stella returned to the main topic. "That peer cfrom a family of musicians. Perhaps due to

family pressure, she introduced her cousin to Mr. Walden."

"Mr. Walden listened to the cousin play and felt she didn't meet his standards, so he declined."

"But then the cousin falsely claimed to be his student and used his nfor her own gain."

"Mr. Walden's reputation suffered because of it. When he found out, he expelled the peer and established a rule

that no student of his may recommend family or friends. Failure to comply meant expulsion."

"He said that if someone truly had talent, he would find them himself without needing introductions. That's about

it."

Abby nodded in understanding. "I was wondering why, with your talent and Nora being his student, she never

put in a good word for you. Now it makes sense."

Though Abby felt a tinge of regret, she quickly perked up. "But it's okay. With your skills, someone is bound to

notice you soon. Oh, by the way, Star, our account is nearing ten million followers."

"In a little while, we can start live streaming to boost your profile even more."

Recently, Abby had been uploading videos of Stella playing music, without showing her face. While one earlier

video had revealed Stella's face, the camera was at a distance and only caught her profile. Yet, even from that

angle, it was clear she was a natural beauty, far from the typical influencer look.

To enhance Stella's enigmatic allure, Abby ensured none of the videos showed her face. Fans were eagerly

anticipating the day Stella would reveal herself.

Abby planned to build anticipation but knew they shouldn't keep the fans waiting too long. She decided that soon

Stella should do a live stream.

In these matters, Abby was far more adept than Stella. Stella nodded gently, "Alright, I'll leave all that to you."
