The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance novel Chapter 1407

The girlfriends of these young heirs exchanged excited, gossipy glances. This was a bombshell. They absolutely had to share it with their friends.

...

And so, the story of Aurora and Leonard's night together spread like a contagion.

At first, it was relatively tame: Aurora and Leonard were in a hotel room, and Sellers had caught them. But the more it was retold, the more fantastical it became.

Soon, Aurora's carefully constructed 'socialite' image was shattered. The purity and flawlessness she was once known for were replaced by a reputation for promiscuity.

While Aurora was generally well-liked, she had her detractors. Many of the men she had rejected now seized the opportunity to slander her, concocting vivid, detailed lies.

"She acts like she won't give me the time of day in public," one would say, "but in the bedroom, she's a different person... always the one to initiate."

"Oh, man, you have no idea what her appetite is like, the things she's into... You know Simone, right? Those two are practically sisters. They share everything, including men."

"Heh, she's got this little mole in a certain spot, if you catch my drift..."

"Wow, Aurora puts on such a goddess act, but she's really that kind of person?"

The rumors became a wildfire in their social circles.

Emboldened by the stories, a wealthy heir who had long desired Aurora decided to make his move. He approached her at a public event, making a series of lewd and insulting remarks.

Aurora slapped him across the face.
