The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance novel Chapter 779

Afterwards, the remaining nine contestants posted a joint letter announcing their withdrawal from the competition.

Their message was clear: if Stella didn’t back down, they would quit, leaving her to compete alone—making her the uncontested winner by default.

When Abby saw the news, she was livid.

“Star, can you believe this? They’re ganging up on the organizers, trying to force you out. Their schemes are so obvious, it’s practically written all over their faces!”
