The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance novel Chapter 1654

The gash on Joshua's arm was long and deep. If it wasn't treated to stop the bleeding soon, he could easily go into shock from blood loss.

And he was this injured, yet he still wanted to lead the enemy away.

Stella's eyes reddened. "Joshua, are you trying to get yourself killed?"

Stella rarely used Joshua's full name.

Clearly, she was truly furious.

Stella helped Joshua out of the car.

Seeing that she had found out, Joshua knew she wouldn't leave, so he didn't insist.

Just as they were about to abandon the vehicle, Joshua's eyes turned cold as he stared into the distance.

Sensing something, Stella followed his gaze.

Sure enough, more cars were speeding toward them.

With Joshua injured and their car disabled, their chances were slim if they were caught.

Stella quickly scanned her surroundings. The cars that had been used to block their path lay scattered nearby, fuel from their tanks leaking onto the ground and pooling into small streams.

Stella glanced at the approaching vehicles and had an idea.

She released the safety on her pistol and was about to fire.

Joshua, beside her, seemed to know what she was planning and stopped her.

He took the gun from her hand. "Let me."

Joshua raised the pistol and aimed at the leaking fuel tank.

The bullet hit its mark.

BOOM!

A massive fireball erupted into the sky, the flames leaping several meters high. The gasoline on the ground ignited with the explosion, creating a wall of fire that blocked the road.

Joshua's eyes were dark. In the firelight, his handsome face was cast in shadow, his expression unreadable.
