The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance novel Chapter 1686

At the mention of the word "girlfriend," Stella shot a subtle glance at Joshua.

However, her small movement didn't escape Leonard's notice.

Leonard scoffed. "Girlfriend? Did she agree to that? Joshua, don't act like some avenging hero. What you've done is no more noble than anything I have.

"Anyone in this world can condemn me, but you have no right."

The sudden appearance of two tall, striking men in the restaurant drew nearly everyone's attention.

"Wow! Those two guys are gorgeous!"

"With that kind of presence, you can tell they're not ordinary people..."

"What's going on here? It looks like two men fighting over one woman. She's living the dream!"

However, the surrounding chatter had only just begun when it was abruptly silenced.

A black pistol was in Joshua's hand.

He aimed it at Leonard, a smile on his lips but a cold, murderous glint in his eyes.

"Leonard, if you had just stayed home and kept out of Star's sight from now on, I might have let you live.

"But you just had to come looking for death..."

Joshua's gaze turned fierce and bloodthirsty. Stella was so close to him that she could see the killing intent in his eyes growing stronger.

Her heart skipped a beat, a sense of impending dread washing over her.

The moment he pulled the trigger, Stella instinctively shoved him.

"Joshua!"

"Bang!"

The sharp crack of the gunshot echoed through the restaurant. After two seconds of stunned silence, piercing screams erupted.

"Ah! He shot him!"

"Run!"

"Oh my god! Call the police! Someone call 911!"

The people who had been watching the spectacle moments before now scrambled to flee the restaurant.
