Chapter 711

Stella's gaze drifted from Candida over to Joshua.

Karl, despite all his bravado, was utterly helpless in Joshua's grip-completely overpowered, with not even a chance to fight back.

It wasn't so much Joshua's strength that stood out, but his razor-sharp mind. He anticipated everything, calculating every move with precision.

Candida, meanwhile, showed no mercy.

A sickening crack split the air as she shattered the bones in Karl's hand. Her eyes remained cold and unflinching, though her face had gone ghostly pale.

It was the first time she'd ever done something like this, and her hands trembled slightly. But she knew she had no choice-not just to avenge Star, but to keep her safe. If Karl wanted revenge, he could take it out on her; she wouldn't let him touch Star.
