The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance

Stella barely had time to process what was happening when something came flying straight at her.

Her bodyguards, focused on holding back the surging crowd, never expected anyone to throw something over their heads. For a few seconds, no one reacted.

Just as the egg was about to hit Stella, someone suddenly stepped in front of her.

Stella watched, stunned, as Joshua caught several eggs in his hand with almost effortless grace.

Before she could make sense of it, Joshua casually tossed one back.

The egg traced a perfect arc through the air and splattered right on the face of a young woman standing at the edge of the crowd.

A shrill scream rang out as the girl clutched her face, egg yolk and shell dripping from her hair and down her clothes. She looked utterly humiliated.

The entire scene left everyone, even the most seasoned reporters, momentarily speechless. Then a few stifled laughs broke the silence. Some couldn't resist capturing the spectacle on their phones.

Stella quickly pieced it together: the girl had tried to nail her with an egg, only for Joshua to intercept and send it right back.
