The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance

Chapter 1167

Stella gripped the pistol tightly, her face drawn and tense.

She waited, found an opening, and pulled the trigger.

Her shot hit a man square in the leg.

Stella didn't dare shoot again. She hastily tucked the gun away and ducked behind cover, heart pounding.

As the killers shifted their focus toward her, Joshua's eyes turned icy.
