The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance novel Chapter 1441

Stella choked on the water she had just swallowed. "Cough! Ahem!"

Beside her, Mr. Franco chuckled. "So, Ms. Cameron, what do you think? Quite the specimens, aren't they? I heard you were a renowned violinist, so I made sure to select a few who have a background in music."

His smile was layered with meaning. "If you see one you like, feel free to take him home. At your level, Ms. Cameron, taking all of them wouldn't be a problem either…"

Crack.

Before Mr. Franco could finish, a sharp sound cut through the air. The house lights came up at that moment. Joshua was holding what was left of a shattered glass in his hand. Blood was trickling from his palm, dripping through the shards. It was a gruesome sight.

Stella's eyes widened in alarm. "Joshua, what happened to your hand?"

With a detached expression, Joshua tossed the broken glass into a nearby trash bin. He then calmly pulled out a few napkins and began to wipe at the blood. "It's nothing. Let's keep watching the show."

Seeing him injured, Stella couldn't care less about the performance. She stared at his bleeding hand and stood up abruptly. "No, we need to go to the hospital. Now."

She turned to Mr. Franco. "Mr. Franco, I'm so sorry, but my bodyguard has been injured. I'm afraid we have to leave. Thank you for your hospitality tonight. I'll be sure to treat you to a meal another time."
