Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath (Stella) novel Chapter 1148

Yvonne shot Lott an icy glare that could freeze hell over.

Under her deadly gaze, Lott immediately clamped his mouth shut. Ashley rushed in to do damage control.

"Everything happened so fast! We couldn't even process it. Our only thought was to run. Yvonne, we were just so scared of you."

"Fine, you panicked and ran," Yvonne said coldly. "But once you calmed down, why didn't you bring him back to me?"

Because before we could even catch our breath, you had already tracked down Dan Murray and mopped the floor with him," Shawn answered.

It was the brutal truth.

After they had dragged Xander away, before any of them could figure out their next move, Yvonne had stormed in and battered Dan.

Dan had just been minding his own business, playing cards. Who had he provoked? Honestly, looking back, they actually felt a little bad for him. He had taken a horrific beating for absolutely nothing. Thank God Yvonne had found a scapegoat to unleash her fury on. If she had used her brain and investigated properly, all of them would have been dead meat.

Yvonne scoffed. "So you all just decided to play dead?"

"We were hoping you'd assume we were already dead, so you wouldn't even have to bring flowers to our graves," Shawn admitted shamelessly.

Yvonne was speechless.

These idiots were never this united on a normal day. How did they always manage to sync up perfectly when it came to pulling off spectacular disasters?

"Look, Yvonne," Ashley pleaded, "let's call a truce. Promise you won't beat us up if you run into us on the street."

The mere memory of her pummeling Dan was enough to give them nightmares.

They continued pouring her drinks and serving her food, treating her like absolute royalty.

In truth, Yvonne's anger had already cooled. A lot of time had passed, and whatever fury she had left had been thoroughly taken out on Dan anyway.

She picked up Shawn's present. "I do like this gift, but aren't you a little cheap? You only bought one thing?" She glared at him in dissatisfaction.

Shawn froze for a half-second before his survival instincts kicked in. "Just tell me what else you want, Yvonne! I'll buy it. I swear I'm not cheap!"

Are you kidding? If buying her the moon meant she'd forgive him, he'd find a way to drag it out of the sky.
