Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath (Stella) novel Chapter 1157

Typical!

The way he talked, it was as if anyone could actually pry a single dime out of his pockets once it was in there.

This was Xander we were talking about. During his years in Patrina, the Schultz family might have lost a lot, but he had aggressively carved out his own territory.

The syndicates in Patrina couldn't even handle him. And now he was claiming to be worried about Finch taking his stuff?

Finch? Who was he trying to play the victim for?

"If it's that significant," Yvonne mused, "then Susanna and Hull will have to rush back the second Stella's wedding is over tomorrow."

"Finch is the biggest headache right now," Xander agreed.

As for Lacey and Derek's dramatic fallout, Lacey was guaranteed to win. There was no need to worry about her.

The revelation that Adelle's three kids weren't Derek's was a massive blow, utterly crushing the man's ego and extinguishing his arrogance.

"We really underestimated Finch," Yvonne admitted. "I honestly thought he was just a useless rich kid."

Xander sighed. In a volatile place like Litamark, you could never underestimate anyone.

Dan despised Finch, yet Finch had managed to thrive all these years. That alone proved he was far more dangerous than he appeared on the surface.

After dinner, Xander naturally assumed Yvonne would head back to the Schultz estate with him. But Yvonne shook her head. "I'm not staying at your place tonight."

"Why not?"

"Stella is getting married tomorrow. I'm having a sleepover with her tonight."

Xander stared at her. Bringing Stella up was one thing, but sleeping in her bed?

His expression visibly darkened with blatant jealousy.

"What's with that look?" Yvonne asked.
