Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath (Stella) novel Chapter 915

After finalizing their plans, Tegan was set to fly to Yoreland the next morning.

Her departure from Portis City marked a definitive break, a complete severing of her world from Uriah's.

...

Meanwhile, in Litamark.

Dan had called Yvonne that morning, only for her to tell him that Susanna was no longer her problem.

He got the same story from Xander. Susanna was not their responsibility anymore.

So what had they been doing all day?

After fielding the fifth frantic call, Dan's face was as dark as a thundercloud.

Furious, he tried calling Yvonne again, but she didn't pick up.

Left with no choice, he dialed Xander.

Xander answered. "Yeah?"

"What the hell is your game? Didn't you say you were done with the Susanna situation?" Dan's voice escalated into a furious roar.

"We are," Xander replied calmly, his tone conveying a dead-serious finality.

And it was that very attitude that drove Dan over the edge.

"If you're done, then what the hell are you still attacking us for?" he snarled.

Exactly!

Yvonne and Xander had both claimed they were out, yet they had spent the day relentlessly hitting Black Gate's assets. Xander had even teamed up with Hull.

What was their deal now? Before, at least they had an excuse.

Both Yvonne and Hull had been demanding Black Gate hand over Susanna. As long as she was missing, they kept targeting Black Gate's resources.

Susanna was their reason for this whole mess.

But now?

They claimed Susanna wasn't their problem anymore but were still on the offensive? What was that about? Had they just decided to drop the pretense altogether?

"Susanna's situation is no longer our concern," Xander repeated.

"So?"

"But we haven't received any orders to stand down from our operations against Black Gate."
