Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath (Stella) novel Chapter 918

He could have just told her, right? Why did he have to get all condescending?

She was so mad!

Yvonne was fuming. Xander remained silent.

"Hey! I spent weeks frantically searching for Susanna, terrified that her disappearance would drive a wedge between you and my brother. And this is how he treats me?" The more she thought about it, the angrier she got.

"Do you know anyone on his team?" Xander asked.

"Of course. I know Barnaby and Silas."

"Call them."

"Is that a good idea?" Yvonne hesitated. "What if they're with Hull? I'll just sound like a nosy gossip."

Hull's tone had already made her feel like that. And she wasn't that kind of person… was she?

"So what if you sound like a gossip? Is it a crime to want to know who you're gossiping about?" Xander reasoned.

"Good point."

Yvonne decided he was right. She pulled out her phone and dialed Silas. He wasn't with Hull at the moment. He was a bit surprised to see Yvonne's name pop up on his screen but answered respectfully, "Ms. Quinn."

"Silas, I need to know. Is Susanna with Hull?"

"Huh?" Why was she asking that?

"Is she, or isn't she?" Yvonne pressed.

"Yes, she is."

The line went silent. Yvonne felt like the world was crumbling around her. Her mind went blank, a roaring storm of emotions crashing down on her.

For a long moment, she couldn't process it.

Silas, hearing nothing on the other end, cautiously asked, "Ms. Quinn?"

Yvonne's voice was tight. "You're saying Susanna is with Hull?"

"Yes?"

"Since when?"

"She's been with him the whole time," Silas said matter-of-factly. He saw no reason to hide it. As Hull's right-hand man, he knew the situation with Black Gate was nearly wrapped up.

That sentence—"She's been with him the whole time"—nearly sent Yvonne's soul flying out of her body.
