Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath (Stella) novel Chapter 931

Tonight would be another sleepless night for the Murray family. After Dan left, a tense, oppressive silence settled over the study.

Finch, practically shaking with rage, spat out, “That little brat! Does she have any sense of loyalty to her own family?” His voice was sharp, every mention of Susanna now laced with scorn and contempt.

Derek shot him a dark look, as if daring him to keep talking, while Adelle pressed a hand to her temple, her headache growing. “Now’s not the time for that.”

Everything had spun wildly out of control. If Susanna wasn't with Hull, they’d have options: track her down, hand her over, cut a deal to get the heat off Black Gate. But now…

Ever since Dan had revealed Susanna was with Hull, all their previous assumptions shifted, making the situation infinitely more complicated. It was confirmation: Susanna had been just a smokescreen. Their rivals weren't coming for Black Gate because of her.

And if Susanna was only a pretext… then where was the real threat coming from?

For years, Black Gate and their adversaries had kept their distance—it was an uneasy truce, but it worked. Now everything was unraveling.

“I’ll kill her myself!” Ivanna snarled, unable to contain herself any longer. Fury blazed in her narrowed eyes. Without another word, she stormed for the door, her intention painfully obvious.

Adelle caught her wrist mid-stride. “Are you out of your mind?”

“If I kill her, this ends. That’s all it takes!” Ivanna shot back, her voice crackling with anger. Her eyes were bright with malice—she meant every word. In her world, Susanna was the source of their misery; take her out, and all their problems would disappear.

Adelle’s expression darkened. “Have you forgotten why Leanne’s still in the hospital?”
