Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath (Stella) novel Chapter 952

Stella watched as Melissa swore her innocence with such fierce determination that she finally believed her.

“Alright, I believe you,” she said.

Melissa sniffled. “So… what about the Norton family?”

“I’ll talk to Mom,” Stella replied.

Hearing that, Melissa immediately let go of her knees, grabbed some tissues, and wiped her nose. Stella took in her pathetic state, a rare sight for someone usually so composed.

“Wow. This is new—you're not usually one to cry, you know?”

“Walk a mile in my shoes!” Melissa shot back, voice thick with misery. “Accused by my whole family for something I didn’t even do!”

She looked utterly wretched—rightfully so, Stella thought. Even the proudest of people eventually bowed under enough pressure.

Just then, Stella’s phone vibrated—Yvonne was calling.

Leaving Melissa behind, she stepped aside and answered. “Hey, sis.”

“All sorted,” Yvonne announced. “Skye will give Tegan James full protection. You need to send Skye all of Tegan’s info ASAP.”

“Got it,” Stella replied, relieved, but too curious to resist. “How’d you manage to pull that off?”

Her brother always insisted Yvonne and Skye weren’t at odds, but from Stella’s perspective, those two could hardly be in the same room without sparring—they came straight at each other every single time, neither ever willing to budge.

“I told Skye Tegan was going to be her sister-in-law. How was she supposed to slack off on protecting her? What, did you expect me to do the job myself?” Yvonne said breezily.
