Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath (Stella) novel Chapter 840

But Susie’s mom was missing, and she hadn’t known Hull for long.

She knew Hull had feelings for her, but honestly, after such a short time… who could say if any of it was for real?

Susanna hesitated. “Uh… what are you talking about?”

Her mind had been a mess for weeks, just sort of drifting along wherever Hull’s plans led.

Now, hearing Stella’s question, Susanna was completely thrown.

Stella pressed, “What do you mean, what? I’m asking—has anyone from the Murray family given you a hard time? Did they hurt you?”

“I—I haven’t even been around the Murray family people,” Susanna stammered.

The Murray family? She’d actually been itching to give them a piece of her mind lately.

But, well… Hull had told her not to get involved.

Plus, Hull’s friend Barnaby was always raining on her parade, telling her that whatever tough-girl skills she’d picked up with Yvonne were nothing compared to what the Murrays could do.

Thinking about it, he was probably right.

The Murray family’s Black Gate was infamous in Litamark—a terrifying organization if there ever was one.

Those people grew up in danger; Susanna had only been with Yvonne for, what, three weeks? No comparison.

But now Stella’s line of questioning… what was she getting at?

“You haven’t been with the Murray family?” Stella’s jaw dropped.

If not them, then where had Susanna been all this time?

Susanna shook her head. “Nope.”

“So you mean my sister wasn’t the one who found you?”

“Yvonne’s looking for me?” Susanna blinked, genuinely confused.

Stella just stared at her. The whole world seemed to crack for a second.

Susanna had been with Hull all this time. She’d even called Stella, but Ronald had picked up.

So Ronald definitely knew Susanna was with Hull.

Oh my god…

Meanwhile, Yvonne was tearing up Litamark with Dan, convinced Dan had kidnapped Susanna.

“Wait—so you left my sister’s place and went straight to Hull? He picked you up?” Stella asked, her voice hollow with disbelief.

“Yeah,” Susanna nodded. “Hull came to get me.”

Stella’s mind reeled.

Hull had picked up Susanna right from Yvonne’s, and Yvonne didn’t even know? She’d been at war with Dan for days, thinking he’d snatched Susanna away.

Oh boy.
