Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath (Stella) novel Chapter 882

She instinctively tried to pull her hand away from the man’s grip.

But Xander just tightened his hold.

Yvonne shot him a look. “What are you doing?”

“Checking your ring size,” Xander replied, totally matter-of-fact.

Yvonne stared at him, speechless. Was this guy for real?

“You planning to buy me a ring or something?”

“You should have one,” he said, like it was the most obvious thing in the world.

Yvonne scoffed. “Now’s really not the time to talk about this, in case you haven’t noticed—I’m stressed out of my mind.”

All because of Susanna.

“I mean, seriously, what the hell are they thinking, keeping Susanna hidden when things are this bad? Are they trying to get themselves killed?”

Because of their side’s attitude, some local groups in Litamark who never dared go up against the Black Gate before were starting to make moves. If they didn’t hand over Susanna soon, the whole Black Gate could fall apart.

And yet, they were still refusing to give her up. What the hell were they made of, steel?

“Maybe they do have a death wish,” Xander replied, sounding casual but with something hidden underneath.

Yvonne glanced at him, trying to figure him out, but came up empty. “So what am I supposed to say to Hull, then?”

This was beyond infuriating.

Xander just smiled a little. “Why don’t you ask your brother Ronald how to explain it?”

“Why him?”

“Let him deal with it!” Xander said bluntly.

Right now, Xander was convinced Susanna was with Ronald, and he almost felt bad for Yvonne, getting all worked up here. God knows what Ronald was really up to.

Yvonne looked totally lost. “Let Ronald deal with Hull? You think he wouldn’t just take it out on me?”
