Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath (Stella) novel Chapter 891

Ronald couldn’t be bothered with Xander and just hung up the phone.

Xander heard the abrupt beep, signaling the call had ended. “Ugh, what a jerk!”

“All our misunderstandings are cleared up, but he never mentioned giving back the stuff he snatched from the Schultz family!”

Thinking back to three years ago…

When Stella went missing, Ronald found out Xander had something to do with it, and he certainly didn’t go easy on the Schultz family.

Xander had skipped town, fled overseas.

Ronald, furious, not only sent people after him, but took his anger out on the Schultz family too.

Back then, Ronald managed to swoop in and take over a bunch of the family’s projects—almost wiped the Schultz family out completely!

Yvonne rolled her eyes at Xander. “You’re unbelievable.”

Xander grumbled, “I’m just stating facts…”

Seriously, all that stuff Ronald took from the Schultz family, is he just gonna keep it?

The misunderstanding’s cleared up—shouldn’t he give it back?

How’s that fair…?

…

Meanwhile, Stella was on the phone with Susanna.

Susanna, curled up in Hull’s arms, went wide-eyed as she listened to Stella. She’d just overheard Yvonne and Ronald arguing—loudly—about the whole mess.

Yvonne was so worked up she was ready to whisk Stella away just to make a point.

Susanna shivered. Even without seeing Yvonne in person, she could feel how fiery her temper was.

Stella sighed, “She’s super anxious. I feel awful right now!”

Even if none of this was really Stella’s fault, knowing where Susanna was and keeping it to herself made her feel guilty.

Susanna heard the worry in Stella’s voice. “Should I just reach out to Yvonne?”

“Don’t! Right now, she thinks you’re with Ronald. At least that’s keeping her from totally losing it.”

If Yvonne was this mad just thinking Susanna was with Ronald, a call from Susanna herself would just add fuel to the fire.

The thing that started this whole mess had become almost irrelevant. The real focus had shifted—now it was all about picking Black Gate apart!

Susanna sighed, “I’m just worried about my mom right now.”

“Don’t stress,” Stella replied. “Black Gate is in total chaos. They’ve got no time to worry about your mom.”

“But Hull’s demanding they hand her over!”

Stella winced. “Well… there’s not much anyone can do. Nobody’s thinking straight over there. They’re just running around like headless chickens, not even stopping to figure out what’s really going on with your mom.”

Susanna fell silent.

Honestly, that was exactly what was happening. Black Gate was an absolute disaster.

Even when Yvonne had stormed in to search for Susanna, Black Gate didn’t have a clue. They’d torn their own place apart, and still found nothing.

Susanna was dumbfounded.

“So, what is all this even about?”

Stella shrugged. “Who cares? As long as that old jerk Ronald is having a rough time, I’m happy.”
