Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath (Stella) novel Chapter 638

Seriously, what is it with Hull these days?

Does he not listen to me anymore? Now he’s even asking Susie for some kind of “payment.”

If he wants something, why not just say it straight out?

He knows Susanna’s been losing her mind ever since she got to Ferrowland, worrying about her mom.

But instead of helping, Hull keeps stringing her along. What’s wrong with this guy?

I never realized Hull was such a piece of work before.

Bottom line, whatever’s going on between Susanna and Hull right now is a total mess, and Stella’s brain feels like it’s turning to mush.

They exchanged a few more words on the phone before hanging up, and just then, Ronald came out from the back room.

He spotted Stella leaning against the door and ruffled the back of her neck. “What’re you looking at?”

“Huh? Oh, I was watching my sister… Wait, where’d she go?”

She was right there a second ago!

She just took a call from Susie and—poof—gone.

Ronald glanced at the now-empty doorway. “She went out.”

“Yeah, Xander came to see her. She was saying something about ‘kicking Xander out.’”

Wasn’t she going to kick him out? Why’d she disappear too?

Honestly, with her, who knows—maybe she just needed to go blow off some steam.

Wouldn’t be the first time.

“Oh, right, Susie called me just now,” Stella said.

Yvonne could handle herself just fine around Xander, but Susanna’s situation was actually serious this time.

Ronald frowned when he heard Susanna had called again. “She called you again?”

“Yeah, she’s freaking out.”

“Hull’s handling her stuff. What’s she so worried about?”

Ronald sounded a little annoyed. He didn’t like how Susanna always ran to Stella for everything.

Back before she’d gone to Portis City, she used to hang on his every word...

But Stella didn’t pick up on Ronald’s mood. “Didn’t you say you’d have Hull take care of it?”

“Did you know Hull actually asked Susie for payment?”

Ugh, unbelievable.
