Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath (Stella) novel Chapter 640

Ronald chuckled.

While he was distracted, Stella sneakily shot a text to Susanna: [Hull wants you as payment.]

Whether Susanna would buy it or not, Stella herself wasn’t convinced.

...

Meanwhile, Susanna stared at Stella’s message, completely dumbfounded. Wait, what? That can’t be right…

Wasn’t this supposed to be about compensation?

What the heck did Star mean by that text?

She immediately called Stella, ready to get to the bottom of this, but Stella was already on her way to a gala, with Ronald right there. She didn’t answer, just hung up.

Listening to the dial tone, Susanna squinted at the message again, then fired back: [What’s that supposed to mean?]

It was just supposed to be compensation. How did she suddenly get dragged into it?

Stella replied: [My brother said Hull wants you. You’re what he wants as payment.]

Susanna just…froze.

He wants her? If that was true, then—oh my god.

[I don’t buy it.]

She shot back without even thinking.

Stella was honest: [I don’t either, but that’s what he said.]

Who knew if it was true, but Ronald had said it, so…who could really say?

Susanna: …

She didn’t buy it either.

[Why not?]

She typed, and immediately regretted it. Why did that sound like she was offended he *didn’t* want her?

Stella: [!!!]

Right now, she was sitting next to Ronald, who was busy reviewing something on his tablet. Seeing Susanna’s reply, Stella zoned out for a second.
