Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath (Stella) novel Chapter 1173

Ronald's wedding tonight was a massive spectacle, attended by powerful figures from all over the world.

But his entire focus was always on Stella. The moment the ceremony concluded, he whisked her away.

Leaving Xander Schultz and Idris scrambling to handle the aftermath.

Yvonne was pregnant and thoroughly exhausted.

Since Xander wasn't around, she couldn't be bothered to return to the Schultz family estate and decided to head straight back to the Quinn Castle to sleep.

But halfway there, her car was forced to a halt.

Dan Murray stepped out of the Maybach blocking their path. Dressed in a sleek black suit, his sharp features were tightened into a hard scowl. Even from a distance, Yvonne could feel the dangerous hostility rolling off him in waves.

The moment her car door was pulled open.

Yvonne shot him a mocking glare. "If I recall correctly, Black Gate is currently tearing itself apart, isn't it?"

"If you lose your advantage now, Black Gate is going to have to drop the Murray name entirely."

What a complete mess Black Gate had become.

None of Adelle's three children belonged to Derek Murray, leaving Dan as the only legitimate heir according to the paternity tests.

But right now, Lacey Tucker and Derek were at each other's throats, throwing the entire syndicate into total chaos.

The battle for the next leader had reached a critical boiling point.

Yet, here Dan was, wasting time standing in front of her.

Meeting the raw derision in her eyes, Dan pressed his lips into a tight line. Slowly, his gaze drifted downward.

Until it finally landed on her still-flat stomach.

Noticing where he was looking, Yvonne frowned deeply. "What?"

"Is it still there?" he asked hoarsely.

He was talking about the baby.

Yvonne raised an eyebrow in cold silence. His question clearly irritated her. "What about it? Do you have a problem with that?"

Her nonchalant attitude made Dan's expression darken severely.

His demeanor was entirely different from before.

He stared intently at her stomach, looking as if he wanted to burn a hole straight through it.

The emotions swirling in his eyes were incredibly complex.

Anger, agonizing pain, and utter helplessness.

Catching the intensity of his stare, Yvonne felt a flicker of confusion and instinctively placed a protective hand over her abdomen.
