Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath (Stella) novel Chapter 922

He glanced at Yvonne; she was lost in thought, too, digesting Ronald’s comment.

What had Hull done, right at the beginning?

She mentally rewound—nothing. He’d had absolutely no reaction.

Xander voiced it: “No reaction at all?”

Ronald’s reply cut in, “Hull only started moving against Black Gate after you’d already begun your op. Does that look fast to you?”

Yvonne was at a loss for words, so was Xander.

It was obvious. Someone as sharp as Hull should have acted much sooner if Susanna’s disappearance was real.

Susanna was his woman.

If he truly believed she’d been taken by Black Gate, never mind what he’d do to those guys—Yvonne herself would’ve felt Hull’s wrath first.

But what actually happened? Yvonne hadn’t received a single call from Hull. Not even a text. That was not how an angry man would react if his girlfriend had been abducted.

Yvonne struggled to connect the dots. “Wait, but didn’t he help us fight Black Gate for their stuff later on? If Susanna was really with them, would he just stop at stealing their stuff?”

Ronald’s silence and Xander’s pointed stare answered the question for her.

For a moment, their eyes met: was it possible… were they really just that slow on the uptake?

Yvonne refused to accept this. “…And what about you?” she shot at Ronald.

“I didn’t know at first, either,” Ronald admitted, “I was guessing.”

Yvonne’s mouth opened, then closed. Well, so much for blaming Ronald—he was just better at guessing. Which apparently meant the rest of them were idiots.
