Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath (Stella) novel Chapter 923

Yvonne was still fuming.

“Seriously, are they just staging all this for show?” She honestly couldn’t figure it out.

What on earth went on between Hull and Black Gate, anyway? With people like her brother and Hull, why would they need to fake anything? What was the point of all this...?

Xander handed her a glass of juice. “Okay, enough,” he said. “If you’re really that mad, then just walk out—I’ll take you home right now.”

Ronald kept saying their only mistake was being too slow to notice Hull’s odd behavior at first. But honestly...? That explanation felt a little too easy—and almost cruel.

The thought of skipping town crossed Yvonne’s mind, but after a moment, she shook her head. “No, we should just keep working with Hull.”

Hull had been by Ronald’s side for years, doing more than his share for the Quinn family. The only reason Black Gate was struggling now was because she and Xander were playing their parts so seamlessly. But—when she thought back...

Oh, for crying out loud!

All along, they’d thought Hull was backing them up. But in truth, they were just cogs in Hull’s plan from the start. No wonder Ronald kept calling them clueless. They really were. Tearing into Black Gate like maniacs—all for nothing in the end.

After dinner, Yvonne and Xander stepped out of the restaurant only to run straight into Dan—who apparently had been hunting for her. He was glaring daggers at her.

“You told me this had nothing to do with you! Then what the hell were you playing at? You’d better start explaining—now!”

Dan's anger made Yvonne’s pulse spike with sudden guilt.That was the difference between being in the right and being in the wrong. When you had the moral high ground, you could rage all you wanted. Lose it, and even your bravado fell apart.
