Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath (Stella) novel Chapter 335

Xander squinted into the distance, watching the beam of the flashlight bobbing further and further ahead.

He was exhausted. Especially since no matter how hard they tried, the gap between them and the flashlight’s bearer never closed.

Shawn, panting heavily, felt like his lungs were about to burst. "Hey, why doesn't she just turn off the flashlight if she knows we're following her? A light in the dark is like a neon sign."

Was Stella just plain dumb? Or did she seriously think she could outrun a bunch of guys? But hearing the labored breathing around him, Shawn fell silent.

Xander shot a cold glance at Shawn. "Why do you think?"

Shawn met Xander's eyes, his mind stalling. "Yeah… why?"

Stella, the woman ahead of them, didn't seem to tire. She never slowed down, not even once.

Xander, his breaths ragged, suddenly pulled out his gun and fired at the light. The flashlight flickered and stopped moving entirely.

Shawn's breath caught, and his eyes widened in panic. "Have you lost your mind? Are you tired of living on the run? If you are, don't drag me down with you. This is insanity!"

For years, Ronald had been ready to skin them alive while they were still searching for Stella, and now Xander had just…

"Great, now we can’t even hide in Patrina anymore. Ronald will dig us up from any hole we crawl into."

He couldn't believe Xander had just shot what he thought might be the little princess of the Quinn family.

Xander, expression icy, said nothing as he strode forward. Shawn and the bodyguards followed suit.

Within minutes, they reached the source of the light, only to find a large German Shepherd on the ground. A flashlight was strapped to its head, and a phone was secured to its back.

Everyone present was left speechless.

Shawn's mouth twitched. "Uh, this... was a dog?"

Where was Stella?

Shawn glanced at Xander, whose eyes were now a brewing storm, ready to unleash at any moment. Stella had truly outdone herself this time.

Shawn muttered, "Where's her?"
