Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath (Stella) novel Chapter 351

Stella was starving, and her cravings were almost unbearable.

But ice cream? Ronald would never allow it, worried it might upset her stomach.

The last thing he needed was her complaining about a tummy ache.

In the end, someone brewed her a pot of herbal soup. Stella clutched a mug larger than her face, sipping until she finally felt full.

"When are we taking off?" she asked, glancing over at Ronald.

Just then, Idris walked in. "Sir."

Ronald checked his watch. "What's the ETA for takeoff?"

"There's been a bit of a situation at the airport. An unknown group has managed to cause quite a ruckus."

Hearing this, Stella's eyebrows shot up.

"A ruckus? What do you mean?" she asked, turning to Idris, disbelief etched on her face.

"The police are dealing with them as we speak. We might be delayed for a bit," Idris explained.

Stella's mouth twitched in disbelief.

Seriously?

She'd been in this city for so long, and it was always so safe. How could something like this happen?

A thought crossed her mind, and she turned to Ronald. "You think it could be that conniving Xander?"

"Do you really think he'd dare come here and stir up trouble?" Ronald asked, raising an eyebrow.

"I don't know... he might not be what you expect," Stella said hesitantly.

Ever since Ronald came to Portis City, Stella had picked up bits and pieces from Finley about Xander’s situation. From what she’d heard, it sounded like Xander was in dire straits, almost as if he were on the run.

But the last time she saw him in Patrina, it didn't seem that way at all. On the contrary, he looked like he had the whole place under his thumb.

Finley chimed in, " So, what’s his motive for coming here to stir up trouble? Could it be because he failed to steal you away and now intends to just take you by force?”

Stella was at a loss for words. She wanted to tear his mouth off.

Finley continued, “If he really wanted to take you, he would’ve started in Patrina. Why bother coming to Portis City and causing such a huge mess?"
