Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath (Stella) novel Chapter 367

Just then, the unmistakable voice of Finley echoed through the room.

"Mr. Schultz, do you really think Shawn, this delicate little flower, can handle my research?"

Xander’s eyes narrowed dangerously.

Shawn, who had been pleading for Xander’s help moments earlier, snapped at the insult.

"Are you talking about me, you insensitive jerk?"

Insensitive? What did he mean by that?

Finley didn't quite get it. "Yeah, I'm talking about you."

Without missing a beat, he pressed the scalpel to Shawn's neck and glanced back at Xander on the phone screen.

"Mr. Schultz, how about I start the dissection from the carotid artery?"

Stella’s eyes widened in alarm. The carotid artery? That was a death sentence…

Xander’s expression turned icy as he let out a dry laugh.

"You all think Shawn matters that much to me?"

"Xander, you…"

Xander cut Shawn off. "Why don't you just kill him? He's not that important to me. But this little princess here… She's got a lot of value. Bro Ronald should really think twice. I'm not exactly the gentle type, can’t promise she’ll come out of this unscathed. If she ends up scrawny and hurt, don’t blame me."

Finley chuckled. "Fine, I'll take care of him now."

Without hesitation, Finley dragged the scalpel across Shawn’s neck.

"Ahhh..."

Shawn screamed in agony, lunging to grab the scalpel from Finley. In that moment, the two of them began a fierce struggle.

Meanwhile, Stella grabbed Xander’s wrist and bit down hard.

Xander grunted in pain. "Ow, Stella, you're biting me again!"

Chaos erupted on both ends of the phone call.

Finley roared, "Shawn, you bastard, I’m gonna kill you today!"

Xander shouted, "Stella, you crazy woman, let go of me!"

Earlier, she'd hit him with a steel showerhead, leaving his head ringing, and now she’d sunk her teeth into him! Again!

Stella, determined, wasn't about to let go.

She opened her mouth, still stained with a bit of his blood.

Xander’s blood boiled with frustration.

"Hmph, if I mess you up now, Ronald will be on my case. I’ll deal with you once I get what I want."

With that, he tossed Stella to the side. She rolled her eyes at him.

Grinding his teeth, Xander knew she was banking on the fact that he wouldn’t actually harm her. And, annoyingly, she was right.

He glared at Stella, exasperated. "Tell me honestly, does Ronald have the thing or not?"

Even though Ronald had said on the phone that the thing was still with Bernie, Xander wasn’t convinced.

Stella smirked. "And you'd believe me if I told you?"

Xander was incredulous. Of course, he wouldn’t believe her. Everyone in Ferrowland knew this little troublemaker was in cahoots with Ronald.

…

Meanwhile, back with Ronald, his presence exuded a chilling danger.

Finley, exhausted from his earlier scuffle, had just climbed out of the fray only to find Ronald holding Shawn captive.
