Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath (Stella) novel Chapter 378

Now, Avery and Cable were out of the picture too.

Ronald was truly ruthless. He used to cause a ruckus over Stella; now, he's quietly losing his mind for her.

...

The group quickly made their way back to the airport. Hull had already arrived and successfully rendezvoused with Ronald.

Ronald was on a call, and whatever was said on the other end made his face harden. He hung up and turned to Hull. "You need to head back to Ferrowland right away."

Hull raised an eyebrow. "Something up?"

Ronald replied, "Doyne's been acting sketchy. They've smuggled in some weapons from Cyris Isle, and it's already in Ferrowland."

A sharp glint flashed in Hull's eyes. Standing up, his tall frame exuded a silent intimidation, especially with the tattoo peeking from his shirt collar, marking him as someone not to be trifled with.

Handsome as hell, but just as dangerous. Though he had a thing for women with hourglass figures, you'd never catch him being soft for any of them.

No wonder Susie had been so terrified back then.

With that kind of presence, who wouldn’t be?

Hull adjusted his suit. "I'll go and seize the whole lot."

If they're not playing nice, he'll make sure they do.

Ronald shared the sentiment but threw in a token, "Try not to go full pirate on them."

Stella rolled her eyes. Finley couldn't help but chuckle.

Telling him not to go full pirate while ordering a raid? Sounded a bit fake, didn’t it?

Barely had Hull left when Stella got a call from Susanna.

As soon as she picked up, Stella asked, "Did Lola kick Ursula out of the Larkin family?"

With Susanna calling, Stella's first thought was always gossip—either about the Quarry family or the Larkin family.

But this time, Stella was off the mark.

Susanna's voice came through the line, full of woe. "Neither."
