Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath (Stella) novel Chapter 429

With those words, the entire diner fell into an uneasy silence.

Susanna kept her head down, feeling Hull’s oppressive aura. She didn't dare to meet his gaze.

Just the thought of the incident gnawed at her insides. It wasn’t just about the missing clothes. It was the haunting question of what might have happened afterward. She needed answers, or it would eat away at her.

Time ticked by, second by agonizing second. The tension in the diner remained palpable.

When Hull didn’t respond, Susanna's anxiety spiked, and she hesitantly lifted her gaze. Timidly, she met Hull’s eyes.

When their eyes locked, she quickly looked away, her heart pounding.

Hull’s stare was intimidating. Especially with that tattoo on his neck, he exuded a sense of danger.

Susanna swallowed hard. “Um, I just want to know who undressed me.”

Hull’s response was curt. “Is it that important?”

Susanna was shocked. “What do you mean?”

She looked up at Hull again, her eyes brimming with unshed tears. She felt so wronged. She’d never been treated this way. The situation was unlike anything she’d ever encountered. Being bullied like this by a man was something she’d never imagined possible.

Hull finally admitted, “I took them off. So what?”

Susanna froze, her tears held in suspension.

“Is there a problem?”

“Isn’t there?” she asked, her voice quivering.

“What do you want to do about it?” Hull’s tone was sharp and dangerous, his presence overpowering her into silence.

Like at the airport, he had taken such liberties, and she hadn’t dared to say anything.

And now, it was the same story.

Feeling utterly defeated, Susanna lowered her head and poked at her bowl of mac and cheese.
