Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath (Stella) novel Chapter 562

“So, what did you guys talk about?" Stella asked, her curiosity piqued. Yvonne was known for her knack for handling situations, and the earlier chaos had simmered down within minutes.

"He said he wants to marry me," Yvonne replied. "He wants me to meet him at the city hall tomorrow."

Stella exclaimed, "What?”

Her face froze at Yvonne’s words; clearly she found it difficult to process Xander's sudden change of heart. Weren’t they about to throw down. How did things turn around so quickly?

Yvonne let out a skeptical huff. "Do you think that jerk's up to something?"

Definitely a scheme, otherwise it’d be hard to explain his dramatic attitude.

Stella nodded. "Yeah, he must be up no good."

In just under an hour, everything had flipped on its head. Dan, who had been distant, suddenly seemed affectionate in their phone call. It was suspicious, to say the least.

"And Dan, that black-hearted scoundrel," Yvonne continued, frustration creeping into her voice. "He threw me under the bus on purpose, making it seem like I took those files for him."

Stella shook her head, at a loss for words. It was clear Dan intended to make Xander suspicious of Yvonne, but fortunately, she wasn't falling for it.

"That man's got a filthy mind," Yvonne said, shaking her head. "After everything we had, he really went there."

"What does he gain from making you the target of Xander's wrath?" Stella wondered aloud. "Did he not realize Xander had been on edge ever since Ronald had been breathing down his neck?”

The memory of Xander arriving armed today flashed through Yvonne’s mind—one misstep, and she would die. Her fingers twitched with the urge to crush Dan’s windpipe right then.
