Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath (Stella) novel Chapter 584

"What happened?"

Ronald's warm fingertips brushed gently over her neck, his voice low and soothing. "Who did this to you?"

"Huh?"

Hearing Ronald's question, Yvonne instinctively touched her neck, feeling the faint bruise.

"Did you go see Dan?"

Yvonne fell silent, her thoughts instantly flashing back to that infuriating encounter. Mentioning Dan was like poking an open wound.

Yes, during their scuffle last night, while others might not have noticed, Yvonne could clearly feel it. Dan wasn't holding back at all; each move was calculated to hurt.

That's why, in the end, she hadn't held back either, knocking him out cold. It was laughable, really.

Once upon a time, Dan had been the man she cherished, the one whose memories she held dear. But now, he had turned on her with such ferocity. Wasn't it just absurd?

Yvonne took a deep breath. "I went to get something from him."

"Xander's file, right? Do you really think retrieving it will make any difference?"

Yvonne sighed. "I doubt it. But Xander's been hounding me for it like a madman."

It was clear from Xander's demeanor yesterday—if she didn't get that file back, he wouldn't let it go.

"Did you manage to get it?"

"No," Yvonne admitted, a hint of frustration in her voice. "I knocked Dan out, but he didn't have the file on him."

Dan must have been tougher than she expected. Even after she beat him like that, he refused to give up the file, leaving her with Xander breathing down her neck.

"Don't go looking for him again," Ronald advised.
