Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath (Stella) novel Chapter 587

Lottie and Xander headed straight to the study.

Meanwhile, Stella was helping Yvonne get dressed, while Yvonne was grumbling under her breath.

"That shameless Xander, can you believe how much time he has on his hands? Who would've thought he’d record the conversation?"

In that situation, who in their right mind would think to hit the record button?

"But Xander did..."

Yvonne muttered, "What a jerk."

She was fuming.

Stella shrugged, "Well, you said it yourself, he's shameless. Who knows what he plans to do with the recording?"

Yvonne's face darkened at Stella's suggestion.

Yeah, what was Xander planning with that recording?

Stella speculated, "Trying to blackmail your brother?"

Yvonne clapped her hands together. "Exactly! He was chatting with Ronald back then, so the recording must have been about him."

She started piecing it together.

When she went over, it was just Xander and Ronald in the study. What else could he be recording for, if not to get something on Ronald?

Hearing this, Stella paused.

Then she picked up the phone, "I need to call my brother."

What was Xander up to, recording a private conversation with Ronald?

That’s not something a normal person would do.

The call connected quickly.

"Is the wedding dress here?" Ronald asked.

"Not yet," Stella replied.

Ronald chuckled softly, "So, you miss me? I’ve only been gone half an hour."

His voice was tender and teasing, causing Stella to blush and glance at Yvonne, who was giving her a look of mock exasperation.

Stella quickly turned away, covering the phone with her hand. "No, that’s not it."

"Oh? Then what is it, Star?"

"Xander came around asking my sister to marry him and played a recording," Stella explained, cutting to the chase.

If he kept flirting, Yvonne might actually start crying.

Even though she pretended not to care about Dan, Stella remembered how Yvonne looked when she returned—hair a mess, clothes damp.

Clearly, she'd spent quite some time outside...

Even the strongest have their sensitive spots.

Dan had been a part of her life for so long; how could she not care at all?

Ronald's voice grew serious. "What recording?"

"Xander was saying my sister wouldn’t want to marry him, but then suddenly there was her voice saying she would."

"We suspect when Xander spoke with you, he recorded it. Only you know what was said, but he’s likely trying to blackmail you."

Stella summed it up succinctly.

Ronald listened, his eyes narrowing. Xander had recorded their conversation?

Behind his glasses, his eyes turned cold.

"Don’t worry, he wouldn’t dare."
