Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath (Stella) novel Chapter 593

A simple phrase, "Our boss got hit by you," sent Yvonne's mind racing. She immediately understood who Manny and his crew were.

When Xander heard it, he relaxed his grip, and Kyle let out a sigh of relief. He'd been genuinely worried that a fight might break out, which would have been bad news for him.

Xander crossed his arms and smirked at Yvonne, clearly relishing the unfolding drama. Yvonne scoffed, "What do you want, an apology?"

Manny, Dan's right-hand man, removed his sunglasses, his expression icy. "Compensation," he stated coldly.

Yvonne blinked, taken aback. Kyle echoed her confusion, "Compensation? For what?"

Yvonne couldn't help but chuckle at the absurdity. She had knocked Dan out, and now they were asking for compensation? It sounded like a bad joke.

She shot a glare at Xander, "It was your stuff he stole. I only helped you get it back. Now they want compensation? Are you hearing this?"

Xander raised an eyebrow, "How do you propose we compensate?"

Yvonne shifted her attention to Manny, "Yeah, how exactly does that work?"

Manny replied, "Our boss will decide that. Ms. Quinn, would you care to join us for a chat?"

Kyle interjected, "Isn't this a bit inappropriate? They're about to get married."

Xander's eyes narrowed dangerously, "She's not going anywhere with you."

Manny's face darkened. He was listening to something through his Bluetooth earpiece, and whatever it was, it wasn't good news.

Stella reassured her, "I'll do my best to get more information."

Susanna's anxiety was palpable, especially as she struggled to even get in touch with her mother.

Stella hung up and looked at Ronald, who gave her a comforting nod. "Don't worry. Hull will handle it," he said, ruffling her hair affectionately.

Stella couldn't help but worry about Susanna's predicament, but she knew Hull was capable of managing the situation. Ronald's confidence in Hull was unwavering.

"Will Hull really help her?" Stella asked, her concern evident.

"Absolutely," Ronald replied without hesitation.
