Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath (Stella) novel Chapter 692

"You need to go talk to Yvonne. Right now."

Shawn blinked, caught off-guard. "Wait, what?"

Xander's eyes narrowed, his tone making it clear there was no room for negotiation. "Tell her what happened this morning."

As if things weren’t already a total mess. Now he had to go face that woman himself? Just thinking about it gave Shawn a headache.

He hesitated. "Uh..."

What was he supposed to say? That the three of them had all dragged him away together?

"No way. Nope. I'm not doing it," Shawn blurted out, not even pausing to consider.

Was he crazy? If he told Yvonne the truth, she’d kill him for sure.

Honestly, with the drama Yvonne had already made out of things today, even Xander wasn’t eager to walk up to her and say, “Yeah, by the way, I’m the one who slept with you last night.”

Shawn nearly whimpered, "Come on, man. Please. Give me a break."

He was just about ready to cry. "Why don’t you go tell her yourself? I mean, you could probably handle her, right? You’re the tough one."

The word “handle” made Shawn’s face go pale. He remembered what happened to Dan when Yvonne got mad. Dan was built like a linebacker and still got flattened.

So if Xander went to see Yvonne now, everyone could guess how that’d end.

Xander snorted. “You think if I go, you'll be safe?”

"Just don’t mention it was us who dragged you away, okay?" Shawn was really on the verge of tears.

Honestly, the only way out he could see was if Xander took responsibility and explained everything. Maybe then, just maybe, the rest of them would get out alive.

He shuddered, remembering the guys who’d been playing poker last night, who all got their butts kicked. The memory made him even more terrified.

He used to think Xander shouldn’t say anything, but at this point, he was all for it.

"Bro, just do it, please?"

Xander shook his head. "Not yet."

"What? Wait? Wait for what?"

Shawn thought they were running out of time – the longer they waited, the worse it would get.

Xander’s gaze was cold and calculating. “Let’s wait until she’s finished settling the score with Aira first.”

“Huh?”

Shawn scratched his head, confused. “Don’t you think Aira is the most innocent one in all this?”

Dan was already the scapegoat here – all the blame, none of the benefit. Now Aira was about to get dragged in?
