Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath (Stella) novel Chapter 695

After Giving Aira a Piece of Her Mind

Yvonne finally felt a sense of relief. Idris was just about to take her back to the Quinn family estate when her phone buzzed. It was Julia calling, and something about her tone was off.

They agreed to meet at a little café across from Night Elf—a trendy bar in town. When Yvonne arrived, she saw Aileen was there too.

Yvonne’s mouth felt dry as a bone.

Julia had already ordered her an iced fruit punch, and Yvonne barely said hello before downing half the glass in one go.

“Ah, that’s better,” she sighed, feeling the last bit of anger melt away, the icy drink helping more than she cared to admit.

“So… why’d you want to meet here, and at this hour?” Yvonne asked, setting her glass down, genuinely confused.

She knew her friends all too well. To be honest, Julia and Aileen were what you’d call her “party pals.” They hung out at galas, hit up bars together, but meeting in broad daylight at a coffee shop? That was a first.

Julia looked nervous, glancing at Yvonne, then at Aileen. Her whole vibe was off.

Yvonne frowned. “What’s with the nerves? Spit it out already.”

Seriously, Julia was never this jittery. Anyone who got along with Yvonne generally had a bit of bite to their personality—Julia and Aileen included.

Aileen nudged her. “Just tell her already.”

Her tone was weirdly heavy, which made Yvonne even more uneasy.

Yvonne glanced between the two of them, her gut twisting. “What’s going on?”

Julia met her gaze, drew in a shaky breath, and muttered, “Honestly, I don’t even know how to say this…”

Her eyes flicked to the faint marks on Yvonne’s neck. They were all adults here—nobody was naïve, and Julia’s look said it all: Yvonne had clearly gotten up to something last night.

Julia, panicking, smacked herself on the cheek a couple of times, the slaps loud and dramatic.
