Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath (Stella) novel Chapter 710

If someone who didn’t know Jaxon overheard this, they’d probably think he was legitimately crazy.

Stella took a sip of her oatmeal and nodded. “Yeah, he really needs to get some help. I swear, that guy’s got more energy than sense. Never knows where to put it, either.”

She rolled her eyes. “He’ll move mountains when all he needs to do is open a door.”

Ronald spent the morning at home with Stella, just hanging around. They didn’t go anywhere.

Around ten, Idris stopped by. He greeted Ronald with a respectful nod. “Sir, it’s done.”

Before Ronald could say a word, Stella blurted out, “Wait, you actually sent Jaxon to a psychiatric hospital?”

Idris nodded. “Yes, ma’am.”

Stella’s eyes went wide. “Oh my God. That’s brutal.”

Idris turned to Ronald. “Mr. Miguel had some trouble last night.”

“What kind of trouble?” Ronald asked.

Idris hesitated. “The Nelson twins—Leanne and Ivanna—the ones running Black Gate? They broke into Mr. Miguel’s house last night, tried to take Miss Susanna.”

Stella froze, spoon halfway to her mouth. “What?”

Ronald glanced at her, and Stella’s heart skipped a beat. “Is Susie okay?”

“Miss Susanna’s fine. Mr. Miguel’s fine too,” Idris reassured.

Stella let out a sigh of relief. “Thank God. As long as they’re both alright.”

She frowned. “But what did Ivanna and Leanne want with her?”

Stella had heard of the Nelson twins. Their reputation preceded them—mean as snakes and twice as ugly, rumor had it. If there was trouble, they were usually in the middle of it.

Idris cleared his throat. “They’re… well, they’re Miss Susanna’s sisters.”

Stella blinked. “What?”

“Sisters?” She could hardly believe it.

Idris nodded. “Black Gate’s current boss is also Miss Susanna’s brother.”

Stella’s jaw dropped. “You’re kidding me. Like, actual siblings?”

“As far as the public knows, yes,” Idris confirmed.
