Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath

Chapter 213

Just as they were about to leave together, Ronald's phone buzzed in his pocket, the screen lighting up with an unknown caller. He glanced at it, his expression darkening instantly.

Gently ruffling Stella's soft hair with a still tender voice, he said, "You go ahead."

"Alright." Sensing he had something to handle, Stella nodded and turned to leave.

Ronald watched as she descended the stairs, waiting for her footsteps to fade before answering the call.

"Did you find Star?"

The voice on the other end was smug, laced with arrogance and provocation.

Ronald's grip on the phone tightened. A grim aura enveloped him as he coldly retorted, "What's it to you?"

"Of course, it concerns me. After all, Star..."

"Xander Schultz, you better watch your back!"

Ronald's voice sliced through the air, cutting off Xander's words.
