Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath

Chapter 328

Xander showing up in Portis City at this particular time likely meant he'd already caught wind of Stella being with Ronald.

Susanna's eyes welled up with tears the moment she heard that Stella might be in trouble.

"What are we going to do? Mr. Quinn can bring her back, right? There's nothing Mr. Quinn can't do, right?"

But Stella's temperament was far from smooth. She was headstrong, and Susanna genuinely feared that Stella's blunt, straightforward nature might end up costing her.

Hull wasn't in the mood to deal with Susanna, so he turned on his heel and walked away.

Finley watched Susanna standing there in the chilly breeze, looking utterly miserable, and scratched his head.

"She doesn't need you worrying about her. That girl knows how to charm people. Her fiancé wouldn't dare do anything to her."

Talking about Xander, though, that guy was truly shameless. It was just a casual remark from the elders, yet he took it to heart and went around Ferrowland proclaiming Stella as his fiancée.

For the past couple of years, he'd been on a relentless mission to find Stella, using the "fiancée" card at every turn.

Ronald sent quite a few people out, practically ready to wipe Xander off the map, but Xander was a slippery one. It seemed like he lived to defy Ronald and didn't care about the Schultz family or his sister Regina. No matter what threats you threw at him, none of it fazed him.

Susanna sighed. "But Star and Mr. Quinn already..."

"Girl, worry about yourself. Hull's the type to hold a grudge. You pantsed him, and you can bet he'll settle that score one day."
