Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath

Chapter 337

Avery's eyes fixed on the little red dot that marked their target. "Mr. Schultz, the signal's somewhere nearby."

No sooner had the words left his mouth than a convoy of cars pulled up behind them. Bodyguards spilled out in synchronized motion. The sheer number of people showing up was intimidating. Xander, his voice cold as ice, uttered a single word, "Search."

His gaze, intentional or not, swept briefly toward where Stella was hiding. Those eyes, though typically nonchalant, were chilling enough to send a shiver down her spine. Stella was desperate to call Ronald, to warn him not to come, fearing that he wouldn't have enough backup.

"Quickly, comb the area thoroughly," Shawn barked, orchestrating the team.

The group dispersed swiftly, with several heading down the path and three or four making a beeline toward her hiding spot.

Stella gritted her teeth, cursing Xander's treachery. If he could betray his own friends, there was nothing he wouldn't do.

Just as she was about to pull out her phone to call Ronald, a blinding light beamed from another direction, forcing her to turn her head away instinctively.

Xander and Ronald had come face to face. In that tense moment, Stella feared they'd start shooting right away, but Ronald's car rolled to a stop, and he stepped out. Xander leaned nonchalantly against the hood of his car.

Ronald narrowed his eyes, pulling out a gun and firing a shot that whizzed past Xander's ear.

In the deafening silence that followed, Xander swore he could hear the strands of his hair being sliced off.

Shawn sucked in a sharp breath and rushed to check on Xander.

Hidden in the bushes, Stella's heart skipped a beat.

Yet Xander remained as unmoved as ever, a sardonic smile playing on his lips as he eyed Ronald.
