Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath

Chapter 451 Susanna was still teary-eyed, her face stained with fresh tears.

Barnaby took one look at her and couldn't help but warn, "Come on, quit the waterworks. Boss doesn't like it when women cry. You might just lose him if you keep it up."

Susanna was taken aback, her eyes widening in disbelief. And just like that, the tears flowed harder. Barnaby, not wanting to witness the scene any longer, added, "Hurry up. His patience isn't unlimited, and he's not going to wait forever."

With that, Barnaby headed downstairs.

Susanna managed to stop crying, but her resolve quickly crumbled, and tears began to fall again.

Hull had even sent another person to fetch her. It seemed like there was no avoiding it; she was going out whether she liked it or not. Oh heavens, she really didn't want to leave the house today.

In the end, Susanna hurried to wash up and change into fresh clothes, still wearing Hull's oversized shirt. Before stepping out the door, she shot off a quick text to Stella Quinn.

Subject line: Last Will and Testament!

The content? Needless to say, it was one hell of an essay.

Meanwhile, over at Stella's place, she was having meal with Tegan.

Seeing the words "last will", Stella uncontrollably spit out her coffee. Seriously?

Tegan looked over. "What happened?"

"Susie's really lost it this time," Stella sighed.

She had actually prepared a will. What did Hull do to her? Scare her half to death?

Tegan asked, "So, is Hull really trustworthy?"
