Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath

Chapter 529

As their eyes met, Stella quickly averted her gaze.

Wow, when did Hull's stare become so intense? He was kind when Ronald was around, wasn't he?

Was this the look he'd been giving Susanna lately? No wonder Susie was so scared.

With the vibe he's giving off, it's not just Susanna who's frightened, Stella's pretty uneasy herself.

Barnaby glanced at Hull's not-so-happy expression. Then he respectfully approached Stella. "Hey, Princess Stella, it's not that Mr. Miguel isn't letting you take her, but you can't take her away now."

Barnaby thought, "You've got to be kidding me. That woman belongs to my boss now. You think anyone can just waltz in and take her?"

Stella raised an eyebrow at Barnaby's words. "What do you mean?"

With one look, her eyes returned to Hull, whose gaze was now fixed on Barnaby.

Receiving Hull's silent command, Barnaby felt a rare sense of accomplishment. Finally, he'd done something clever before his boss.

He turned back to Stella. "It's complicated. You know Ms. Tucker nearly got Mr. Miguel killed last night, right?"
