Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath

Chapter 533

Stella hung up Ronald's call with a sigh, turning her attention back to Susanna, who was clinging to her like a lifeline. "It will be fine," Stella assured her gently.

"Star, thank you." Susanna's voice trembled as she spoke, overwhelmed with emotion.

Life had thrown a lot at Susanna lately. She felt her whole world was spinning out of control, but Stella's unwavering support kept her grounded. Even though she was far from home in Portis City, Stella's presence had been a beacon of hope, helping Susanna hold it together.

"Come on. Don't mention it," Stella replied, brushing off the gratitude.

"I need your help with something else," Susanna said.

"Is it about finding your mom?" Stella guessed.

Susanna nodded. "Yeah, and Tania too."

Those people took Tania. Susanna was worried about her safety.

Stella replied, "We're doing everything we can, but there's still no news."

Back in Portis City, Stella had already put people on the task of finding Susanna's mother, but days had passed without any news. Whoever Susanna's mother had crossed must be some bad character. If necessary, she might need to pull some strings through Ronald.

Susanna was about to thank her again when Barnaby came down the stairs. "Ms. Tucker, my boss wants to see you."

Susanna instinctively stepped closer to Stella, her grip tightening. The mention of Hull made her uneasy.
