Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath

Chapter 538

When Stella heard Susanna's voice, she lifted her head. "Huh?"

"Oh, just go back. Everything's fine here," Susanna insisted.

Stella couldn't believe her ears. Wasn't this the same person who had been calling her multiple times a day, crying her eyes out? And now she was saying everything was fine?

"Did Hull threaten you?" Stella asked, her voice laced with concern.

"What? No, it's not that. I can't really explain it right now, but you should head back," Susanna replied, sounding a bit flustered.

"I'll call you if anything happens, okay? Now go on, shoo!" Susanna added, trying to sound reassuring.

Stella was still in disbelief. Was this really the same Susie who had sobbed on the phone, begging Stella to return and take her away? And now she was telling her to leave?

As Susanna turned to walk away, Stella called out, "Wait."

Susanna turned back, looking a bit puzzled.

"Are you sure you don't want to come with me?" Stella asked again.

Susanna nodded firmly. "Yeah, I'm sure."

Stella was baffled. "So Hull isn't threatening you?"

Susanna shook her head. "Nope."

Stella was at a loss for words. This was quite the turnaround. Just moments ago, Susanna clung to her, crying and pleading not to be left behind.

Susanna rubbed her hands together nervously. "Just go back for now, okay?"
