Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath

Chapter 563

Susanna was always the picture of a well-behaved girl.

Stella had advised her to stay out of Hull's way and do absolutely nothing, and Susanna took that advice to heart. It seemed a wise choice, especially considering the amount of trouble she'd accidentally stirred up during her short time by Hull's side.

That afternoon, she huddled in her room, waiting for Hull's team to finally uncover the truth.

A soft knock interrupted her thoughts as she was about to call Stella.

"Who is it?" she called out.

"It's me," came Hull's deep voice from the other side of the door, sending a jolt through Susanna, who hurriedly put her phone away.

"What do you need?" she asked, not moving to open the door. Instead, she instinctively clutched a throw pillow to her chest, as if it could somehow protect her.
