Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath

Chapter 623

To put it bluntly, Xander and Yvonne's marriage was nothing but a business arrangement.

Just as Xander walked in, he caught Ronald saying, "Clingy and desperate," and those words made Xander's jaw clench.

Clingy and desperate? Really?

People get desperate when they're head-over-heels in love. That wasn't the case here. He and Yvonne were simply... partners in a deal.

How did it turn into being "desperate" in Ronald's mouth?

Catching Xander's glare from the corner of his eye, Ronald just smirked. "Tell Yvonne to keep her temper in check, will you?"

Idris looked confused. "Keep it in check? Why?"

But before he could finish, he saw Xander standing at the doorway, arms crossed, face like thunderclouds.

Ronald shrugged, "Can't help someone too much, you know."

Idris choked on his coffee. "Uh...right..."

If possible, Xander's scowl got even darker.

Ronald picked up on Idris's awkward cough, turned, and met Xander's icy stare head-on.
