Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath

Chapter 684

Ronald's face had clouded over again.

Well, it made sense. After all, it was his own little sister who'd been hurt by that jerk. No matter who the guy was, he deserved what was coming to him.

He glanced at Stella, sitting quietly by his side. "Go on and get yourself some dinner."

"Huh? Aren't you eating with me?"

"I'll eat in a bit, sweetheart." His voice softened as he gave her a gentle nudge.

Stella nodded, obedient as ever. "Okay, I'll go eat first then."

She really was starving.

Sure, Ronald had kept her supplied with plenty of grapes and chips all afternoon, but honestly? When you're hungry for real, snacks just don't cut it. You need a real meal.

When Ronald and Stella came back into the house, Yvonne looked like she was on the verge of tears.

Ronald headed for the stairs, and tossed a look over his shoulder. "Yvonne, come with me to the study."

"Okay,” she muttered, glancing at Stella.

Stella's eyes were full of worry for her. What girl doesn't wish things could just be simple with the person she loves?

But Dan wasn't just a bad boyfriend-he was dangerous. And what he'd done today... well, Yvonne had every right to be furious.

She'd stormed in and, well, let's just say Dan and his buddies got a taste of her knuckles. Only after swinging at a few faces did she feel her rage begin to settle.
