Chapter 777

Manipulative. Backstabbing.

That's pretty much how Yvonne summed up Dan these days—a jerk always scheming against her, never missing a chance to throw her under the bus.

As soon as she hung up on Xander, Yvonne was already heading straight for Black Gate, not wasting a second.

Meanwhile, Xander's expression was... complicated, to say the least.

"Dan snatched Susanna?"

Shawn blinked. "Wait, what? Seriously?"

"He wouldn't, would he?"

If Dan had really taken Susanna, then what was all his previous plotting about? None of it made sense anymore.

Xander narrowed his eyes, feeling a strange emptiness settle in his chest.

Shawn asked, "So, are we still going to Black Gate?"

"Of course. Why wouldn't we?"

There was no way they'd skip this.

"And keep looking for Susanna. Just... don't let Hull's people catch on."

Xander figured if Hull found out about any of this, it would be a whole new mess.

And just like that, Yvonne's theory started to make sense to Xander too-Dan must've taken Susanna to frame Yvonne.
