Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath

Idris said, "Yeah, Susanna really did go with Hull to Yarrow Island in Nalog City."

"She called Miss Yvonne, but it wasn't anything serious. She just wanted to chat." Ronald let out a soft sigh of relief.

Back when Star was having her pregnancy check-ups, Susanna was always calling her. Ronald had really worried something might have happened.

And now Star was pregnant with triplets. He couldn't afford any more of Susanna's drama-one outburst from her could send Star into a tailspin.

Idris shook his head. "From what Susanna said, she wasn't really sure, but judging by Yvonne's reaction, Hull definitely didn't give her a heads up."

If Hull had let Yvonne know, she wouldn't have stormed off to Black Gate.

And of course, if she went, Xander would follow.

Now the whole Black Gate was a mess-worse than a henhouse at feeding time. Ronald squeezed his eyes shut for a moment.

Idris continued, "Lincoln, the guy who always shadows Mr. Miguel, already went to Black Gate. Looks like he's setting up some big move there."

Not telling Yvonne meant she was a key piece in whatever game he was playing.
