Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath

Chapter 814

Derek's face was stormy-like a thundercloud about to burst.

Meanwhile, Dan wore a smug, almost gleeful grin. "Especially, Mr. Miguel."

Derek glared. "What are you getting at?"

"I'm saying, don't try to pin your dirty work on me. Yvonne already turned my place upside down looking for answers, so..."

The instant their eyes met, the air crackled with tension.

Dan chuckled lightly. "So, your mud's not gonna stick to me this time."

Derek's expression darkened. "I didn't take her."

"Tell that to Mr. Miguel. Whether he believes you or not... Well, I don't think you've got what it takes to convince him."
