Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath (Stella) novel Chapter 1026

It was clear he had no doubt about what the report would say.

Derek radiated a dark, oppressive energy.

Right now, Adelle’s hatred for Dan was absolute. Finch’s glare could have sliced him to ribbons.

“Just keep your mouth shut!” Finch snarled.

Dan shot back calmly, “Doesn’t matter if I keep quiet—this test result won’t change. Not with fifteen pairs of eyes watching.”

The mention of those “fifteen pairs of eyes” made Adelle and Finch want to tear Dan to shreds. They could hardly believe he’d come up with such an underhanded solution. By insisting on these witnesses, he’d made it impossible for any of the three factions to tamper with the outcome.

He wouldn’t dare suggest it unless he was completely sure of the results…

It could only mean one thing: he was Derek’s son.

And because of that, he was determined to shut every door of escape for them.

The realization made Adelle’s chest constrict until she could barely breathe.

“Why isn’t Susanna handling this?” Adelle suddenly demanded, switching from emotional appeals to Derek to an argument for fairness.

Hearing Susanna’s name made a flicker pass through Derek’s eyes—that same distinctive look that so resembled his own.

His gaze toward Adelle turned even colder, darker, threatening.

He stayed silent. Dan spoke up instead. “Anyone who’s seen Susanna knows she’s a Murray, through and through.”

He glanced at Derek and added, “The resemblance is uncanny. Honestly, out of all of us, Susanna looks the most like someone from the Murray family.”
