Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath (Stella) novel Chapter 1141

Hearing those words, Mona and Yale found them more than a little obnoxious.

Yet, there was nothing they could do about Yvonne.

In the car.

Xander pulled her hand into his, his thumb tracing her palm with a tenderness that spoke volumes.

"What are you doing?" she asked.

"I'm just happy," he replied.

"Look at you," she scoffed playfully.

He was thrilled over such a small victory? It really showed how helpless he had been against Mona all those years.

She had only pushed Mona this far, and he was already over the moon.

"What made you decide to expose Berry's secret today?" Xander asked.

Now that Yvonne had laid it all out, Tristan—no matter how oblivious he had been over the years—would definitely launch an investigation into Berry.

Knowing Yvonne's temper, Xander had assumed she would let the woman stew in anxiety for a little while longer.

He hadn't expected her to drop the bombshell so soon.

"You just don't get it, do you?" Yvonne hummed in amusement. "Star is getting married the day after tomorrow. I refuse to give Berry the slightest chance to show up and ruin things."

Even if Berry did manage to sneak into Ferrowland, Yvonne would never let her get close enough to be an eyesore for Star.

Still, it was better to nip any potential threat in the bud.

Her precious Star had suffered enough in Portis City. Now that she was finally marrying Ronald, Yvonne wasn't going to let a single thing go wrong with the wedding.

Realizing this was all for Stella Quinn, Xander's previous joy deflated slightly.

Yvonne noticed his shift in mood. "What's wrong with you?"

"Nothing," Xander muttered.

Yvonne gave him a look.

"You don't treat me half as well as you treat Stella," he grumbled.

He had claimed it was nothing, but a second later, his true feelings spilled right out.

Seeing his utter inability to hide his emotions, Yvonne finally understood why he had been so useless against Mona all those years.

How could a straightforward guy ever win against a manipulative schemer?

Meanwhile, with Susanna Tucker.

She had polished off an entire plate of pineapple the second they boarded the private jet. Yet, barely a moment after she finished eating, she found herself face-to-face with... a doctor?

Yes, a doctor.
