Someone from the Schultz family, but with none of the Schultz fire in his veins.
Xander didn’t say a word.
Ronald smirked. “Man, if Yvonne hears about this, everyone’s gonna wish they’d never been born.”
How bad it’d get, well, that was anyone’s guess.
Xander’s eyes went wide. “!!!”
Ronald shrugged. “You included, bud.”
Xander’s face darkened even more.
Ronald went on, grinning, “So, if I were you, I’d keep this little incident far, far away from her for now.”
The words made Ronald crack up, especially seeing Xander looking so thoroughly defeated.
Xander’s face was about as dark as the burnt bottom of a cast iron skillet. “What do you take me for?”
But seeing Ronald’s grin just made Xander’s blood boil.
He decided he was done talking to Ronald—any more of this and he might just lose it for real.

Meanwhile, Dan wasn’t having a good time in the hospital either. He was so pissed off he looked like he might lose his mind.
Scar said to him, “Yesterday, Ms. Quinn got a bit too worked up and accidentally messed up Miss Aira’s leg. Sir, you were way too harsh on Miss Aira yesterday.”
Scar couldn’t help but mention how downcast Aira looked when she left the room.
At this point, everyone around Dan had given up on Yvonne. They thought she wasn’t much of a lady at all. If Dan really ended up with her, her temper would do him no good.
Miss Aira, on the other hand, was sweet and her family was backing Dan’s position at Black Gate all the way.
But just mentioning Yvonne and Aira in the same breath was enough to make Dan so angry he nearly passed out again.
“Get out,” he growled, his voice colder than a Midwestern winter.
Scar wanted to say more but didn’t dare—he just nodded and scurried out.
