Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath (Stella) novel Chapter 713

Scar heard a loud thud from the hospital room and immediately rushed to the window to check.

Through the glass, he saw Dan sprawled out on the floor, out cold.

Panicking, Scar shouted, “Doctor! Somebody, help! Our boss just fainted again!”

It was the fourth time since yesterday.

First, Yvonne knocked him out cold, and then she pissed him off so badly he blacked out three more times!

Honestly, Yvonne was a real piece of work…

...

After leaving the Quinn family’s mansion, Xander leaned against his car, smoked two cigarettes back-to-back, and then pulled out his phone to call Yvonne.

She picked up after just two rings.

Before Xander could get a word in, Yvonne launched into a full-on rant. “What the hell do you want? Dan, I’m warning you, don’t you dare drag Xander into your mess.”

“I grew up with him—we’re practically childhood sweethearts. He’s nothing like you, you shameless jerk!”

The more she spoke, the angrier she got, firing off a string of curses into the phone.

Xander winced when she called Dan a “shameless jerk,” his temple throbbing with frustration.

Yvonne wasn’t done. “You can’t even own up to your own mess, so you run away? What kind of man are you?”

“And dragging Xander into it as your scapegoat? What, you want us to fight until we divorce? Well, guess what, I’m not letting that happen.”

“I’m sticking with him for life. I’d rather die than get a divorce!”

Xander: “!!!”

Yvonne didn’t let him get a word in, rambling on, “I know Xander better than anyone. It’s not like we’re into each other, but even if I stood butt-naked in front of him, he wouldn’t dare touch me. So don’t even try to stir up trouble between us. Pfft…”

Her tirade was relentless—full of digs at Dan for being a meddling gossip, and at Xander for supposedly lacking any manly courage.

But when Xander heard her say, “He wouldn’t dare,” it really got under his skin.

Finally, just as Yvonne geared up to lay into Dan again, Xander cut in sharply.
