Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath (Stella)

Even though Yvonne was incredibly agile and fit, at that moment, being pinned down by Dan's weight, she couldn't muster the strength to break free.

"Mr. Murray," the middle-aged man in charge stepped forward nervously, his gaze initially filled with malice as he looked at Yvonne. However, upon recognizing her face, his breath caught in his throat, and his heart practically leaped into his mouth.

No way, could it really be the infamous black sheep of the Quinn family?

Of all the people Mr. Murray could pick a fight with, he had to choose this one!

Yvonne was a name that everyone knew. For the past two years, she had been on a mission, constantly claiming that her sister was missing and warning people not to bully her.

Who would dare mess with the Quinn family's adopted daughter? She was treasured like a rare gem by the entire family.

Many had been warned by her, and quite a few had even fallen victim to her wrath. Especially the Doyne family's gemstone mine-she nearly cleaned them out!

Because of that incident, everyone knew that the second Miss from the Quinn family was a force to be reckoned with.

The middle-aged man had initially intended to order his men to deal with Yvonne, but now he couldn't muster the courage. Not at all.

"Um, Mr. Murray..." he stammered, caught between a rock and a hard place.

One was the investor he desperately needed, and the other was the terrifying Miss Quinn. What on earth was he supposed to do?

His face turned a myriad of colors as he deliberated.

Dan glared down at Yvonne, growling, "Everyone out."

The man seized the opportunity like it was a lifeline, exhaling a sigh of relief. He quickly ordered, "Move, move, everyone out."

Good grief! What a situation! How did Mr. Murray get tangled up with this hellraiser from the Quinn family?

It was truly bizarre that this notorious woman had come looking for a man, and in such a unique manner.

The room emptied out, with the last person even thoughtfully closing the door behind them.

Now it was just Yvonne and Dan. Yvonne glared at him, her teeth clenched, "Get off me."

Dan gripped her wrists tighter, his warm breath brushing against her cheek. He had a face that seemed kind and gentle, but those eyes-those eyes that once looked at her with such warmth-now flickered with cold, dangerous light.

Of course, with someone of his standing, that kindness was only skin-deep.

Dan narrowed his eyes. "Does the Quinn family think I wouldn't dare kill you?" Yvonne was furious. Already in a rage, Dan's words only added fuel to the fire. "You framed me, and now you want to kill me too?"

The nerve of this guy was astonishing.

Yvonne snapped. She slammed her head back against the sofa, then used all her strength to launch herself forward. With a loud 'thud,' Dan let out a pained grunt as his grip on her loosened.

Yvonne's head throbbed painfully from the impact, and Dan, caught off guard, nearly had his brains scrambled.

"You... you witch..." Dan began, but Yvonne was already upon him, her fury relentless.

His voice, so smooth and calculating over the phone, had hinted at his deception. Amnesia, my foot. Yvonne wasn't buying it!

She was convinced Dan had approached her with a hidden

agenda all those years ago, gat

he wanted, and faked his death for a clean getaway?

Yvonne had no patience for men like him, and she wasn't pulling any punches

now.

"Where is Xander's stuff, you bastard?" she demanded, barreling into him once

more.

Dan dodged her assault, his eyes now brimming with danger.

Seeing that look only stoked Yvonne's anger. "Oh, so you steal from me and still dare to glare?"

With that, she lunged at him again, the two of them becoming a tangle of limbs and fury.

Outside, the people who had hosted

Dan that evening hadn't quite leftnoveldrama

yet. A few of them pressed their ears

against the door, listening to the chaos inside.

The repeated sounds of thudding and crashing were enough to make anyone's heart race.

"Mr. Landseer, didn't you check if Mr. Murray had any beef with the Lugar family?" one of them whispered urgently.

Landseer, the one who had invited Dan tonight, was trying to leverage the opportunity since Ronald's connections offered no advantage.

Little did he know...
