Chapter 806

[ 575 words ]

When those three years came up, Adelle’s eyes darted away, guilt flickering across her face.

Her expression stiffened. “He was just a kid back then. It’s only natural he doesn’t remember how good I was to him.”

Yeah, she thought, he was so little, there’s no way he’d remember much from back then…

That thought gave her a tiny bit of comfort, and her face relaxed a fraction.

“Right now, what really matters is figuring out where Susanna is,” she said, her voice tense. “If Mr. Miguel comes looking for her, he won’t care if she’s with us or if Dan’s got her.”

As long as she’s with someone from the Murray family, Black Gate… well, that’s a whole heap of trouble.

Speaking of which…

Derek’s anger only grew. “That damn son of mine!”

“I’ll call Finch and tell him to get back here,” Adelle muttered.

Derek just grumbled, even more irritated. Dan was brutal and rebellious, but honestly, Finch was just as much of a headache. Handing Black Gate over to him didn’t seem like such a great option either.

Yvonne and Xander had just heard that Hull was on his way to Litamark.

Great, just great…

Now they were convinced Susanna had been taken by someone from Black Gate, so they jumped in their car and headed straight for Blacktower.

They’d already tried getting Susanna back from Dan with no luck, so now they were ready to tear through the whole Murray family if that’s what it took.

“What did I do in a past life to deserve running into that bastard Dan?” Yvonne fumed.

Xander tried to calm her down. “Well, at least we already trashed his hideout.”

“That’s nowhere near enough,” Yvonne snapped, still fuming.

Just thinking about Dan drugging her made her blood boil.

“Let’s just focus on finding Susanna first,” Xander said, trying to be the voice of reason. “Hull’s already in Litamark, and we all know how much Susanna means to him.”

Truth be told, Xander was a little worried Hull might come after Yvonne too.

Everyone knew why Ronald had always given Hull the best resources all those years. Hull was the kind of guy that, if he decided you were his enemy, you were in for a world of pain.

“Yeah, I know,” Yvonne sighed, rubbing her temples.

Just then, her phone buzzed. She glanced at the screen-Stella was calling.

Yvonne quickly answered, trying to sound upbeat. “Hey, honey! Don’t worry, I’ll bring Susanna back to you safe and sound. I promise.”

She was in way over her head, but she’d stil give Stella her word. Triplets after all this was no small matter! If something happened to one of them, Ronald and her mom would skin her alive. FindNovels

“Yvonne…” came Stella’s voice, shaky and full of tears.

A jolt of panic shot through Yvonne. “What’s wrong? Are you okay?”

That tone—like she was about to start sobbing-what the hell had happened? No

one had given Stella a hard time lately, unless…

Was she crying over Susanna?

Yvonne started to stammer. “Come

on, it’s not that bad. We’ve been

through worse, right? And I’ve already warned the Murray family-no one’s gonna lay a finger on Susie, trust me.” FindNovels

She would’ve cut her own heart out to reassure Stella right then.

But Stella burst into tears anyway.

Yvonne stared at her phone in shock.

Wait-what? Was it really that bad?

Stella sniffled, “No, it’s not about Susie.”

Yvonne blinked. “What?”

If it wasn’t about Susie, then what could possibly have happened to make Stella cry like this? “Then what is it? Tell me who’s made youupset, and I’ll make sure they regret it.” FindNovels
