Chapter 871

“Bro, I wasn’t—”
“Beep-beep-“
Before Yvonne could even finish, Ronald had already hung up on her.
Yvonne just stared blankly at her phone, completely thrown.
She glanced over at Xander, who was sitting nearby, smoking.
Xander looked up. “What did he say?”
Yvonne frowned. “He said you’re an idiot, and that hanging out with you is making me stupid too.”
Xander just stared at her, his face darkening even more.
Really, Ronald? After everything he’s pulled, now he’s calling them idiots?
With the way Ronald schemed, even the brightest minds would have a hard time keeping up with him!
Xander looked like he was about to explode.
Yvonne hesitated. “So… it really was my brother who took her?”
Xander shot her a look. “Did he deny it?”
Yvonne shook her head.
Xander shrugged. “There you go.”
If he didn’t even bother to deny it, then who else could have done it?
“But he called us idiots!” Yvonne protested. “Isn’t he mad because we got it wrong?”
Her brain felt like it was about to short-circuit. Everything had been such a mess lately, she could practically feel her mental hard-drive melting.
Xander just shook his head. “She’s definitely with him.”
Yvonne pressed, “How are you so sure?”
She needed something concrete, something to convince herself. After all, if Ronald had really taken someone, wouldn’t he at least tell his own sister?
Xander leaned back, taking another drag of his cigarette. “Because your other sister-Stella? She’s suddenly not worried anymore.”
Yvonne stared. “Wait… she’s not worried?”
A memory flashed through her mind: Stella, telling her not to freak out, promising Susanna would be fine.
That… wasn’t right. When Susanna first went missing, Stella would burst into tears every time she called.
Now, all of a sudden, she was calm? Even comforting Yvonne?
Yvonne blinked, putting the pieces together, then looked at Xander with wide, blinking eyes.
Xander gave her a knowing smile. “Figured it out, huh?”
Yvonne’s mouth twitched. “But… why wouldn’t she tell me?”
Seriously, Stella! Yvonne always spoiled her, and now Stella was treating her like a clueless puppy?
Yvonne just sat there, stunned, feeling the storm brewing inside.
Xander reached out and playfully her cheek, his eyes

He tried to sound light, but there was more than a little frustration in his voice.
Yvonne just gaped. “Played us…?”
Hearing that, she was honestly at a loss for words.

And, to be fair, Black Gate had definitely seen better days after her rampage.
But now she finds out Susanna was never even there?
Fine. Not in Black Gate. Whatever. But how the hell could she have ended up with her own brother?
She’d been so stressed she’d practically made herself sick, and all this time… Susanna was with Ronald?
Yvonne just… shut down.

She was officially losing it.
She’d suspected everyone-Black Gate, Dan, Derek.

Even Adelle, Finch, and those weird twins with the matching bowl cuts…
She’d put every single person at Black Gate under a microscope!
