Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath (Stella) novel Chapter 725

“So what about Derek? Whose side is he on?”

God, what a mess. “Wait, my mom—she was found by the current leader?”

Hull nodded. “Yeah.”

So this was even more complicated than Susanna had thought.

Her mind was spinning in circles. She didn’t know much about the Black Gate, honestly. It was all tangled up, a real trainwreck, but right now she only had one thought:

She needed to help her mom. The idea that those people were pushing her mom around… It made Susanna’s chest ache.

“What’s the name of the current Black Gate leader again?” she asked.

Things had been so hectic lately, she couldn’t keep track of what Hull had told her about the new boss. All she really knew was that the current leader was bad news for her mom.

At her question, Hull gave her a strange, almost amused look.

“There’s a story there, actually.”

Susanna’s eyes widened. “A story?”

Hull shrugged. “Nobody’s really known who’s been running things these past few years. But I’ve picked up some clues—seems like it’s Dan.”

Black Gate was getting bigger and more dangerous by the day. They had to be careful.

“But then again… maybe not,” Hull said, frowning. “None of the old bosses ever hid their faces like this. Makes you wonder what’s really going on.”

Susanna frowned. “So are you saying the new boss is just a puppet?”

Hull shook his head. “No way. Your dad, Derek, doesn’t have it in him to control a puppet like that.”

Whoever was in charge now, everyone had seen what they could do.

As soon as Derek’s name came up, Susanna’s face darkened. “He’s not my father.”

Father? She’d never call that man her dad.

Hull saw her expression shift and let out a quiet laugh. He reached out and felt her forehead. “Still a bit warm. Let’s get you home.”

The wind outside was biting. She really didn’t need to be out in it.
