Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath (Stella)

However, these two...

Yvonne rolled her eyes. "Alright, the world's a big place, plenty of people around. Let's hurry up, I need to get home to my sister."

Star had just come back, and she wanted to spend more time with her.

The clerk was taken aback, "Wait, you're leaving because you need to find your sister? Is that really your excuse for being 'busy'?"

The mere mention of 'sister' made Xander's face turn a shade of green with frustration. He shot Yvonne a sharp glare.

The clerk tried to reason with her, "Listen, girl, I think you should calm down a bit. There's a big power imbalance between men and women, and once you're married, fights are a whole different ball game. You might not realize, but no department wants to handle those issues."

He was hinting that Xander might have a tendency for domestic violence.

Xander wasn't stupid, he caught on right away. He turned to the clerk with an intense look, "Do I look like some kind of abusive jerk to you?"

Clerk: "If I may be so bold: you do."

"Hey, you—" Xander's temper flared, and he stood up with a commanding presence.

Kyle, sensing the tension, quickly stepped in. "Mr. Schultz, let's focus on the wedding first."

The clerk wasn't pleased with Xander's demeanor and noticed security approaching from a distance. He threw his pen down in frustration. "Girl, just tell me, are you being forced into this marriage? I swear, if a woman doesn't want it, no man can make it happen."

"Just say the word, and I promise this wedding won't happen today." Xander: ".

Yvonne: ".

"......

"

Both looked at the clerk with admiration-someone who wasn't intimidated by Xander was a rare find.

Xander was seething.

The clerk turned to him, "Don't try to scare me. I've seen plenty of abusive men like you. There are countless single men in your situation who aren't fit for marriage."

Xander: "You say.what?"

"Enough already, we're here willingly. This is such a hassle." Kyle quickly handed over Xander's documents while signaling to Yvonne.

See? He always said the Quinn family had a knack for attracting trouble.

If Stella was a handful, Yvonne was even more so. Stella was practically raised in this environment.

The clerk didn't reach for the documents, just eyed Xander.

Yvonne sighed and finally opened her bag to get her documents. "Thanks for your help."

But just as she was about to hand over the documents, a hand reached from behind and snatched them away.

Yvonne: "..." Who was that?

She turned around to face a stranger's stern face. She didn't recognize the man, but he was flanked by two tough-looking guys.

Yvonne's mind went blank... What was happening?

Xander's eyes narrowed, his hand instinctively reaching for his waist. Kyle quickly stopped him, "Mr. Schultz."

This wasn't the place for a scene.

Kyle was unsure of the situation but was genuinely worried Xander might act rashly.

Having been chased around the world by Ronald, Xander was full of pent-up frustration. Who were these people to provoke a lion nursing a grudge?

Joey glanced at the man holding her documents. "Who are you?"noveldrama

She instinctively reached out to grab them back.

But the man simply flipped his wrist, keeping the documents out of her reach.

Yvonne: "Hey, who do you think you are?"

"Ms. Quinn, you roughed up our boss. You owe us an explanation," the man said calmly, though his words were laced with menace.

Yvonne: "!!!"

An explanation? What explanation? What on earth was going on?
