Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath (Stella) novel Chapter 835

Finch shot Dan a cold, accusing stare. “You’re the one who took them, aren’t you?”

“Don’t even try to deny it. Lacey—she’s the one you brought back to use against me and Dad. Don’t tell me Susanna and Lacey didn’t disappear with your help.”

Finch was seething, fists clenched, jaw tight.

All these years, his father had never looked at him this way, never doubted him like this.

And now, all this suspicion—thanks to Dan and his games.

Usually, Finch was the reckless, carefree one. But now, when he looked at Dan, there was a dangerous edge in his eyes.

Dan met Finch’s glare and let out a dry laugh. “Me?”

“If not you, then who? You’ve always had your eye on Black Gate. You’ve been itching to grab all the power from Dad for as long as I can remember!”

“And what, you don’t want it?” Dan shot back, his voice laced with sarcasm.

“I’m not as shameless as you,” Finch hissed. “Even if I wanted it, I wouldn’t drag in outsiders.”

“The Quinns, the Schultzes—do you want to see Black Gate burn to the ground? Is that it?”

“You just want to destroy it because Dad’s never going to hand it over to you. If you can’t have it, nobody can. That’s it, isn’t it?”

Finch’s voice kept rising, his anger echoing through the study.

But Dan just looked back at him, calm as ever, a mocking smile tugging at his lips.

The angrier Finch got, the more Dan seemed to enjoy himself.

“Let Susanna and Lacey go,” Finch said, his voice desperate now. “I don’t even want Black Gate anymore, alright? Just let them go!”

He was cracking under the pressure. With everything spiraling out of control, who’d want to inherit this mess? Whoever took over would get torn to shreds by the Quinns, the Schultzes, not to mention Hull…

The prize they’d fought over for years now felt like a poisoned apple.
