Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath (Stella)
Chapter 118

"Wait, what?" Jaxon blinked in confusion.

That was it? He was just leaving?

The sounds of Ursula's pain echoed from the hospital room, mixed with Cloudia's soothing words.

Wasn't Yorick going to check on her? What did his departure mean?

For a moment, Jaxon couldn't quite grasp the situation.

...

On Stella's end, Idris had driven her straight to the Orient Nexus Building. As Stella got out of the car, Idris told her, "Mr. Quinn's got some business to attend to today, so he can only join you for dinner." "Okay, got it," Stella nodded obediently, then turned and walked away.

Watching her leave, Idris pulled out his phone and called Ronald, "Mr. Quinn."

"Did you visit Old Mrs. Zeller?"

Idris replied, "Yes, but we also ran into folks from the Larkin family and Yorick."

The line went silent for a moment.

Even through the phone, Idris could feel Ronald's icy aura.

"Yorick seems to have a lot of free time, huh?"

"The entire Larkin family seems to have too much time on their hands, always hovering around that woman," Idris answered.

Indeed, too much free time. Aside from hiring a bunch of specialists, they even personally accompanied her.

Yorick, in particular, visited Ursula at the hospital every day.

"What's Star's reaction?"

Ronald's tone turned even colder as he asked this.

Clearly, he wasn't really concerned about whether these people were idle or not. He was more worried about whether their actions were affecting Stella's mood.

Idris replied, "Ms. Quinn hasn't been affected much, she doesn't seem to care about these people."

The tension in Ronald's voice eased noticeably upon hearing this.

Ronald uttered a brief "hmm," a sound that carried a hint of pleasure, which Idris picked up on clearly.

Idris added, "However, Yorick and the Larkins are planning to kidnap Ms. Quinn."

As his voice trailed off, the line turned icy once again.

...

Meanwhile, shortly after Stella arrived at her office, Yorick showed up..

Seeing him, Stella was far from pleased.

"What are you doing here? No heads up, don't you know everyone's time is precious?"

Yorick's already sour expression darkened further upon hearing Stella's words, his anger visibly growing.

"How many people can actually reach you by phone now?"

His words carried a hint of frustration. Apart from him, it seemed like the entire Larkin family and even the Quarry family couldn't get through to her now.

Facing Yorick's fury, Stella had little to say. She took a sip from the water glass in front of her, "If you can't get through, then don't. It's not like we need to be in contact anyway."

"No need to be in contact? Then who do you need to be in contact with? Those men?" Thinking about how she had blocked everyone. What was she relying on? Those men?

The thought of those men made Yorick's expression even darker, "What did that guy at the hospital mean by calling you 'Miss'? He doesn't even know your last name? Youjust met him? What kind of

'Miss' are you? From a nightclub?"

On his way here, Yorick had tried to figure out the situation, coming to only one conclusion.

"Is this studio funded by doing sleazy business?"

Yorick's anger reaching a boiling point. In a rage, he lost all reason.

Faced with groundless accusation, Stella, with the glass of water in hand, threw it directly at Yorick.

The water was somewhat cold. Splashing onto Yorick's face, it was chilling, pulling his rationality back from the flames of anger.
