Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath (Stella)
Chapter 128

As Stella finished her piece, she hung up abruptly, her sense of threat in her voice unmistakable, leaving Cloudia dizzy with frustration.

Seeing Yorick only made her feel worse.

Yorick approached, "Was that Stella on the phone?"

Cloudia nodded, "Yeah, she wants to cut ties, mentioned that document needs Blaise's signature later. What's she playing at? Why must she escalate things this far?"

Cloudia was hugely disappointed in Stella. In her eyes, they were already suffering enough. Why couldn't Stella just behave? Or was it because of that studio making seven hundred thousand a year?

If that was what Stella was thinking, then she was truly short-sighted. Business was all about luck; just because she made that sum of money last year didn't guarantee anything this year.

Cloudia was curious to see how long Stella could keep this up.

"Let her be," Cloudia didn't want to discuss Stella any further.

Let the ties be cut if that was what she wanted.

But thinking about the results she got from contacting Finley's and Tegan's assistants made Cloudia's mood even worse.

Jaxon joined them, noticing both Cloudia and Yorick's serious expression, "What happened now?"

Cloudia sighed, "What else? Stella called to say she wants to cut ties and demanded my signature on a document."

It had been two years since she called of her own accord, and now, it was to sever ties.

Jaxon's face darkened, "She's taken it that far?"

They had thought Stella was just venting and would calm down eventually. Now it seemed she had no intention of letting it go. Cloudia sighed again, glancing at Yorick and Jaxon, "How's her studio doing? When can we shut it down?"

Yorick and Jaxon went silent.

It was clear they had

underestimated her. She not only managed to get the studio up and running but was also capable of keeping it afloat.

Considering the responses from Stella's partners, Jaxon and Yorick looked even more troubled.

"The studio can't be shut down. All her partners are siding with her."

Cloudia exclaimed, "What?"

"Let's drop it anyway. No point in dwelling on her studio anymore." Jaxon felt disgruntled discussing the matter. Through this ordeal with Stella's studio, they realized how many people in Portis City no longer respected the Larkin family.

Not just the Larkin family, but the Quarry family as well!

This time, Yorick had tried using the Quarry Group's influence to severall of Stella's business partnerships, but until now, not a single company consented.

"Alright, let's go see Ursula," Jaxon suggested, wanting to move on from the topic and headed for Ursula's hospital room.

Yorick glanced at Cloudia, hesitated, but eventually followed Jaxon without a word.

Cloudia, frustrated, stomped her foot and followed them.

In the hospital room, Ursula was still on the phone.

As Jaxon opened the door, they heard Ursula yelling into the phone, "Fine, then we'll all go to jail together."

Jaxon was stunned. Yorick and Cloudia, following behind, also heard Ursula's furious outburst.
