Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath (Stella)
Chapter 131

No sooner had the words been spoken, Ursula's heart pounded, "I, I've got scammed!"

Cloudia gasped, "What? You..."

Scammed? A profound look crossed Yorick's eyes, his thoughts inscrutable to those around him.

Jaxon, however, harbored no doubts. He chuckled, "Got scammed, huh? No wonder you were arguing with that person, even talking about jail time?"

Ursula's heart raced as she nodded hastily, "Yeah, they took ten thousand dollars from me. I was furious."

Cloudia felt a wave of relief knowing it was just a scam.

"It's just ten thousand, no need to argue over it."

Jaxon tenderly ruffled Ursula's hair, "Right, you were scammed. Next time, just ignore these random calls."

It was clear that both Jaxon and Cloudia believed Ursula's story.

Yorick, on the other hand, remained a mystery.

Feeling uneasy, Ursula turned to him, "Rick, what's wrong?"

His gaze was deep and unsettling. For a moment, Ursula couldn't tell if he believed her or not.

Yorick shook his head, "Nothing, I've got some work to do. I'll head out first. Call me if you need anything." "Okay."

Ursula nodded, not daring to say more, especially not in front of Yorick. Any slip-up now could be disastrous.

...

Outside the hospital room.

Stella heard Yorick preparing to leave and decided not to eavesdrop any longer. She quickly slipped away with Idris in tow. However, upon exiting the room, Yorick still caught sight of her. He quickly caught up to them.

As the three entered the elevator, Yorick's mood darkened seeing Idris by Stella's side.

Switching men like clothes!

This damned woman...

The elevator dinged open, and Stella and Idris stepped out. But a firm grip on her wrist made Stella turn back.

"Let go!"

Yorick questioned, "Are you really cutting ties with the Larkin family?"

He had thought it was all a tantrum, that many of her threats were just talk.

But now, seemed like this was no

mere bluster. She had her lawet flash, the lawyer had arrived ve

deliver documents to Cloudia.

At the sight of Stella, he stepped up respectfully, "Miss."

"Proceed, and make it clean."

This was as direct a response as Yorick could get. With the lawyer present, there was no denying it.

"Why? Because of Ursula?" Yorick's grip tightened.

Stella retorted, "Hasn't today's cold shower woken you up yet?"

Still asking why. Did she owe him any explanation?

Yorick was speechless. Mention of the cold shower darkened his expression further.

This damned woman's temper! How could any man stand her?

Yorick glared furiously at him.

Stella taunted, "What? Looking for a fight?"

Yorick's anger intensified at her tone, but he eventually released Stella's wrist.

She walked away with Idris, leaving

Yorick to watch their departing figures. Her resolve was clear, leaving no room for doubt or return.

Suddenly, it was as if a void had opened up in Yorick's heart!
