Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath (Stella) novel Chapter 103

But when Yorick himself showed up at her door, Stella knew without a doubt that Ursula was still up to her old tricks, cancer or no cancer.

It seemed like fate wasn't done testing her patience just yet. If Ursula wanted to play games... Well, Stella was more than ready to join in on the fun.

"Hold on, I need to make a call."

"Who are you calling?"

"Can't I check in with my darling to let him know where I'm off to?"

Yorick nearly choked on his own indignation, aghast, "You..."

Brushing him off, Stella moved aside to dial Ronald's number.

He picked up promptly.

"Finished with work?" his soothing voice came through.

Stella replied, "I've got to swing by the hospital for a bit, should be back in half an hour. Are you home yet?"

"Not yet."

"Alright, then I'll head over first."

"Off to see the Larkins? You're that bored?"

Stella muttered, "Got to stir the pot a bit before we head back to Ferrowland."

With that, she hung up.

The unfinished business with the Larkin family, especially Ursula, had to be dealt with, preferably before Stella returned to Ferrowland. Ideally, Ursula would succumb to her illnesses, but if not, jail would do just fine.

As she turned to leave, her phone buzzed with a call from Susanna.

Stella answered, "Hey, Susie."

"I've found a piece of jade I like, sending you a picture. Take a look for me?"

"Not right now, send it over and I'll check it out later."
