Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath (Stella) novel Chapter 104

“You…”

Hearing Stella's words, Yorick was on the verge of exploding.

Ursula cut in, “Easy, Rick. Don't always be so biased against Star. I'll be careful.”

But Yorick, his worry etched deep, especially after Stella's bold declaration, couldn’t be reassured despite Ursula’s repeated promises.

Finally, he left the room. Yet, he couldn’t bring himself to stray far. Lingering just outside the hospital room door, he was ready to burst in at any sign of distress.

Leaving Stella and Ursula alone, the air thick with unspoken tension. Stella wouldn’t even grace Ursula with a glance, her disdain palpable.

Faced with such arrogance, Ursula’s frustration simmered, “Rick promised to buy me the Wave Residence, you know that right?”

“Didn’t we discuss this over the phone? I told you, you won’t get in there.”

“But Rick said today he’s bought it. It’s being processed, and soon, I’ll move in to recuperate.”

Stella raised an eyebrow, “He told you that?”

Bought it? Huh, Yorick was just pacifying Ursula.

Ursula nodded, “Jealous?”

Stella simply rolled her eyes.

“Well, congrats. When are you moving in? Throwing a party? Make sure I'm invited.”

“Oh, you’ll be invited. Wait and see, in less than a month, I’ll be in.”

For years, many elites sought to claim Wave Residence, the piece of prime land.

Those who failed still probed for the mysterious owner behind Wave Residence, hoping to marry off their daughters to him.

As Ursula said the piece, her smug tone deepened further. While Stella’s gaze turned instantly icy.

“And how so?”

“Jaxon, your dear brother, your ex-fiancé, they’ve joined forces, you know that? They’re shutting down your studio.”

This news was expected. Yorick and Jaxon, knowing about her studio, were bound to sabotage it, a possibility Stella had foreseen.

Yet, as Stella heard Ursula add her twisted spin, her gaze grew even colder. “Huh.”

Ursula continued, “Your closest family never accepted you. Yorick never truly cared for you. Stella, you’ve been back in Portis City for so long, yet you have nothing to show for it. Why stay and be despised? Leaving would be better for everyone.”

“You really want me gone?” Stella’s eyebrow lifted, pausing her nail filing to lock eyes with Ursula.

That sudden intense and piercing look made Ursula’s heart lurch instinctively.
