Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath (Stella) novel Chapter 117

After visiting Old Mrs. Zeller, Stella made her way past Ursula's hospital room, where Yorick was waiting for her at the door.

Spotting her, Yorick frowned and stepped forward to block her path.

Stella raised an eyebrow, "Looking for another beating today?"

Yorick shot back, "What's gotten into you lately?"

His tone was icy, his gaze viciously dark as he glanced at the man following Stella.

Idris exuded an air of distinction. Yorick was convinced he was yet another of Stella's conquests.

Stella snorted, "None of your freaking business."

"If you really cut ties with the Larkin family, who do you think you will be? You believe those men would still want you?"

Yorick's eyes drifted to Idris as he mentioned “those men”.

Idris' aura turned even colder. He took a step forward, "Miss, why don't you wait in the car?"

Yorick was speechless.

Miss?

Stella wasn't in the mood for more nonsense with Yorick. She nodded, glancing at Idris.

"Just be careful."

The Quarry family was a big deal in Portis City after all. With Ronald staying in town for some serious business, upsetting the Quarries could spell trouble for everyone involved.

Idris, knowing Stella was considering Ronald's position, nodded, "Understood."

As Stella passed Yorick, he grabbed her wrist, "Explain yourself."

Before Yorick could ask anything else, he suddenly felt a sense of weightlessness and found his head bumping against the wall with a bang.

Idris couldn't stand the insult to Stella. If Ronald got the words and found out he did nothing, there'd be hell to pay.
