Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath (Stella) novel Chapter 136

The butler nodded, "Yes."

It was true, girls did love to look their best, and sometimes, they even took it to extremes.

Yvonne used to be obsessed with looking good, to the point where she once starved herself until she fainted and ended up in the hospital.

After that incident, Ronald especially prohibited them from binge eating.

Sitting across from him, Stella asked innocently, "Are you saying I eat too much now, Ronald?"

Ronald replied, "Yes!"

Stella was speechless. Was he worried they'd go broke from her eating habits?

Well, he was just looking out for her, afraid she'd end up like Yvonne, starving herself into the hospital just for losing weight.

Stella took a sip of her oatmeal, "When did you get back last night?"

"After 2 AM."

"That late? Did you come into my room?"

At her question, Ronald's expression changed, a fleeting look of evasion passing through his eyes.

He flicked a profound glance at her, "Why do you ask?"

"Just wondering," Stella shrugged, dismissing her earlier feeling of being enveloped and hugged by a chilling presence in her sleep as a dream. She intended to struggle, but the entire body seemed to be pinned firmly, making her unable to break free.

It must be a dream then.

After breakfast, Stella left, and Ronald headed to his study for a video conference. By the time he emerged, it was past ten.

Idris approached, "Sir."

"Yes?"

"Mr. Quarry has been trying to meet with you, and so has Mr. Patel."

Both Yorick and Jeremy were eager for a partnership with Ronald, though Jeremy had at least met him once, while the other hadn’t.

Despite their refusal to consider Yorick's proposal, he obviously wasn't giving up.
