Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath (Stella) novel Chapter 151

At the auction that day, Cloudia made a point of showing up in person, bringing Ursula along for the ride.

When the massive canary diamond was unveiled, Ursula couldn't hide her covetous gaze.

But this was about a piece valued at over ten million dollars here, not something the Larkins could just snap up with a wave of their hand.

And to think, the very same diamond ended up fashioned into a necklace, now adorning Stella's neck? Who exactly snagged that diamond, and what was their connection to Stella?

Stella replied, "Aurora!"

Cloudia’s breath caught in her throat. She questioned, "Who gave this to you? What's your relationship with them?"

"Is that any of your business?" Stella shot back with a biting retort.

"You..."

Cloudia felt her breath sink even heavier. She wanted to lash out, but remembering her purpose for coming, swallowed down her harsh words.

Lately, Stella had been nothing but cold towards their relation. But no matter what, Cloudia was her mother. This repeated disdain was too much to bear.

"Just say what you came to say," Stella's voice was icy.

Feeling unsettled once more, Cloudia took a deep breath, "Tegan and Finley need to return, no more delays."

The insistence from the medical team on these two being crucial was a clear sign to Cloudia. To save Ursula, they were indispensable.

Stella let out a scoff.

"You've been dodging my lawyer for days, I almost thought you'd given up on Ursula."

Cloudia remained silent. Her already pale complexion turned ashen at the mention of the lawyer.
