Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath (Stella) novel Chapter 152

"Sign it."

Cloudia was speechless.

In this moment, Stella's demeanor was clear-cut and decisive. It seemed like she had no attachment left for the entire Larkin family. This only infuriated Cloudia more, her chest heaving vehemently!

Cutting ties, huh? Fine, so be it. Then we'll see who's left picking up the pieces when regret kicks in.

Blinded by her anger, Cloudia completely overlooked the absolute control that underpinned Stella's actions.

Finally, with a grit of her teeth, she picked up the pen and signed the disownment agreement.

The moment the last stroke was made, Stella immediately took the document, as if afraid Cloudia might change her mind.

Cloudia's blood boiled at the sight, but she managed to hold back her fury. Barely containing her anger, she asked with as much patience as she could muster, "When will they be back?"

She had gotten her signature, Cloudia thought, everything should be coming to an end now.

However, Stella locked the document in a safe, and then turned to her with an expression of feigned ignorance, "Who? What are you talking about?"

Cloudia couldn’t speak, feeling her heart sink.

She asked about “who”? What did she mean by that?

"You, you..."

Cloudia was choking up; she started at Stella, hardly believing the conclusion she was coming to. Yet Stella looked back at her blankly, as if genuinely clueless about whom she was referring to.

Cloudia felt utterly deceived.

"Finley and Tegan, you promised me," Cloudia stammered out.

Stella had said, clear as day, that once the agreement was signed, Finley and Tegan would be allowed to return.

Stella secured the agreement, "If you can persuade them yourself, be my guest. I won't stop you. If you can bring them back, that's on you.

As for asking me to help you? Ursula wants to take my life. Do I look like a fool, rushing to save her?"

Ursula had been flaunting her power these last few days. Demanding one thing while stepping on her the next? Well, if she enjoyed stepping on people so much, she could just save herself. Why beg anyone for help?

Cloudia trembled, "You, you, you lied to me. How could you..."

Her voice broke, unable to form another word. She couldn’t believe that Stella had actually deceived her.

"How can you be so malicious? That’s a human life we’re talking about! Do you understand how desperately Ursula needs Finley and Tegan's help right now?"

Cloudia was beside herself with grief.

Stella replied, "And what's that got to do with me? If she dies, she dies. People die every day around the world; am I supposed to cry for each one?"
