Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath (Stella) novel Chapter 162

"What the heck are you even talking about? Can't even handle one chick properly, please, do me a favor and keep my name out of your mouth."

"Hey, what's with the sudden firestorm, buddy?"

They were just fine on the phone moments ago, and now this drama?

Caius, barely keeping his cool, demanded, "Just spill it, did you give the ring to Kellan or not?"

Oh, Kellan again!

Jeremy, already at his wit's end, couldn't bother with Caius' nonsense and hung up.

The mere mention of that ring was driving him nuts.

What a cursed ring, utterly annoying.

But no sooner had Jeremy hung up than Caius was ringing him again, "Tell me honestly, did you or did you not give the ring to Kellan?"

"Go to hell."

Jeremy was livid.

Caius retorted, "Then go ask hell to give it back to you."

Jeremy was left speechless. His head was pounding!

Over at Wave Residence.

After having dinner with Stella, Ronald stepped out, only returning around midnight. Stella, caught up with a design project for StarRiver Corp., had been busy till late as well.

Hearing a car engine outside, Stella, worried Ronald might have been drinking, decided to go down, partly also because she was thirsty for some water.

Sure enough, she heard Idris' voice as she approached the staircase, "You shouldn't even bother with those people, no point in drinking their booze."

Ronald was sitting on the couch at the moment. He took off his glasses, massaging his aching temples without uttering a word.

Idris suggested, "I'll make you some hangover soup."

"Just go."

Ronald's voice was low but carried a hint of intoxication, evident even from a distance; it was clear to Stella that he’d drank a lot.
