Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath (Stella) novel Chapter 186

By “trouble,” Thane meant Ursula.

Over the years, Imogen had seen through the Larkin family's charade crystal clear. The Larkins were no saints. And Ursula, their pride and joy, was a whole other story.

It's just too bad Yorick was blindfolded and brainwashed.

Yorick announced, "I'm off to meet the heir of the Lugar family. Don't worry, the ores we need aren't going anywhere."

"Oh, for that woman, you do seem genuinely concerned."

Now realizing the urgency, Thane could see that Yorick was anxious for Ursula.

The moment Yorick turned, Thane's tone grew colder. "If tomorrow they really do sign a contract with our competitor, as for Ursula..."

Thane paused, letting the unspoken words hang in the air, but they were enough to convey endless danger to Yorick.

He looked back at Thane, "Don't touch her."

Thane flicked ash from his cigarette. "That's up to you."

...

Yorick had no idea how he made it out of the office.

Orion, ever respectful, followed closely behind. As they got into the car, he handed Yorick a jacket.

Yorick’s shirt was still drenched from the cup of water.

"Should we head to the hospital first to take care of that wound on your head?"

His old man had really thrown a punch, as if he wasn't hitting his own son.

Yorick's face was a storm. "Find out where the Lugar family heir is. Now."

Orion hesitated.

The Lugar family heir!

Hearing this, Orion couldn't help but feel a headache coming on. That person was as difficult to deal with as the guy orbiting Stella.

"I got a call earlier," Orion said with a nervous tone.

Yorick raised an eyebrow. "What call?"

Orion replied, "The Lugar family's chosen partner for the deal might be the Patel family."
