Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath (Stella) novel Chapter 188

Yorick massaged the bridge of his nose, wincing as a tension headache took hold. "I know."

Cloudia, her voice tinged with concern, replied, "We should get Ursula discharged. Is everything set up at Wave Residence? If it is, she should go there to recuperate."

Now that the Quarry family had done something like this, it was clear they couldn't stay at the hospital a moment longer.

At the mention of Wave Residence, Yorick's expression turned grim.

He quickly said into the phone, "Still arranging. Tell her to stay calm and not overthink things."

"Still arranging? What do you mean? Isn't everything ready yet?" Cloudia’s tone sharpened, a note of unease creeping in.

Yorick frowned. "That's it for now. I’ve got to go."

Unable to provide a solid answer and pressed by Cloudia's probing, Yorick ended the call hastily.

The car was enveloped in a heavy silence.

After a moment, Yorick spoke in a cold voice, "To Wave Residence."

Orion, who was driving, hesitated.

"But we just got word that the Lugar family heir is fishing near the Butterfly Garden."

It hadn't been easy tracking down his whereabouts. Shouldn't they head to the Butterfly Garden first?

Yorick insisted, "To Wave Residence!"

His words carried an unmistakable weight.

Understanding the gravity of the situation, Orion nodded. "Alright."

Approaching a crossroads, Orion didn't dare go against Yorick's wishes and swiftly turned the car around.

However, he couldn't help but remind Yorick, "Tomorrow, they're going over the contract with Jeremy. If everything checks out, they'll sign it on the spot."

If Jeremy secured those mining rights, it would be impossible for Yorick to get a piece of the action, especially since Jeremy and Yorick were known rivals.

Yorick remained silent.

Clearly, news of Thane stationing bodyguards outside Ursula's hospital room had rattled him.

His phone buzzed again. This time, it was Ursula calling.
