Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath (Stella) novel Chapter 194

Leaving Ferrowland behind, she wasn't sure what the road ahead would look like, and she couldn't bear the thought of dragging the little one along on her uncertain journey.

"It's all good," Ronald said, affectionately ruffling her soft hair.

Mist Bay was a picture of tranquility. But elsewhere in Portis City, chaos reigned- especially for Thane.

After much effort, he finally managed to get the contact details of an assistant close to the heir of the Lugar family. Yet, when he made the call, the response left him utterly speechless.

Even for Thane, it took a moment to process.

Imogen was equally baffled. "Did they really say that?"

"Yeah, just dropped the line on me after saying, 'Your son's education comes first!'"

And with that, the call ended.

What did that mean?

Imogen was irritated. "How does Rick fit into all this? What did he do to tick them off?"

They hadn't even met face-to-face. How did it come to 'your son's education'? What did his education have to do with any of this?

Though annoyed, Imogen knew they were in no position to make demands. The other party held exactly what they needed most.

Thane's face hardened. "Call Yorick now. Tell him to get his ass back here."

No wonder he'd been avoiding meeting the heir of the Lugar family. So Yorick had offended them? If that was the case, he was going to have a word with that brat tonight.

"Quick, call the young master," Imogen said.

It was crucial to get Yorick back immediately and sort things out. The other party might sign the contract with their chosen partner tomorrow. If they didn't resolve this tonight, the potential risk to the Quarry Group was undeniable.

Even Imogen, biased towards her son, felt particularly vexed at this moment.

Over at Yorick's end.
