Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath (Stella) novel Chapter 21

Yorick's irritation was palpable as he took a drag from his cigarette, his attempt to appear nonchalant failing miserably.

"I know you can drive. We need to talk."

Stella responded, "I've got nothing to say to you."

With that, she turned on her heel and made for her car.

But Yorick wasn't having any of it. He strode up swiftly, grabbing the car door before she could slam it shut.

Stella impassively glared at him, "Let go."

Instead, Yorick yanked her out of the car. The difference in their strength was clear, and Stella, unable to match him, glowered.

"You..."

Yorick dragged her towards his own car, snatching her car keys and tossing them to Orion, who caught them neatly and quickly got into Stella’s car, driving it away.

This only fueled Stella's fury, "You..."

Yorick released her then.

Stella growled, "Get Orion back here!"

By then, Yorick had already started his car, looking at her, "You getting in or not?"

In her anger, Stella kicked the car's tire, but eventually, she climbed into the back seat.

"Sit up front!" Yorick demanded.

"Are you going to drive or not?" Stella shot back.

"Stella!" Yorick's tone grew heavier.

"Suit yourself," she retorted. She wasn’t about to play the dutiful passenger, especially not in Yorick’s car.

At the sight of her aggressive attitude, Yorick, feeling his cheeks burn with frustration, had no choice but to drive off, heading towards the Silk-River Residences.

Stella, arms crossed, gazed at the outside, "Take me to Orient Nexus."

Hearing it, Yorick instinctively glanced at her through the rearview mirror, "What business do you have there?"

In another words, for someone like her who depended on the family’s support financially, there was no reason for her to go to somewhere corporate elites would gather. In his eyes, Orient Nexus was no place for Stella.

"You don't need to worry about it," she snapped back.

Yorick felt his blood boiling.

Was this all because Ursula was back? Was that why Stella wouldn't even hold a proper conversation with him?

At the next intersection, Yorick pulled the car over.

Seeing him stop, Stella was confused, "What are you doing?"
