Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath (Stella) novel Chapter 224

Orion was back.

"Sir, why are you here?" he asked.

Orion knew trouble was brewing the moment Thane showed up.

Thane had a notorious disdain for Yorick's romantic entanglements, especially when it came to Ursula. His irritation was palpable, considering the critical juncture the Quarry Group was facing at the moment.

Yorick took another drag from his cigarette, inhaling deeply- a clear sign of his growing agitation.

"Did you find anything?" he asked, his voice cold.

Orion hesitated, clearly thrown off by Yorick's continued fixation on romantic issues at such a critical time.

It seemed almost inevitable that the Lugar family had already sealed the deal with Jeremy. Thane's involvement was probably a last-ditch attempt to secure a slice of the pie, though the biggest gains were already lost.

Nodding, Orion replied, "Yes, she was with the man who attacked you."

Yorick fell silent.

Scratching his head, Orion added, "Ms. Quinn seems to be in a relationship with that man."

Yorick's expression hardened at this.

Before Orion could continue, Yorick's phone buzzed with a new message. It was from Ursula, reading simply:

[Rick, I guess I can't recuperate at Wave Residence, right?]

The message only served to darken Yorick's mood further. He remembered the mocking they had subjected Stella to not too long ago, how they claimed she'd be nothing without the Larkin family, doomed to struggle on her own.

How ironic, he thought, considering Stella had been staying at Wave Residence all this while. It made their previous taunts seem utterly foolish.
