Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath (Stella) novel Chapter 23

Yorick was fuming as he drove off.

Stella glanced across the street at the upscale boutique mall, pulled out her smartphone, and dialed Tabitha’s number, "Postpone the meeting to two hours."

"Got it, boss."

After hanging up the phone, Stella dove into the mall, embarking on a shopping spree for two hours. Name a high-end brand, and she was throwing her credit card at it, splurging on anything and everything expensive.

Meanwhile, Yorick had just arrived at the hospital.

His phone buzzed incessantly in his pocket, each vibration a reminder of another extravagant purchase Stella was making. Glancing at the screen, the amounts made his eyes widen - each transaction was in the tens of thousands.

He couldn't help but let out a sarcastic chuckle, "And she says she doesn’t care, huh!"

Upon getting the card, she commenced in splurging on various stuff, mostly jewelry and cosmetics.

"Typical," he thought, "Now that the Larkin family has cut her off, she's panicking."

Orion approached him, "Sir."

"Did you drive her car back for her?" Yorick asked.

"Yes," Orion nodded.

As Yorick made his way to Ursula's ward, something crossed his mind, and he instructed, "She's been job hunting recently. Make sure to let all the corporations know she's not to be employed."

Orion paused, slightly taken aback. He said not to employ Ms. Quinn?

"Is Ms. Quinn still refusing to continue with the wedding?"

That word “refusing” darkened Yorick's mood further. Despite his reluctance to admit it, Stella had indeed initiated the cancellation of their wedding through Susanna yesterday, leaving Yorick on the receiving end of a break-up.

Thinking of her defiance only intensified the ache in his jaw.

"She'll come around," he muttered callously.

A week was all it would take for Stella to see the harsh reality. Without the Larkin family and Yorick's influence, she wouldn't last a day in Portis City.
