Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath (Stella) novel Chapter 232

Orion was still trying to piece together the puzzle of Stella and Ronald's relationship.

But for the past while, Stella had been staying at Wave Residence, and so had Ronald. From this fact alone, it was clear their connection ran deep.

Under Stella's influence, the partnership between the Quarry family and the Lugar family had completely fallen through.

Yorick, struggling to keep his rage in check, spoke with forced respect, "Mr. Quinn, could we possibly meet to discuss this?"

His father had stormed out earlier that day, but Yorick knew he had to see Ronald.

If the Quarry Group didn't handle this situation well, they could end up in hot water, just like the Larkin family.

But all Yorick heard in response was the 'beep beep' of a disconnected call.

Ronald had hung up on him.

Yorick clenched his jaw tight.

Orion, stiff as a board, asked, "What did Mr. Quinn say?"

If Ronald was the one who answered, then Stella must be with him.

Yorick, barely containing his frustration, closed his eyes for a moment.

What did he say? Nothing. He just hung up the phone.

Annoyance flaring up, Yorick tried calling Stella again, only to find himself blocked.

And this number belonged to a server at Spring Hill!

Furious, Yorick kicked the edge of a nearby planter. "Damn it!"

The hanging up, the blocking — it was as if these two were in perfect sync.

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became.

Seeing Yorick's grim mood, Orion knew Ronald must have refused the meeting.

Yorick massaged his throbbing temples and said, "Figure out their relationship, now."

Thinking back to Max's parting words about 'protective,' Yorick's eyes grew colder.

What kind of relationship made Ronald so protective over Stella?
