Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath (Stella) novel Chapter 234

Questions came at Jeremy like a machine gun.

Jeremy's mood immediately took a nosedive. "Is that what you've been learning from hanging out with Ursula all these years? How to talk trash about others?"

Sirena stammered, "No, I didn't mean..."

"She's Ronald's foster sister."

"What?"

At Jeremy's revelation, Sirena's mouth formed a perfect O of surprise.

But Jeremy was in no mood to elaborate. Ever since Sirena had grown close to Ursula because of Jaxon, every word out of her mouth seemed to give him a headache.

It probably started when she became a regular at the Larkin household, and now it felt as if her tongue had developed a mind of its own.

Jeremy had been in a good mood earlier, but thanks to Sirena, irritation was quickly replacing it.

"Stay locked up!" he snapped.

With her tendency to stir trouble, he was convinced she needed to be kept out of the loop until Mr. Quinn and Stella left Portis City.

Even though the contract had already been signed. If Ronald changed his mind, he couldn’t do anything!

To play it safe, Sirena had to be kept out of the picture.

After ending the call, Jeremy immediately dialed the butler. "If she gets her hands on her phone again, you're fired."

"Yes, sir," came the flustered but respectful reply.

Jeremy hung up and turned to Harper. "Forget about picking out a gift. A girl raised by Mr. Quinn? She's seen it all. If we don’t impress her, it'll just irritate Mr. Quinn."

Better safe than sorry.

Harper nodded. "Okay."

Finally, she let out a relieved sigh.
