Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath (Stella) novel Chapter 243

Cloudia's breath hitched, a sign of her unease.

Seeing Stella about to leave, Blaise panicked. "Star."

"What are you still standing there for?" Noticing Cloudia frozen in place, Blaise shot her an exasperated look.

That snapped Cloudia out of her daze, and she hurried after Stella.

Stella and Ronald were already at the doorstep.

Cloudia rushed forward, grabbing Stella's other hand. "Star, Mom and Dad want to talk to you."

Stella glanced sideways, a hint of sarcasm in her tone. "Mom and Dad?"

In the chilly air, her words seemed laced with irony.

Cloudia felt a tightness in her chest. Her gaze inadvertently fell on the man beside Stella, sensing the dangerous aura surrounding him.

Holding onto Stella's hand, Cloudia instinctively tightened her grip. "I was wrong. I shouldn’t have treated you that way."

Stella looked at her mockingly and tried to pull her hand away, but Cloudia refused to let go.

Stella raised an eyebrow. "What's this about?"

Cloudia pleaded, "Can we talk, please?"

She was frustrated. She couldn't believe Stella could cause such a stir.

Blaise and Jaxon had said the company's troubles were her doing, but how could she have such influence?

Cloudia suppressed her discomfort. Trying to appear patient, she asked, "Is the company's situation really because of you?"

Even though everyone said so, Cloudia found it hard to believe Stella wielded that much power.

Stella replied, "What do you think?"

Cloudia was at a loss for words.

Stella scoffed, shaking off Cloudia's grip, and glanced at Ronald, who was visibly colder.

Stella announced, "Let's go."

Cloudia instinctively reached for Stella again, but two bodyguards stepped in, holding her back. Her any attempts to approach Stella was now futile.

As Ronald and Stella's figures disappeared into the night, Cloudia’s desperation spilled over. "Star, you can't do this. I know her presence bothers you. We promise, once she's better, we'd send her away."

Her anxious voice echoed into the darkness, swallowed by the cold night air. Stella’s only response was her resolute, silent departure.

Not until Stella and Ronald had completely vanished did Idris and the bodyguards finally released Cloudia and Blaise.

Yorick stood frozen, chilled to the bone. He watched the drama unfold, especially struck by Stella's icy demeanor.

He was completely immobilized now!

The group had gone, leaving Blaise and Cloudia in complete disarray. Especially Blaise, whose usually immaculate hair now seemed disheveled.
