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.
