Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath (Stella) novel Chapter 271

That was true.

Stella pondered for a moment. "What about going abroad?"

"That's the only option. Otherwise, she won't last long here in Portis City, not with her condition. You didn't see her when she was discharged, still in a wheelchair, all weak and frail. And yet, she's still trying to compete with you. How do you think she's going to handle Yorick? She doesn't even have the strength."

Stella raised an eyebrow. "Was that a dirty joke?"

"Girl, please. As if you've never heard of such things." Susanna snorted, "What? Can't handle a bit of adult talk? Never been laid, but surely you've heard of the birds and the bees, right? No experience."

Stella was at a loss for words.

Indeed, she couldn't argue with that. Especially not after last night. Now, she was officially a woman through and through.

"Let me tell you, the Larkin family will be all over you now, annoying you to no end."

After all, whether it was the Larkin Group's business or Ursula's treatment, it all tied back to Stella.

Stella huffed, "They won't be able to find me."

Her tone was crisp and merciless.

Susanna admired her. "I love your attitude. Why should anyone volunteer to be a guinea pig, right?"

Susanna knew all too well how the Larkin family had treated Stella over the years, and it infuriated her.

But thankfully, Stella wasn't one to be easily pushed around. Back then, they looked down on her, and now they were practically begging for mercy.

With Stella's fiery temper, however, there was no point in engaging. Push her too far, and you might just end up with a black eye.

…

Just as Susanna predicted, the Larkin family was frantically trying to locate Stella, but to no avail.

Yorick's attempt to secure Wave Residence had fallen through. Ursula, forcefully discharged from the hospital, was taken back to the Larkin estate by Cloudia.

Without proper medical care, Ursula's condition was deteriorating rapidly.

"Mom, is all this Star's doing? Did she get her brother to do this to me?"

Ursula, fighting through the pain, her forehead beaded with sweat, looked desperate.

Seeing her daughter in such a state broke Cloudia's heart.
