Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath (Stella) novel Chapter 272

"Where you at?"

"Wave Residence. I live here. Did Yorick really drop the ball and not tell you?"

Hearing that Stella was living in Wave Residence took Ursula's breath away. It was like a punch to the gut!

She had been bragging about Yorick buying her a place at Wave Residence to help her recover from her illness, even taunting Stella about it.

But now…

"Did you move there right after leaving Silk-River?"

"Yeah, so don’t forget you owe me one hundred thousand."

In just a few sentences, Stella managed to rub salt in the wound twice.

And that wasn’t the end of it.

She added, "When are you going to pay up? Remember, you have to pay for it!"

"I... I don't have that kind of money," she trembled.

The killer had been bleeding her dry, demanding money left and right. She was at her wit's end.

On the other end, Stella casually enjoyed some oranges. "No money, huh? You weren't saying that when you bet against me."

Ursula fell silent.

She had been so sure of her victory, overestimating Yorick’s capabilities and dreaming of getting a slice of Stella’s earnings from last year. But her plans had backfired spectacularly, leaving her fuming with frustration.

Stella pressed on, "What, planning to bail on the bet?"

When Ronald walked in, he saw Stella lounging on her bed, enjoying a plate of oranges that he had asked to be sent up.

He’d once heard from a doctor that high-vitamin C fruits could aid in recovering from a fever.

Seeing Ronald, Stella was about to hang up. Then Ursula’s plea came through, "Star, I was wrong before, I’m sorry. Please, forgive me."

Stella paused, puzzled by the sudden change of tone.

"Thinking of dodging the debt?"

Ursula could really stoop low to avoid paying, Stella thought.
