Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath (Stella) novel Chapter 286

"Idris, you..."

Finley was visibly flustered.

But he had to admit that Idris had a point. Considering how hard Yvonne had been looking for Stella these past two years, it wouldn't be a stretch to say she had gone a bit mad in her search.

Finley took a deep breath, trying to calm himself. He turned to Ronald. "Ronald, hear me out. I think there's definitely some misunderstanding here. I'll go and find her right away."

Finley was practically pacing in circles.

That troublemaking tomboy, always causing chaos wherever she went.

As much as he was angry, she was still his sister. What was he supposed to do? Let her cause a disaster in front of Ronald and face the consequences?

He couldn't even begin to imagine the fallout if Stella was truly taken.

As Finley turned, he heard Ronald's cold voice behind him. "Throw her out."

Idris replied, "Understood."

Finley shivered.

"No, let me handle this. You don't need to worry about it."

Ronald remained silent.

"Besides, you know Star doesn't like that violent side of yours. Remember that time she nearly shut down after seeing you in action?"

Finley was unaware that Stella had stumbled upon a similar scene the previous night. At the time, she neither fled nor shut down.

Ronald leaned back in his chair, locking eyes with Finley, sending another shiver down his spine.

Ronald said, "Skye needs to be taught a lesson."

Finley blinked, caught off guard.

A lesson? Ronald's way of teaching someone a lesson was something most people couldn't endure.

Ronald turned to Idris. "Make sure she remembers."

"Yes, sir," Idris nodded.

Finley winced. Make Skye remember? Ronald's idea of that usually involved something severe enough to leave a lasting impression.

Oh dear Lord, how did Skye get mixed up with Yvonne this time?

Finley was pacing furiously. "That little devil. When did she and Yvonne start getting along? Helping Yvonne with something this big?"

What on earth happened between Yvonne and Skye while they were out of town?

...

Stella was back in her room shortly after.

Ronald arrived not long after. When she heard him enter, Stella turned around, her cheeks still flushed.

Apparently, she hadn't fully recovered from whatever Finley had stirred up earlier.

Ronald leaned against the doorframe, arms crossed. "You that scared?"

Stella looked at him with wide eyes, silent.

With a sigh, Ronald approached and pulled her into his arms. "You little thing."

He sat down, pulling her onto his lap.

Their eyes met, and he leaned in, brushing his lips against hers. "No need to hide anymore, okay?"
