Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath (Stella) novel Chapter 323

Finley was out of breath.

Even though he leaned heavily on the bodyguard, the whole experience was anything but pleasant. Especially since Ronald's men were pretty skilled at what they did. While they were technically holding him up, Finley still had to put in some effort to keep his feet moving.

As soon as he saw Stella approaching, Finley shouted, “Star, you gotta talk some sense into him! Your brother’s got a vendetta or something!”

Stella just shrugged and said, “He says it’s for your own good.”

Hearing that, Finley was on the verge of panic.

“I don’t need him deciding what’s good for me!”

Seriously, if anyone wanted this kind of help, they could have it. He sure didn’t.

Ronald, with a firm grip, took Stella by the waist. “Why aren’t you wearing something warmer?”

The weather had been freezing lately. Snow hadn't stopped falling for days.

Stella replied, “I’ve been indoors all day. It’s fine.”

She hadn’t stepped outside, and Ronald wasn’t about to let her, either.

Meanwhile, Finley was still running and still shouting.

Stella glanced at Ronald with concern. “Why’s he running, really?”

“For his own good,” Ronald repeated.

Stella blinked, unconvinced. She wasn’t buying that explanation.

At that moment, her phone rang. It was Susanna calling.

Stella gave Ronald a look. “It’s Susie. I’ll take this call.”

“Alright,” Ronald replied, releasing his hold on her waist.

Stella stepped away with her phone. As she did, Finley’s desperate voice grew louder.

“Star, you can’t just leave me hanging!”

“Don’t worry, Ronald won’t let you die.”

Hopefully, after today, Finley would think twice before running his mouth again.

Stella walked off with the phone.

Ronald took the cigar Idris handed him and added casually, “Five more laps for him.”
