Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath (Stella) novel Chapter 375

At the Larkin household, things were getting out of hand. Cloudia had asked Lola to return a necklace to Ursula, and Lola had thrown a fit over it, almost tearing the home apart.

Ursula was practically begging for forgiveness. "I'm sorry. It's my fault, all my fault."

Lola sneered. "And what exactly are you sorry for?"

"It's my fault for accusing you. Mom, I wronged her, it was all my fault."

Cloudia wasn't buying it. She looked at Ursula with sympathy, assuming she was conceding just to keep the peace.

"Lola, you're absolutely…"

Lola cut her off, "Absolutely what? Didn't you hear her admit she falsely accused me? Even after Ursula's confession, you still insist that I was overreacting? Isn't this exactly how you drove your own daughter away before?"

Cloudia was taken aback. "You…"

"Oh, I see how it is,” Lola continued, voice dripping with sarcasm. “When your adopted daughter tells the truth, you think she’s lying. And when she lies, you believe her."

Now it was all clear to Lola. Ursula had confessed, yet Cloudia refused to accept it.

Cloudia's chest rose and fell sharply, her glare burning into Lola. Words failed her—she simply couldn't stand the sight of her at that moment.

"Get out,” she finally spat. “Get out of our house."

Lola chuckled. "Get out? Only the man of the house can say that. If you want Dad to throw me out himself, fine. One word from him, and I'll leave with my boy immediately."

Cloudia fell silent.

Ursula, too, had nothing to say.

Mentioning Blaise only made things worse. It was like twisting a knife in Cloudia's chest.
