Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath (Stella) novel Chapter 384

"What happens after I do that?" Tegan was curious about how Stella planned to deal with Ursula.

Stella said, "Well, of course, we hammer out some terms."

Tegan was surprised. Terms?

"Asking for money?"

Stella uttered, "Come on, you’re not running a charity here. You make demands, and you make them sky-high."

"But the Larkin family doesn’t have that kind of money right now, do they?"

Tegan’d heard about the mess the Larkin family was in. It was all a big jumble of chaos. In a word, no one living in the Larkin family mansion could cough up half a million just like that.

Stella said, "I know."

"Huh? Then why..."

"Precisely because they’re broke, you push them to make outrageous offers."

Realization dawned on Tegan.

Oh... So that was it. Pushing them over the edge, huh? To give them a glimmer of hope, only to shove them into the abyss.

"Did you pick up this trick from Susie? Only Susanna would delight in such mischief.”

Not only would she enjoy the spectacle, but she could also come up with all sorts of devilish schemes.

Stella uttered, "Just go on, do your thing."

"Alright, I’ll go. I’ll go full throttle at every turn."

Tegan hung up the phone.

As for Ursula, never mind her feud with Stella - it wasn't like she and Tegan were on good terms either.

Back when Ursula wasn't sure about Yorick's feelings, she cast a wide net. And when someone like her casts a wide net, she doesn’t waste it on the unworthy.

Naturally, Uriah Horner was caught in that net too, leading to a grudge with Tegan.

There were so many debutantes in Portis City who’d love to crush her, but thanks to the Larkin family’s protection, no one could touch her.
