Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath (Stella) novel Chapter 4

After a chaotic frenzy that could rival a barnyard uproar, it was Orion who finally managed to pry Stella away.

Ursula's face was twisted in pain, tears welling up in her eyes as she glanced at Yorick, "Rick, I…"-

Yorick's face was a shade of thunderous gray!

He barked at Orion, who was holding Stella back, "Just take her away, now."

Stella tried to break free from Orion's grip, but he wasn't about to let her go.

This woman, her strength was unbelievable.

"Ms. Quinn, let's head out," Orion urged.

Stella exclaimed, "Purse, my purse."

She had used her purse to hit Yorick earlier, and now it lay by his feet.

In a fit of rage, Yorick grabbed it and threw it at her.

Orion caught it and quickly stuffed it into Stella's arms, "There, you've got your purse back."

What a mess.

Eventually, Stella was dragged into the car by Orion.

Orion wanted to drive Stella home, but she wouldn't have it, especially not Yorick's man driving her. So, she took the wheel and left.

Yorick, still reeling from the impact, took a while to come back to his senses.

Seeing Ursula's disheveled hair and swollen leg, he grew even angrier at Stella.

He scooped Ursula up, "I'm taking you to the hospital."

Ursula nodded through her tears, looking utterly pitiable.

Orion was tasked with driving, but when he checked where he had parked, the space was empty.

"Ms. Quinn took the car."

In the confusion earlier, Orion planned to drive Stella, but she had taken the car herself.

This only added fuel to Yorick's already blazing temper.

Seeing Yorick's face darken further, Orion said, "I'll go to the garage and get another car."

He had to grab the keys from the office first.

…

Meanwhile, Stella was stopped at a traffic light when her phone vibrated. It was a call from her biological mother, Cloudia Lawson.

"Come home tonight, there’s something I need to talk with you about."

Stella opened a water bottle and took a sip, "Can't do, I'm swamped."
