Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath (Stella) novel Chapter 413

Upstairs.

Lola handed the medicine to Jaxon. "Guess it's just me who's still helpful to think of a solution for you. Your mom, huh..."

Her voice dripped with sarcasm.

Jaxon listened, furrowing his brows as he stared into the bowl. "Was that car crash really her doing?"

Her, meaning Ursula.

At that moment, Jaxon's voice was devoid of any discernible emotion.

Lola chuckled darkly. "Even Yorick hasn't bothered to see her. Can't you see the writing on the wall?"

Jaxon felt his breath catch.

Images of Yorick flashed through his mind - storming past his doorstep, emanating a fierce, intimidating energy - a side of Yorick he'd never seen when he was around Ursula.

Something had felt off even back then. And Yorick, who used to visit Ursula almost daily, hadn't shown up in over three days.

Seeing Jaxon remain silent, Lola pressed on, "Jaxon, you're just blind. Now drink up, my kid's future depends on you."

"You using me as a pawn?"

Lola shrugged, "What else? You think I'm into your blindness?"

With a guy this blind, what else could she want if not money? Certainly not love.

Jaxon's breathing was heavy, and he shot Lola a fierce glare.

Lola admired her freshly manicured nails. "You Larkin folks, really, you've got possessed."

"Shut up."

"Shut up? You two all want me to be silent, but how about you guys say something useful for once?”

It was not like they had something under their sleeves. They’d managed to tick off all people of Portis City. Even Stella's fed up with them, her own family.

…

In another room, Ursula saw Cloudia come in, her face swollen and red. She was momentarily taken aback. "Mom, what happened to you?"

Cloudia was trembling.

"Ursula…"

"What did Star say? Is she willing to lend you the money?"

Before Cloudia could finish, Ursula cut her off, her voice tense. She was running out of options.

The cost of the medication was astronomical. With the Larkin family in shambles and the Larkin Group almost bankrupt, Stella was the only one with the resources to help. Stella, the little princess of the Lugar family. She had money to spare.

Ursula was both envious of Stella's charmed life and desperate for her aid.
