Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath (Stella) novel Chapter 414

Yorick snapped, "Don't come to me about her anymore."

"What?"

Before Cloudia could respond, Yorick hung up.

Hearing the dial tone, Cloudia instinctively gripped her phone tighter. Her eyes narrowed as she looked over at Ursula.

Ursula's breath hitched, and her face turned pale after hearing Yorick's words.

Almost breathless with disbelief, Cloudia demanded, "What's going on between you and Rick?"

"What happened that day?" Cloudia practically shouted, her voice echoing with anger.

Tears welled up in Ursula's eyes, spilling over. "Mom, I... I..."

"You, you... What am I supposed to say to you? Tell me the truth, what happened?"

With Yorick backing out, Cloudia felt a wave of panic.

Good heavens, the Larkin family had already gone through so much recently. Was the last lifeline with Yorick now cut too?

Why was Yorick treating Ursula like that? Could Stella's accident really be connected to her? Cloudia's thoughts spiraled, the confirmation she dreaded seeming all too likely now.

With a tight-lipped expression, she looked sternly at Ursula.

Meeting her gaze, Ursula shook her head, tears streaming down. "Mom, I, I..."

Cloudia's chest heaved with emotion. "Was it you who caused Star's accident?"

"It wasn't me. It wasn't! You have to believe me. I'm not that kind of person."

"Then why has Yorick turned his back on you?" Cloudia couldn't hold back her frustration any longer.

At a time when they desperately needed help, every avenue seemed blocked. Even Yorick, who had always been there for Ursula, was pulling away. How could anyone believe nothing had happened?

Outside the room, Lola stood with her arms crossed, smirking at the scene inside.

"Can't you see? He must have overheard her plotting against his ex-fiancée. That wicked attitude of hers, only the Larkin family would be blind to it.

No matter how much he loves her, no man would want to marry someone so scheming and spiteful, especially when his ex-fiancée is involved." Lola chuckled.

Ursula snapped, "You…"

This wretched woman, stirring trouble when things were bad enough already?

"Mom." Ursula anxiously turned to Cloudia.

Cloudia's breathing was uneven, her gaze sharp as she looked at Ursula. "Is what she's saying true?"

Ursula paled. "Mom."

"Is it true?" Cloudia shouted, trembling with anger. Her face turned ashen, her breath coming in short, panicked bursts.

She didn't want to believe Lola, but with Yorick distancing himself so obviously, what else could it mean? Yorick's cold demeanor as he left that day and during the phone call earlier screamed he was moving away.

Ursula's tears fell like rain. "It's not me! I didn't do it."
