Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath (Stella) novel Chapter 418

Even if Cloudia didn't say why she was looking for Stella, Lola probably already knew. She was still trying to protect Ursula.

Cloudia, fueled by frustration, closed her eyes briefly and then reopened them, marching over to Lola. "Transfer Jaxon's money to me."

Lola looked baffled. "Excuse me?"

Spitting out the nuts she had been munching on, Lola glared at Cloudia with disbelief. "What are you talking about?"

Cloudia repeated, "I said, transfer Jaxon's money back to me, exactly as it was. Do you understand? That's our family's money, and you have no right to it."

Thinking about how this woman had taken all of her son's money, Cloudia was in no mood to be polite.

Lola tossed the remaining shells onto the floor. "I have no right? And you do? Or maybe Ursula does?"

Cloudia retorted, "Who has the right isn't up to you to decide. Now, give me the money."

It always came back to money. She was fuming, looking at Lola with pure disdain and anger.

Lola let out a sarcastic laugh. "Am I seeing things?"

What a waste of time dealing with this lot. These people never seemed to grasp reality.

"Once the money is in my pocket, there's no chance of giving it out. And as for this family..." Speaking of the Larkin family, Lola took a deep breath.

"Say whatever you want, but if you think you can dictate terms to me, you're wrong."

With that, Lola headed to the kitchen, poured the medicine, and carried it upstairs.

Cloudia watched her, seething as she realized Lola was giving Jaxon that medicine again.

"I told you not to give him that stuff! Don't you understand?"

She was practically screaming, but Lola ignored her and went straight to Jaxon's room.

Jaxon was asleep, having spent most of his time in bed without a doctor and unable to go to the hospital.

Lola placed the medicine on the nightstand with a thud, waking Jaxon up.

Upon hearing the word "waste," Jaxon went red with fury. "And what about the money I transferred to you?"

What waste? Was the Larkin family really as hopeless as she made it sound?

She had been living here comfortably, and she talked about waste.

What nonsense!

Lola shrugged. "The money? It's for raising our child. You weren't thinking of taking it back, were you?"

Jaxon was speechless. That money was all they had left. He hadn't been to the office but kept in touch with his team. He knew the company was in dire straits, and to top it off, his father had siphoned what little money was left in the business.

The company was bankrupt.

The Larkin family had nothing.

And Lola was planning to take his last bit of money and their child and leave?
