Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath (Stella) novel Chapter 422

The Horner family never really warmed up to Tegan, so Uriah decided not to live in the family mansion. Instead, he bought a quaint little estate on the outskirts, where he and Tegan had been staying.

Tegan glanced at Stella without saying a word.

Stella raised an eyebrow. "Where did you buy?"

Tegan replied, "Silk-River Residences."

Stella's eyes widened.

Apparently, whenever a girl decides to move out, Silk-River Residences is the go-to spot. Stella herself was a fan, mainly because the place had such amazing amenities.

"Does Uriah know about this?" Stella asked.

Tegan shook her head. "He doesn't."

Stella was stunned. "Uriah doesn't know? Wait. What's going on between you two?"

In Stella's mind, Tegan and Uriah always seemed like the perfect couple. Uriah was always so devoted to her, even if his family wasn't.

But now... something seemed off.

Tegan shook her head again and glanced at Stella, but ultimately kept quiet.

Before they could say anything else, a mocking voice called out from nearby, "Well, isn't it Jaxon's little sister, Stella?"

Turning towards the voice, Stella and Tegan saw Sirena Patel with a girl in a tan coat, who turned out to be Vivian Warner.

Sirena was known to be close with Ursula, so naturally, her friends were usually in the same circle.

Seeing Vivian made Stella and Tegan's expressions sour.

Sirena wasn't too pleased either, but remembering her brother Jeremy, she held her tongue.

Stella glared at Vivian. "What’s with that tone?"

Vivian's head whipped to the side from the force of the slap.

Already holding a grudge against Stella for ruining her chance with Finley, whom she'd liked for ages, Vivian was furious. Stella's actions only added fuel to the fire.

Vivian lunged at Stella, her anger boiling over. "You’re only a foster child of the Lugar family. What makes you any different from Ursula?"

She was clawing at Stella, enraged. The date with Finley was something she had fought hard for, only for Stella to ruin it.

Stella wasn't having any of it. At the mention of the Lugar family, she slapped Vivian again, hard.

"Smack!"

That second slap sent the scene into chaos.

Sirena stood there, stunned, trying to break them up. "Vivian, stop!"

Despite her own issues with Stella, Sirena was wary of Stella’s connections, especially with Ronald in the picture. She knew Vivian was in deep trouble.
