Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath (Stella) novel Chapter 435

Yorick had made up his mind about Ursula. He wouldn’t engage with her anymore, which was as clear as day.

Ursula called him once, and Hanson watched Yorick block her number without a second thought.

They used to be so close. Who could have imagined they'd end up like this?

Julius asked, "So, what's the deal with Stella?"

Hanson turned to Yorick curiously.

"Don't mess up when it comes to Stella," he warned.

The Lugar family wasn't someone they could mess with, and Yorick knew it was the last place he should make any reckless moves.

Yorick let out a bitter chuckle. "Do I even have the right to mess up in front of her now?"

She was supposed to be his fiancée for two years, and they were on the brink of getting married.

But now, he couldn't even get a glimpse of Stella.

Regret gnawed at him. Stella would be his wife if he hadn't called off the engagement.

So what if it involved the Lugar family? Once married, Stella would have been his. But now...

Hanson shook his head. "You don't."

Stella had grown up in the Lugar family and was now close to Ronald. It was clear Ronald had feelings for Stella from the start.

After hearing Hanson's confirmation, a new level of pain flashed in Yorick's eyes.

As he was about to say something, his phone buzzed. It was the landline from the Quarry Manor.

A bit muddled, Yorick answered, "Hello?"

"Mr. Quarry, you need to come home quickly. Something big has happened at home."

Yorick's eyes widened. "What happened?"

He had cut ties with Ursula, so what could have happened at his home? Could it be his grandparents, given their age?

The butler's voice was urgent. "You should come home first. Mrs. Quarry has fainted, and Frost is on his way, too."

Yorick was stunned. If even Frost got called back, something serious must be up.

"What happened?"

Stella jolted awake and sat up. "What’s going on?"

Trust Susie to be on top of things. Even from Ferrowland, she was up to date with the gossip in Portis City, unaffected by her mother's influence.

Susanna continued, "It's a bit of a long story."

"Make it short."

No story was too long to summarize. If one sentence doesn't cut it, make it two.

"The financial director is Ursula's aunt," Susanna revealed.

Stella was stunned. "What?"

Ursula's aunt?

That was a lot to process.

Susanna explained, "She's the sister of the nanny who secretly abandoned you."

Stella burst out laughing. "Oh my!"
