Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath (Stella) novel Chapter 45

Was her disgust for him because of Ursula?

Or was it because of that man squatting in her house?

In that moment, Yorick realized with a chilling clarity that Stella might truly not want to marry him. The thought of her reluctance suffocated him.

He gripped Stella's wrist tighter, "Come with me."

"I'll say it again, let go!" Stella demanded.

Yorick turned to face her.

In that brief moment their eyes met, Yorick saw an endless coldness in the depths of her gaze.

Her eyes were so cold… devoid of any warmth.

"Do you want to end up in the hospital like Jaxon?" Stella challenged.

Yorick was speechless.

That was when Finley stepped in, grabbing Yorick's wrist, "Mr. Quarry, you really need to let go of Stella."

"And who are you?" Yorick growled.

Just last night, he had encountered a stranger at Silk-River Residences, and now another?

The moment Yorick saw Finley's face clearly, his pupils shrank in shock.

Finley Yoder!? What was he doing here?

This medical prodigy from Ferrowland, especially renowned for his flawless heart surgeries, had billionaires lining up for his services.

Yet, mysteriously, two years ago, Finley had abruptly ended his medical career, turning away all patients. Still, his surgical prowess was often spoken of in high regard.

"The specifics of who I am don't matter. What does is if you keep manhandling her, I assure you, Mr. Quarry, you won't leave this banquet alive tonight."

Finley's eyes narrowed dangerously. At the time, his usually gentle gaze radiated an unprecedented danger.

Even Stella tensed at Finley's unusual display of menace.
