Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath (Stella) novel Chapter 455

The Larkin family was in complete disarray.

After Cloudia confronted Ursula, she dashed out of the house like a whirlwind, leaving Ursula and Jaxon behind.

Ursula, her eyes brimming with tears, looked at Jaxon. But Jaxon’s once gentle eyes that used to regard her with warmth were now filled with icy indifference.

"Jaxon," Ursula called out, her voice choked with emotion.

Jaxon didn’t respond. Instead, he turned his back on her and walked to his room, leaving Ursula feeling even more suffocated and hurt as tears streamed down her face.

...

That evening, Stella was lounging in the living room, watching TV. She never was much for fiddling with her phone. Suddenly, a breaking news story flashed across the screen.

"Breaking News: A high-profile murder occurred in the city today. Stay tuned for further details."

The anchor delivered the news in a robotic tone, but Stella's attention was immediately caught by the background footage. She squinted at the screen—was that Cloudia?

Her phone buzzed, interrupting her thoughts. It was Susanna calling.

"Susie," Stella answered.

"Star, it’s said that Cloudia murdered someone! She killed someone!"

Stella’s eyes widened. Upon hearing this, she glanced back at the scene on TV, where it showed Cloudia in handcuffs.

“It isn’t just a rumor - it’s real.”

The city news broadcast proved its authenticity.

"Holy Smokes! Is she out of her mind?" Susanna exclaimed.

"Hang on, let me see who she murdered."

Stella leaned in closer to the TV.

"Are you watching the news?" Susanna asked.

"Yeah."

Susanna addressed, "Don’t bother, it must be the homewrecker."
