Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath (Stella) novel Chapter 46

"Mr. Patel, if you can't even manage your own family, I'm going to have to think twice about this partnership."

Jeremy was speechless.

Shouldn't business and personal life be kept separate?

What did his ability to manage his family have to do with their business deal?

Before Jeremy could wrap his head around it, Ronald strode downstairs, leaving Jeremy utterly baffled.

The ambulance arrived swiftly, taking Jaxon away, and Sirena insisted on following.

Jeremy grabbed her arm, "Where do you think you're going?"

"That wench Stella hit Jaxon today, how can I not go see him?"

Now that she was the public-recognized girlfriend of Jaxon's, it was only natural for her to accompany him.

Jeremy was exasperated with his sister, especially with her association with the Larkins, whom he looked down upon. Ursula always seemed so pretentious, and he couldn't fathom what his sister saw in them.

Seeing Jaxon in this state, it was clear to Jeremy that Stella must have reached her breaking point and lashed out at him again. The sight of Sirena wanting to follow only fueled his anger.

"Go where? Get back to your freaking room, you've embarrassed yourself enough."

Sirena retorted, "What embarrassment? Let me go!"

"Nash."

"Yes."

"Take her back to her room."

Seeing Jeremy getting serious, Sirena became even more frantic, "What are you doing?"

Jeremy glared at her fiercely, "I'll deal with you later!"

With that, he hurried off.

Ronald's rare visit to Portis City, coupled with his agreement to meet, was now being overshadowed by Sirena's drama.

Unwilling to go upstairs, Sirena was adamant about seeing Jaxon.

"Let me go, I need to go to the hospital."

The scene was chaotic until Nash, worried about Jeremy's wrath, quickly had someone take Sirena upstairs.

Stella replied, "I'm fine. Let's go for hot wings tomorrow. Bye."

She quickly hung up.

Ronald, on the other hand, didn't answer his call. Hearing Stella not only answer her phone but also make dinner plans, his mood grew even darker.

When Jeremy called again, Ronald didn't hesitate to hang up and block the number.

"I really wasn't bullied. Can you stop looking so grim?" Stella pouted.

Ronald asked, "Really?"

"Really," Stella asserted.

Ronald snorted coldly, "Is this how you've been living these past years?"

Stella fell silent. His question hit the nail on the head. Indeed, she had been living like this for years.

They say you have to lose to win others' affection.

Perhaps because she was never good at losing, that's why so many people disliked her.
