Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath (Stella) novel Chapter 470

Several of Ursula's old friends had called to check in on her. They said they were checking in, but she knew they were looking to gossip about her misfortune. During the time she was sick, not one of them had bothered to visit.

Yorick frowned, casting a cold glance her way without uttering a word. Indeed, he knew.

Ursula met his icy stare, her voice catching in her throat, "Rick, can you help me, please?"

"You're the only person I can think of right now." Her tone was pleading.

She placed herself in the most vulnerable position, "For the sake of what we once had, could you help me this time? Just this once?"

She knew Yorick was over her. She wasn’t hoping to mend things between them but needed to get Cloudia out. If she didn't, her standing with the Larkin family was as good as over, especially with Jaxon’s current attitude toward her.

First, it was Blaise, and then Jaxon.

Did they care that much about bloodlines? She had been by their side for years! Now Jaxon wouldn’t even acknowledge her.

Yorick said, "The sake of what we once had? Do you mean the feelings you manipulated into existence, feelings built on stepping over others' lives? Is that what you're talking about?"

Ursula was speechless. His words echoed in her mind like a loud gong.

She stared at Yorick, listening to his frosty tone, meeting his cold gaze. She couldn’t believe he would say such things. "You really think what we had was all calculated by me?"

Calculated? What a choice of words it was! Hearing him say that made her chest tighten further. She knew Yorick had no attachment left for her. If there was even a sliver of feeling left, he wouldn’t be speaking like this.

Yorick sneered, "Isn't it true?"

"Just because of that car accident, you're dismissing all my feelings for you? Is that fair to me?"
