Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath (Stella) novel Chapter 481

The butler had dispatched the driver to pick up Tegan.

Stella dialed Tegan’s number. "Tegan, the driver’s on his way to get you."

"What? You’re not coming?"

"Ronald won’t let me leave."

Stella was an excellent driver, so why Ronald was so worried, was beyond her.

Tegan replied, "Makes sense. With this blizzard, I’d be anxious too. Hang tight. I’m on my way."

"Okay, see you soon."

The cold outside was biting. Stella glanced at the thick blanket of snow outside, just about to ask why Tegan was coming over, but the call had already ended.

...

Outside, the driver returned to Jaxon's car. "Security's too intimidated to inform Ms. Quinn of our visit."

Jaxon frowned, giving the driver a displeased look. "She didn’t answer?"

He was referring to Stella, of course. None of their phones could get through to her. The only one they could somewhat communicate with was the security at Mist Bay’s gate, but even they were hesitant.

The driver shrugged, "The butler picked up the calls."

He hadn’t heard Stella's voice at all.

Jaxon took a deep breath, his frustration mounting. What now, if he couldn’t see Stella? The whole Larkin family situation hinged on her saying a word.

Who'd have thought? Once upon a time, they underestimated Stella, yet she held all the cards now. After all, she was the Lugar family’s little princess. The Lugar family was a clan that struck fear into many.

Back then, they favored Ursula without a second thought.

But now...

Jaxon felt a sting of irony at their past actions.
