Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath (Stella) novel Chapter 492

She turned around only to find herself staring into Ronald's deep-set eyes. She patted her chest dramatically, exclaiming, "Oh my God, you scared me to death!"

Ronald raised an eyebrow. "Talking smack about Hull again?"

Stella's eyes widened in shock. Had he overheard that? When had he even come in?

Ignoring Ronald’s question, she changed the subject. "Has Jeremy left?"

Ronald nodded with a simple "Yeah."

Stella pressed, "Something's up with the Warner family, right?"

Jeremy had rushed over to see her, which usually meant trouble. And if Sirena had been involved in whatever conflict was brewing, it definitely wasn't good news. The only logical conclusion was that the Warner family had hit a rough patch.

Ronald shrugged. "That's none of your concern."

Stella paused, confirming her suspicions. No wonder Jeremy seemed so tense today.

Thinking back to the incident, Stella added, "Sirena wasn’t the one causing trouble that day, so don’t drag her into this."

Ronald looked puzzled. "Hmm?"

"She even held Vivian back, trying to keep the peace," Stella explained. Though, if she was honest, Sirena's attempt at peacemaking seemed more like an opportunity for Vivian to get herself into more trouble.

Just as Stella was about to launch into a story about Vivian, Ronald's phone rang. He gave her a quick peck on the cheek before stepping out to take the call.

Left alone, Stella was soon interrupted by a housekeeper announcing, "Miss, a lady named Frost Quarry is here to see you."

Stella was stunned. Frost? Yorick's sister.

Stella might have been friends with Frost if it weren’t for Yorick. Frost was energetic and decisive, the kind of woman who would have effortlessly taken over the Quarry family’s business if she were a boy. But with Hogan back, the family succession was more complicated than ever.

Stella didn’t care much for the rest of the Quarry family, but Frost wasn’t too bad, probably because they hadn’t interacted much.

"Show her to the living room," Stella instructed.

The housekeeper nodded, and Stella took a moment to change before heading downstairs.
