Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath (Stella) novel Chapter 505

Jaxon had somehow caught wind of Stella's arrival at the hospital, and wasted no time in making his way over.

As Stella was about to lay down for a much-needed rest, he showed up.

The butler was quick to block Jaxon at the door. "Mr. Larkin, Ms. Quinn isn't interested in seeing you right now. I must ask you to leave."

"Step aside," Jaxon barked, his voice thick with frustration.

He had been waiting too long in the freezing winds of Mist Bay, which only stoked his fiery temper. Learning that Stella had left Mist Bay nearly drove him mad with the need to see her.

Seeing Jaxon's demeanor, the butler's tone turned firm. "Mr. Larkin, if you can't conduct yourself properly, don't be surprised if I have to insist you leave."

Jaxon exploded at the butler's words. "Conduct myself? I'm here to see my sister, and you think you can stand in my way?"

The butler's expression turned steely as he reminded Jaxon, "Mind your words, Mr. Larkin. Ms. Quinn is not your sister. You might want to double-check whose doorstep you're at."

Jaxon was stunned. "Double-check? She's Stella..."

"She is the darling daughter of the Lugar family," the butler interrupted. "Are you sure you want to make such claims in front of the Lugar family?"

The warning in the butler's voice was unmistakable.

Jaxon felt a lump in his throat. In front of the Lugar family? That was a risk no one would dare take. But Stella...

Remembering Stella had grown up with the Lugar family made Jaxon more desperate. The Lugar family was not to be trifled with, but then thoughts of Cloudia, currently detained, flashed through his mind. He had to bite back his anger.

"At least let me see her for a moment."

He had heard she was flying back to Ferrowland that evening. The Larkin family had urgent matters that couldn't wait for Stella's return from Ferrowland.

Inside the room, Stella exchanged a glance with Tegan.

Unfazed, Stella said, "Get some sleep."

Once she woke up, they would be on a plane to Ferrowland, leaving all these troublesome people behind.

Tegan glanced between Stella and the closed door, unsure of what was unfolding outside. All they could hear was Jaxon's muffled groans. It sounded like he was getting a good beating.

He continued to groan and call out Stella's name, but she merely pulled out her phone and started playing a game. The room filled with the sound of virtual gunfire, drowning out the commotion outside.

Tegan was amazed.

What a move. If Jaxon could see Stella nonchalantly gaming while he got beaten up, he'd probably explode with rage.
