Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath (Stella) novel Chapter 535

Stella's return to the Larkin family drove Ursula into a hysterical frenzy. She'd smile sweetly on the outside but was seething with resentment behind closed doors.

After causing so much havoc, did she really think fate would spare her?

There came the reckoning.

After all the effort she put into clawing her way up, Ursula ended up with nothing. Her health was failing, and it was doubtful she'd last long out there.

Stella remarked, "The Larkin family is at each other's throats now. They can't even spare a thought for her. Jaxon is taking all his frustrations out on her."

So much for family loyalty, huh? It all ended up being a sham.

While she was in Portis City, Jaxon still prattled on about his sibling bond with Ursula. But now, Ursula was just a convenient punching bag for his wrath.

Susanna nodded, "Exactly. With Cloudia in jail, the Larkin Group going bankrupt, and Blaise struggling to support his other family, Jaxon is alone, and Ursula's situation is particularly dire."

Susanna couldn't help but feel satisfied.

"And then there's Yorick, who once saw Ursula as his dream girl. Well, now they're a perfect match," Susanna continued.

The Quarry family used to think Ursula wasn't good enough for Yorick. Now, it was fitting. They were both down on their luck, so neither could look down on the other.

Stella took a sip from her mug. "The Quarry family used to have Yorick as their only heir, so Thane had no option but to tolerate him. Now there's another son, there's a choice."

Susanna nodded vigorously. "Exactly! Thane must have been blind. Frost is way more capable than Yorick."

Even if Frost was chosen to manage the Quarry Group, it wouldn't have been Yorick.

But now, with someone to split the inheritance, Yorick's left with nothing.

Downstairs, the gossip was flying fast and furious. Upstairs, Ronald sat beside Hull's bed.

After hearing Hull's confession, Ronald gave him an amused and perplexed look, especially when his gaze lingered below Hull's waist.
