Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath (Stella) novel Chapter 573

The story takes a turn.

Over in Portis City, poor Ursula was coughing up blood, her mind slipping further into confusion with each passing hour.

Jaxon couldn't bear it anymore. He decided it was time to have a chat with Yorick and figure out a plan.

He felt utterly helpless about the current state of the Larkin family. The Quarry family had been their allies for years, always there to lend a hand.

Naturally, Jaxon assumed they'd come through for the Larkins once again, help them weather this storm.

What Jaxon failed to realize was that the Larkin family had always been a mere pawn in the Quarry family's grand scheme.

While the Larkins owned the mines that were a crucial resource, it was the Quarry family that was raking in the big bucks, leaving the Larkins with mere scraps.

And to make matters worse, the Quarry family was also suffering at the hands of Ronald because of Stella...

As Jaxon approached, he noticed Ursula waiting by the door.

In just a few short nights, she had transformed into a shadow of her former self, her clothes filthy, and her appearance haggard.

She looked like she had hit rock bottom.

Upon seeing Jaxon, Ursula's eyes welled up with tears. "Brother," she whimpered.

Her voice dripped with desperation, a plea for even a shred of sympathy from Jaxon.

Since leaving the Larkins, life had been unbearably harsh. She didn't even have a roof over her head.

The properties Cloudia had once bought for her were all taken back.

It was truly heartless!

Once, she had been the apple of their eye, cherished and adored.

But when she was kicked out, she left with nothing.

All because of Stella, who had torn her world apart.

"Brother, I know I was wrong. I really do," Ursula kept repeating, her voice growing more pitiful with every word.

In the past, Jaxon might have crumbled at Ursula's sorrowful plea.

But not this time.

With narrowed eyes, he spoke, "Still trying to drag Yorick into this? Ursula, you're lucky you're not in jail. You think Yorick would take you back?"

They knew everything now.

It was impossible to accept that the girl they once held so dear was capable of such deceit.
