Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath [Stella] (Chapters 111 to 120) 

Chapter 111

Verbal sparring was Stella’s forte. And sure, if it came down to a fistfight, Jaxon wouldn’t stand a chance against her either.

The moment she dropped that bomb, Jaxon on the other end of the call felt his heart throbbing in frustration.

Hearing that Stella was even aware of his secret only made Jaxon double down on his resolve to get her out of the city. She was trouble, for him and for Ursula alike.

“You, you, I’m not gonna mince words here. Mom said you need to leave Portis City, pronto. Are you gonna go yourself, or do I have to make you?”

Jaxon’s words, “make you”, were spoken through clenched teeth, and Stella could tell he meant business.

But if it was a showdown he wanted, she was done playing nice. The truth was bound to come out sooner or later, so why bother hiding it?

“Oh, you’re gonna make me? Really? And just how do you plan on doing that?” she scoffed.

Jaxon was speechless.

Stella went on, “If that guy tonight could pull me out of that mess, he’s definitely got the means to keep me safe. Tell Ursula, I’m not going anywhere.”

The events of the evening had unfolded like a series of calculated moves. Between the verbal jabs and the sneaky tricks, it was clear Ursula was desperate to have her out of Portis City.

But Stella was no fool. There had to be a reason behind it all, and she was determined to find out why Ursula was so eager to see her go.

Stella’s tone was dripping with sarcasm, her attitude defiant. This only served to infuriate Jaxon even further, “You, you…”

“What about me? If you’re so capable, why waste time arguing? I doubt you’ll show me any mercy.

If you think you can get rid of me, by all means, try. I’ll be waiting. If not, don’t bother trying to win a war of words. You won’t win anyway.”

Jaxon hung up the phone in a fury. Continuing this conversation with Stella was going to be the death of him.

After chatting with Ursula for quite a while, Cloudia came out to find Jaxon fuming.

Jaxon shot Cloudia a look and sighed, “We might not be able to send her away after all.”

“She was taken by a man, someone with influence. And she’s not staying at Silk-River Residences anymore.”

“I don’t know,” Jaxon admitted, feeling a headache surging on.

But the events of the past few days, along with the people she knew, suggested otherwise. Finley, Tegan, the man who rescued her…

Cloudia was furious at the thought of being unable to send Stella away.

Jaxon replied, “Maybe we need to dig a little deeper into her background first.”

“To dig what? What could possibly be in her background? She’s just a country girl.”

“But the people she knows are anything but simple. Yorick mentioned the man at Silk-River Residences was clearly someone of status, and his relationship with Stella didn’t seem new. Then there’s Finley and her studio.”

These were all individuals of notable standing. For a young girl to run such a large studio, where did the startup capital come from?

Hearing Jaxon lay it out, Cloudia too began to harbor doubts. It seemed she had never truly known her own daughter.

“Then let’s get to the bottom of this, and quickly,” Cloudia said.

After tonight’s close call with Ursula, they couldn’t afford to let Stella stay in Portis City any longer than necessary.

Chapter 112

Jaxon nodded, “I know.”

Just as they were about to say something else, alarms from the hospital room’s machines started blaring urgently.

Jaxon and Cloudia exchanged a glance, their faces all changing drastically, before rushing into the room.

Ursula was lying on the bed, her face pale as she kept her eyes shut.

The machines beeped frantically, scaring Cloudia, “Ursula, Ursula! Call a doctor!”

Ursula weakly opened her eyes, feebly grabbing Cloudia’s hand, “Mom, it hurts so much.”

Those words shattered Cloudia’s heart.

…

Over at Wave Residence.

Stella found herself wrapped in Ronald’s arms, his hand gripping her waist. The other hand played with a strand of her hair. He seemed to enjoy having her sit on his lap, a preference he’s had since they were kids.

But Stella was feeling uneasy now, “Ronald, it…”

What to say? She had lost count of how many times they had this conversation in recent days.

Yet, Ronald seemed to automatically filter it out, not listening or something.

Stella felt her heart might just jump out of her chest.

Ronald asked, “The one you love? Who is it?”

His fingers curled a lock of Stella’s hair, his tone laced with a trace of tease.

Stella’s mind buzzed, her cheeks flushing uncontrollably.

How could there be such a coincidence? Ronald had just walked in to hear those words.

Now, Stella’s face was all red, “Let go of me first.”

“You’ve really grown up, even have someone you love,” Ronald’s voice was soft, filled with his unique indulgence towards Stella.

Stella faced his tenderness, her heart tightening to its limit.

“Ummm…” she stuttered, completely at a loss for words.

“Tell me, who are you in love with, hmm?”

“Can I not say?”

“No, Star, tell me who you love, and I’ll take care of it.”

Stella felt helpless.

The things in her heart, if spoken, were too risky; she couldn’t take the chance.

“No?”

“But why do I feel like there is.”

Stella shook her head, not daring to continue.

His mention of “playing” referred to her interactions with the Larkin family and Yorick.

Those guys were definitely suffering inside, but even if she loved to play, she shouldn’t stay up late.

Ronald left the room, and Stella, seeing he didn’t press further, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

…

Idris saw Ronald come out and approached respectfully, “Sir.”

As they walked, Ronald lit a cigarette, “Kids grow up, start keeping secrets.”

His words carried depth.

But Idris understood exactly what he meant.

“Ms. Quinn only thinks about you. You don’t need to worry about that.”

Ronald exhaled smoke, “Is that so?”

Idris nodded, “Yes.”

As Ronald heard this, his lips curved into a pleased smile.

“Speed up that thing. The air in Portis City isn’t too good.”

Idris replied, “Understood.”

Chapter 113

That night, Stella slept soundly at Wave Residence, but the folks at the hospital weren’t so lucky; they spent the night tossing and turning. Ursula was suffering terribly.

Early the next morning, a cardiologist sought out Cloudia, “Mrs. Larkin, there are some things we need to discuss. Could you step outside with me?”

Seeing the grave look on the doctor’s face, Cloudia felt a wave of foreboding. She glanced at Ursula, lying on the hospital bed, then nodded and followed the doctor into the hallway.

Cloudia, her face etched with worry, gazed at the cardiologist, “Is there something wrong with Ursula’s health?”

The doctor nodded solemnly.

“We’ve been carefully examining her heart condition, and the surgery she requires is quite complex. I’m afraid we’re not very confident in our ability to handle it.”

Cloudia’s heart lurched at those words.

“What do you mean you’re not very confident? You’re the experts. If you don’t have confidence, then who does?”

Cloudia was immediately alarmed by the doctor’s lack of confidence. The ordeal of Ursula’s illness had already been a nightmare for her, tormenting them with the constant fear that Ursula might never wake up.

Now, hearing the doctor’s words, Cloudia turned pale.

The doctor continued, “I just want to make sure you understand the risks involved. However, there is one doctor who could significantly increase the success rate of the surgery if you could persuade him to take the case.”

“Which doctor?”

Hope sparked in Cloudia’s eyes at the mention of someone who could potentially save Ursula. But when the doctor mentioned the name, her hope plummeted.

“Finley Yoder. A young doctor, but exceptionally talented in these matters. He’s handled many complex surgeries without a single failure.”

Why him? The man connected to Stella, whom they had already approached once before.

With the world’s vast medical resources, she couldn’t believe that only Finley had that extent of success.

Given Ursula’s prominent position in the Larkin family, the doctor felt compelled to make the situation clear, to avoid any blame should complications arise.

Numbly, she nodded, “Okay, I understand.”

The doctor handed her Finley’s contact information, “Here’s his info. We’ve already reached out to him, but he refused. Maybe you can give it a try.”

Left alone, Cloudia leaned against the cold hospital wall, feeling an intense turmoil inside.

What was she going to do?

She hadn’t yet figured out how to approach Finley again.

Then, the leading OB-GYN approached her, “Ms. Larkin’s uterine condition is quite precarious. After our analysis, we believe surgery would necessitate the removal of her uterus.”

Chapter 114

Claudia gasped, her voice tight with shock and disbelief, “What did you say?”

Anger flashed in her eyes, a storm brewing beneath the surface.

“Remove her uterus? We paid a fortune for your expertise, and you’re telling me that it’s to strip her of her future as a mother?”

Her fury was palpable as she glared at the doctor.

The Quarry family already had their reservations about Ursula, and if they found out she could no longer bear children, then it was curtains for her and Yorick.

With Stella and Yorick’s relationship already on the rocks, losing the possibility of Ursula and Yorick’s future together meant the end of the road for any alliance between them.

“Are all of you incompetent? With all the resources at your disposal, can none of you save her uterus?”

The doctor replied, “Her condition is quite severe. She also has liver cancer, which severely limits the medications we can use. Her body can’t take much more.”

Cloudia was rendered speechless, her heart tightened at the words.

The doctor continued, “There’s Professor, Tegan James, you know her, right?”

Cloudia looked at the specialist, struggling for breath, “What do you mean?”

“She’s made significant advances in this field. Despite her young age, she’s managed to help many patients over the years.

If you could get her on board, there might still be a chance to save Ms. Larkin’s uterus.”

Tegan, Finley!

Back to them again.

“Are they really that indispensable? All of you, and none can replace them?”

The doctor fell silent, a testament to the unique talents some possess that simply can’t be replicated through effort alone.

The doctor, his expression grim, turned and left. It wasn’t entirely the doctor’s fault; Ursula’s health was a complex puzzle, each condition as urgent as the next.

“Mom, what’s happened?”

Yorick and Jaxon remained silent.

Jaxon admitted, “There’s no way to pressure her.”

“Then we’ll just have to kidnap her!” Cloudia blurted out in desperation.

Stella, who had just turned the corner, overheard Cloudia’s drastic suggestion.

To kidnap her?

A cold shadow passed over her eyes.

Not having noticed her existence, Cloudia kept on, “I have no other choice. We must get Tegan and Finley back no matter what. Since she chose the hard way instead of the easy one, there’s nothing I could do.”

Stella stepped into view, “So, Mrs. Larkin, are you suggesting that if I refuse to take it in an easy way, you’ll resort to kidnapping me?”

Claudia, Yorick, and Jaxon froze, caught in the act.

Chapter 115

Hearing the voice, the group turned their heads in unison to see Stella, clad in a beige trench coat, standing not too far off.

Her hands were buried in her pockets, a playful amusement in her eyes.

At that moment, the trio felt their hearts leap into their throats.

Stella sauntered over with an air of nonchalance, Idris trailing behind her, his expression somewhat grim.

The reports had one story, but seeing it with their own eyes was wholly unexpected. To think they would go to such lengths against their own blood.

Stella stopped in front of Cloudia, “Planning a little kidnapping, are we? For Ursula’s sake?”

Cloudia was on edge, her nerves stretched thin. She hadn’t anticipated Stella overhearing their plot. What rotten luck.

She took a deep breath, “Let Tegan and Finley come back.”

“And if I refuse? What then? You’ll kill me?”

That was the plan, wasn’t it? She’d heard it all.

They were actually contemplating kidnapping her to force her hand in calling Tegan and Finley, all for Ursula’s sake.

What did blood ties even mean, at this point?

Cloudia, now facing Stella’s casual demeanor, found herself at a loss for words.

Jaxon, witnessing Stella’s imposing stance towards Cloudia, stepped forward in a fit of anger and pushed Stella away, “Enough! Is this how a younger should address an elder?”

As Stella stumbled, Idris immediately steadied her before landing a swift kick to Jaxon’s stomach. The pain was sharp and immediate.

Jaxon clutched his abdomen, his face turning pale, “You…”

Seeing Jaxon get hit, Cloudia rushed to support him. Her face, previously dominated by Stella’s intimidation, now crumbled into despair, “What’s the meaning of this?”

Yorick’s gaze shifted to Idris, a dangerous gleam in his eyes.

Another man? And who might this be?

Feeling the menacing aura emanating from that man, Yorick squinted, signaling a threat, “Stella, come over here!”

Why were there so many men around her? In just a few days, she seemed to have been accompanied by three different men.

Yorick was speechless.

The rage was boiling over in Yorick.

Stella’s gaze fell on Yorick’s slightly bruised face and the cast on his wrist.

At her words, Yorick’s head buzzed with intense humiliation.

“Alright.”

Stella and Idris strode past Jaxon and Cloudia.

Yorick’s gaze followed her, his eyes colder than ever.

“Stella, stop right there.”

Cloudia had reached her limit. Especially seeing Jaxon lying on the ground, unable to get up, she felt like she was going to explode. The past two years had been nothing but frustration over Stella, and seeing Jaxon beaten only added fuel to the fire.

Stella paused, turning to face her, “What now?”

“Bring back Tegan and Finley. Whatever you want, I’ll agree to.”

“Mrs. Larkin, you sure know how to bend, playing it tough and then soft.”

It came from her own mother. Just moments ago, she was threatening to kidnap her own daughter, and now here she was, softening her tone.

Stella had seen her share of shameless people over the years, but Cloudia was something else entirely.

Chapter 116

Cloudia, meeting Stella’s sarcastic gaze, felt even more suffocated.

“I’m sorry, so sorry, it’s all my fault.”

Stella spoke, “It’s indeed your fault. I’ll have my lawyer get in touch. When he hands you the papers, just sign them.”

Papers to sever ties. Getting entangled with these people was just bad luck.

With those words, Stella turned and left with Idris by her side.

Watching Stella’s retreating figure, Cloudia felt a tightness in her chest that made it hard to breathe.

Jaxon struggled to his feet, the pain in his stomach starting to subside a bit.

The guy with Stella, he had to be some kind of boxing artist. That kick felt like it was going to burst his insides; it hurt so much!

“What papers does she want you to sign?”

Cloudia was silent. Remembering Stella’s words about cutting off all ties made her head throb with anger.

“What else could it be? She wants to sever ties with us completely.”

Jaxon and Yorick exchanged glances at Cloudia’s words.

Cloudia added, “I didn’t know where she got that confidence from before, but now I get it.”

Her words were laced with venom. She hadn’t realized the extent of Stella’s backing when she first mentioned severing ties.

“To think she’d cut ties with us because there are some men she can rely on? She’ll regret it,” Jaxon said fiercely.

He was convinced Stella would come to regret it, and when she did, they wouldn’t give her a chance to make amends.

Cloudia didn’t speak, but she shared Jaxon’s sentiment.

“But what do we do now?”

“Just sign the papers, and let’s get Tegan and Finley to treat Ursula,” Jaxon said without hesitation.

He refused to believe they couldn’t handle Stella. Once he dug up dirt on those men around her, he’d find a way to deal with her.

No matter what, they needed to bring the doctors back.

On their way to see Old Mrs. Zeller, Idris couldn’t help but glance at Stella a few times.

“You’re not someone who takes things lying down. How did you end up getting pushed around by these people for years?”

Given her temperament, she should’ve cut ties at the first sign of trouble, not let these people get close enough to cause problems.

“Still, given your temperament, shouldn’t you have cut all ties long ago?”

The fact that she was once engaged to Yorick was something Idris couldn’t wrap his head around.

Stella looked at him, smiling, “Exactly, according to my temperament, I should’ve cut all ties, right?”

Idris didn’t respond.

“But I remember why I left the Quinn family, and why I stayed away from Ronald.”

Mentioning leaving the Quinn family still brought a pang of sadness, even after all this time. Back then, she was in so much pain, pain that was heart-wrenching…

Those were Ronald’s toughest days, and she wanted to be by his side, to weather the storm together.

But she couldn’t.

Idris asked, “Was it because the Schultz family was always lurking in the shadows, watching you?”

Stella glanced down at an inconspicuous scar in the palm of her hand, and with a heavy heart, she simply murmured, “Yeah.”

Chapter 117

After visiting Old Mrs. Zeller, Stella made her way past Ursula’s hospital room, where Yorick was waiting for her at the door.

Spotting her, Yorick frowned and stepped forward to block her path.

Stella raised an eyebrow, “Looking for another beating today?”

Yorick shot back, “What’s gotten into you lately?”

His tone was icy, his gaze viciously dark as he glanced at the man following Stella.

Idris exuded an air of distinction. Yorick was convinced he was yet another of Stella’s conquests.

Stella snorted, “None of your freaking business.”

“If you really cut ties with the Larkin family, who do you think you will be? You believe those men would still want you?”

Yorick’s eyes drifted to Idris as he mentioned “those men”.

Idris’ aura turned even colder. He took a step forward, “Miss, why don’t you wait in the car?”

Yorick was speechless.

Miss?

Stella wasn’t in the mood for more nonsense with Yorick. She nodded, glancing at Idris.

“Just be careful.”

The Quarry family was a big deal in Portis City after all. With Ronald staying in town for some serious business, upsetting the Quarries could spell trouble for everyone involved.

Idris, knowing Stella was considering Ronald’s position, nodded, “Understood.”

As Stella passed Yorick, he grabbed her wrist, “Explain yourself.”

Before Yorick could ask anything else, he suddenly felt a sense of weightlessness and found his head bumping against the wall with a bang.

Idris couldn’t stand the insult to Stella. If Ronald got the words and found out he did nothing, there’d be hell to pay.

Yorick exploded, “You bastard!”

Stella, uninterested in the spectacle, walked straight away.

He tried to follow, but Idris engaged him again. With only one hand at his disposal and Idris’ superior skill, Yorick quickly found himself at a disadvantage.

“Jaxon, Jaxon…” Cloudia pleaded in desperation.

“Mr. Quarry, keep this up, and you’ll lose another hand. Are you sure you want to continue?”

Idris, on the other hand, calmly adjusted his suit, turned and left.

Jaxon, pale as a ghost, approached Yorick, “Are you okay?”

He glanced worriedly at Yorick’s trembling leg.

Jaxon himself was in pain; Idris’ tackle had not been gentle.

Yorick narrowed his eyes slightly. Before he could respond, Ursula’s pained moans from the room cut through the tension.

Cloudia rushed into the room first.

Jaxon glanced at Yorick, “When it rains, it pours. Ursula used to be so vain, but now she’s losing her hair. Alas…”

Jaxon couldn’t finish his words, his tone dripping with distress towards Ursula.

Yorick glanced at Jaxon, then back at the hospital room door.

Just as Jaxon thought Yorick would go see Ursula, he turned and walked away, his silhouette stern, steps faltering slightly.

Chapter 118

“Wait, what?” Jaxon blinked in confusion.

That was it? Was he just leaving?

The sounds of Ursula’s pain echoed from the hospital room, mixed with Cloudia’s soothing words.

Wasn’t Yorick going to check on her? What did his departure mean?

For a moment, Jaxon couldn’t quite grasp the situation.

…

On Stella’s end, Idris had driven her straight to the Orient Nexus Building. As Stella got out of the car, Idris told her, “Mr. Quinn’s got some business to attend to today, so he can only join you for dinner.”

“Okay, got it,” Stella nodded obediently, then turned and walked away.

Watching her leave, Idris pulled out his phone and called Ronald, “Mr. Quinn.”

“Did you visit Old Mrs. Zeller?”

Idris replied, “Yes, but we also ran into folks from the Larkin family and Yorick.”

The line went silent for a moment.

Even through the phone, Idris could feel Ronald’s icy aura.

“Yorick seems to have a lot of free time, huh?”

“The entire Larkin family seems to have too much time on their hands, always hovering around that woman,” Idris answered.

Indeed, too much free time. Aside from hiring a bunch of specialists, they even personally accompanied her.

Yorick, in particular, visited Ursula at the hospital every day.

“What’s Star’s reaction?”

Ronald’s tone turned even colder as he asked this.

Clearly, he wasn’t really concerned about whether these people were idle or not. He was more worried about whether their actions were affecting Stella’s mood.

The tension in Ronald’s voice eased noticeably upon hearing this.

Idris added, “However, Yorick and the Larkins are planning to kidnap Ms. Quinn.”

…

Seeing him, Stella was far from pleased.

Yorick’s already sour expression darkened further upon hearing Stella’s words, his anger visibly growing.

His words carried a hint of frustration. Apart from him, it seemed like the entire Larkin family and even the Quarry family couldn’t get through to her now.

Facing Yorick’s fury, Stella had little to say. She took a sip from the water glass in front of her, “If you can’t get through, then don’t. It’s not like we need to be in contact anyway.”

“No need to be in contact? Then who do you need to be in contact with? Those men?”

Thinking about how she had blocked everyone. What was she relying on? Those men?

The thought of those men made Yorick’s expression even darker, “What did that guy at the hospital mean by calling you ‘Miss’? He doesn’t even know your last name? You just met him? What kind of ‘Miss’ are you? From a nightclub?”

On his way here, Yorick tried to figure out the situation, but he came to only one conclusion.

“Is this studio funded by doing sleazy business?”

Yorick’s anger reached a boiling point. In a rage, he lost all reason.

Faced with groundless accusation, Stella, with the glass of water in hand, threw it directly at Yorick.

The water was somewhat cold. Splashing onto Yorick’s face, it was chilling, pulling his rationality back from the flames of anger.

Chapter 119

Stella stared at Yorick frostily, “You come to yourself now?”

If not, she’d go fetch a bucket and give him a cold shower right there and then.

Yorick glared at Stella, his chest heaving with anger, “You…”

“A nightclub girl? Yorick, with your brain, I’m starting to question how you’ve been managing the Quarry Group. All sunshine, no rain, huh?”

Yorick retorted, “What do you mean?”

“With your IQ, aside from lying to your parents, how could you possibly run a company properly?”

She didn’t believe it for a second.

Clearly, Stella was calling Yorick an idiot.

Yorick was so furious he nearly passed out.

“You!”

“You don’t even have the right to question me, and now you’re here insulting me? Maybe there are a few things you haven’t quite grasped?”

Yorick was speechless.

This infuriating woman, he really wanted to seal her mouth shut.

“What things?”

At this moment, Yorick was seething with rage. But Stella continued to twist the knife, “First off, I dumped you, and the whole of Portis City knows it!”

Yorick remained silent.

Stella continued, “Second, about Finley and Tegan, you’re still begging me, aren’t you?”

Yorick couldn’t reply. The mention of Finley and Tegan only fueled his anger further.

Two doctors, linking human lives to Stella’s words, what kind of doctors were they?

Stella added, “Begging me on one hand, insulting and threatening me on the other?”

Yorick, furious as he was, found himself at a loss for words, especially with Stella’s serious expression as she metaphorically stabbed him in the chest, making him finally realize that her breaking off their engagement was serious.

That was the question Yorick needed answers to. He wouldn’t leave until he got them today.

Her retort was sharp.

Silence.

Idiot! Such an idiot, how on earth did Yorick manage to run the Quarry Group so well?

In fact, Stella was now seriously doubting whether Yorick had been only reporting the good and hiding the bad.

From the outside, the Quarry Group seemed to be at the pinnacle of success. But internally, who knew what mess he had created.

Yorick stared at her coldly. Seeing her refusal to answer, he decided to ignore Stella’s rhetorical question.

“Then let me ask differently, why are you staying at Wave Residence? And who owns it?”

Stella teased, “So eager to find out who’s behind it, planning to buy it for Ursula’s recuperation, huh?”

Though the thought was laughable, it still irked Stella. Her place, eyed by a sick person – if something bad happened there, it would be a curse.

Yorick pressed, “Is it Finley? Or the man you were with at Silk River Residences? Or maybe, the man from the hospital today?”

Stella faced these humiliating questions, her patience finally reaching its limit.

Chapter 120

She wanted to douse Yorick with another glass of water, only to find the glass was empty.

With a loud bang, she slammed it on the desk and stood up, “Wait here for a second.”

Leaving those words behind, Stella strode confidently towards the office door.

Yorick watched her leave, frowning, puzzled about what she was up to, but he decided to wait as she had asked.

He was curious to see what kind of explanation she would come up with. Yeah, that was what Yorick thought.

He figured his words had been too sharp, too aggressive, and Stella needed a moment to cool off.

After taking a breather, she would come back with a reasonable explanation.

…

As Stella emerged from the office, Tabitha approached her respectfully, “Boss.”

Stella headed straight for the restroom, grabbing the mop bucket commonly used by the janitors. The bucket was still full of dirty water, and Stella carried it towards the office.

Seeing this, Tabitha hurriedly offered to help, “Boss, what do you need the bucket for? Let me carry it for you. That water was just used by the janitor to clean the toilets; it wasn’t meant for hands.”

“No need, keep doing your thing.”

From the tone of her boss’ voice, it seemed like the situation was not great.

Knowing that Yorick was in the office, Tabitha had a pretty good idea of what Stella intended to do with that bucket of water.

…

In the office.

Yorick saw Stella enter so quickly, “Cooled off already?”

As soon as he finished, he noticed the bucket in her hands. A bad feeling washed over him.

The next moment, with a splash, he was drenched, cold water making him shiver.

With a loud thud, Stella slammed the bucket onto the floor.

This damn woman!

And what was that smell? It was awful.

Stella crossed her arms, “Feeling awake now? Anything else you don’t understand?”

If looks could kill, Yorick would have devoured her right then and there.

Questioning her like this? If she didn’t show these people a lesson, would they really think Stella was a pushover?

This woman…

“I’ll see your studio shut down!”

Yorick roared as he stood up. His whole demeanor exuded intimidation, trying to pressure Stella.

But Stella remained unfazed, “We’ll see if you can actually do that.”

Intimidation met with defiance!

Yorick’s eyes could have sparked flames, but facing Stella’s fearlessness, his fire seemed to be doused completely.

“I’ll get you for this!”

With those parting words, Yorick stormed out, full of rage.

Behind him, Stella’s disdainful ‘tsk’ sound made his departure even colder, intensifying his resolve to not rest until he had brought her down.
