Chapter 131
No sooner had the words been spoken, than Ursula’s heart pounded, “I, I’ve got scammed!”
Cloudia gasped, “What? You…”
Scammed? A profound look crossed Yorick’s eyes, his thoughts inscrutable to those around him.
Jaxon, however, harbored no doubts. He chuckled, “Got scammed, huh? No wonder you were arguing with that person, even talking about jail time?”
Ursula’s heart raced as she nodded hastily, “Yeah, they took ten thousand dollars from me. I was furious.”
Cloudia felt a wave of relief knowing it was just a scam.
“It’s just ten thousand, no need to argue over it.”
Jaxon tenderly ruffled Ursula’s hair, “Right, you were scammed. Next time, just ignore these random calls.”
It was clear that both Jaxon and Cloudia believed Ursula’s story.
Yorick, on the other hand, remained a mystery.
Feeling uneasy, Ursula turned to him, “Rick, what’s wrong?”
His gaze was deep and unsettling. For a moment, Ursula couldn’t tell if he believed her or not.
Yorick shook his head, “Nothing, I’ve got some work to do. I’ll head out first. Call me if you need anything.”
“Okay.”
Ursula nodded, not daring to say more, especially not in front of Yorick. Any slip-up now could be disastrous.
…
Outside the hospital room.
Stella heard Yorick preparing to leave and decided not to eavesdrop any longer. She quickly slipped away with Idris in tow.
However, upon exiting the room, Yorick still caught sight of her. He quickly caught up to them.
As the three entered the elevator, Yorick’s mood darkened seeing Idris by Stella’s side.
Switching men like clothes!
This damned woman…
“Let go!”
He had thought it was all a tantrum, that many of her threats were just talk.
At the sight of Stella, he stepped up respectfully, “Miss.”
This was as direct a response as Yorick could get. With the lawyer present, there was no denying it.
Stella retorted, “Hasn’t today’s cold shower woken you up yet?”
Still asking why. Did she owe him any explanation?
Yorick was speechless. Mention of the cold shower darkened his expression further.
This damned woman’s temper! How could any man stand her?
Yorick was about to retort when a force loomed onto his wrist. Idris grabbed it, exerting pressure that threatened to crush it.
“Mr. Quarry, let go.”
Yorick glared furiously at him.
Stella taunted, “What? Looking for a fight?”
Yorick’s anger intensified at her tone, but he eventually released Stella’s wrist.
She walked away with Idris, leaving Yorick to watch their departing figures. Her resolve was clear, leaving no room for doubt or return.
Suddenly, it was as if a void had opened up in Yorick’s heart!
Chapter 132
Stella was speaking to Idris, “There’s ten grand missing from Ursula’s account, track where that money went.”
The Larkins all bought into Ursula’s story.
Scammed? Stella wasn’t buying it, not for a second.
Idris nodded, “Right on it.”
And of course, they had to dig deeper!
…
That evening, Stella got back to Wave Residence. Ronald wasn’t home yet; Idris had dropped her off before rushing off to his next errand. The dining table was laid out with her favorite dishes from back in Ferrowland.
But midway through the meal, Ronald called. Not waiting for the butler, Stella answered the phone herself.
“Stop worrying, I’ve barely had one bowl!”
It was as if she was a child, with him fretting over how much she ate.
Did Ronald ever tire of worrying?
She hoped he wouldn’t start thinking she was immature, too dependent on him to fret over. That was one label she refused to carry.
Ronald asked, “Being this good?”
His gentle tone carried a pampering affection only meant for Stella.
Stella retorted, “When I’m full, I’ll stop eating, okay? Stop fussing over me.”
“It’s hard not to worry about you.”
Stella simply fell silent!
Fine, if he insisted on worrying, let him worry then.
“When are you coming home? Have you been drinking?” Stella’s tone softened noticeably.
Ronald replied, “I’ll be back in about two hours, had a bit to drink. Don’t wait up, go to sleep.”
After hanging up, Stella returned to the dining room, determined to eat her fill despite Ronald’s reminder. The butler couldn’t help but feel impressed seeing her go for another two bowls.
Just as she finished her meal and stepped out into the garden to walk it off, Yorick’s call came through.
On the phone, Stella couldn’t hide her annoyance with Yorick, clearly fed up with his antics.
Stella asked, “What for?”
Stella was speechless.
Yorick’s urgency surely meant Ursula had stirred the pot at the hospital again.
Typical! Yorick always lost it when it came to Ursula.
“He won’t sell, give it up.”
Yorick exploded, “Tell me who the owner is! I’ve heard rumors, the guy’s sixty-six, Stella, are you really with some old fossil?”
Stella had been linked to different men these past few days. Now, who really owned Wave Residence was anyone’s guess for Yorick. Coupled with Ursula’s situation, he barely had time to muse over; his mind was a mess!
Hearing the “Sixty-six”, Stella thought, Yorick wasn’t just a dimwit; his whole being was encapsulated in confusion!
“Would it kill you if I wanted to inherit his fortune? If I’m not allowed to be with an old man, then with you? Do you think I’d prefer your family’s drama? That old man’s living the dream – no parents, no nosy aunts or uncles. What a blissful life.”
Yorick was speechless.
Heart attack, imminent!
Chapter 133
Stella’s got a mouth on her that was a bit too sharp for her own good. She had Yorick at a loss for words over the phone.
That was just how she was. You threw one at her, she’d got ten coming right back at you.
Stella, relentless, went for another jab, “You really should see a doctor, with your brain deteriorating like that, it’s just tragic.”
Without waiting for a response from Yorick on the other end, Stella hung up directly.
Meanwhile, Yorick was on his way to the hospital. Hearing Stella say his brain was all destroyed, he was fuming, ready to knock someone out!
Just then, Cloudia called to say Ursula sneaked out of the hospital.
Yorick rubbed his throbbing temples, his headache unbearable.
At this moment, Ursula shouldn’t be leaving the hospital at all, and yet she sneaked out as if she’d given up on life itself.
“Orion.”
“Yes, sir.”
“Do you think Stella…”
What about her?
At the mention of Stella now, Yorick’s mind was a complete mess. The faces of those men kept flashing through his mind.
Which one was her steady guy? Finley, or that man…the one who visited her today?
It was all mixed up, everything in chaos. Those men appeared around Stella out of nowhere, sending Yorick’s thoughts into disarray.
…
They arrive at the hospital quickly.
As soon as Yorick entered the room, he saw Cloudia, crying and gasping for breath.
Ursula uttered, “I’m sorry, Mom. I didn’t mean to worry you.”
When they found Ursula, she was breathlessly sitting on the edge of a planter.
But she hadn’t anticipated her body would fail her like this.
Ursula’s current condition was breaking Cloudia’s heart the most.
Cloudia left, leaving Yorick and Ursula alone.
Ursula looked at Yorick with guilt-filled eyes, “I’m sorry for worrying you.”
Yorick pulled up a chair and sat down in front of the hospital bed, sighing, “Why did you run off? Do you realize how worried your mom and everyone are about you?”
Ursula looked down, tears dropping.
“I just couldn’t stand the smell anymore, Rick. You don’t understand how desperate the scent of this disinfectant makes me feel.
From the moment I stepped into this hospital, it’s like I’ve been cut off from the outside world. I’m scared, scared I’ll never feel the sun again. I don’t want to be in here, I don’t want…”
Ursula was really having a tough time. She didn’t want Stella to get off easy, but in reality, she was not having an easy time herself.
As Yorick heard her talk about the smell of the hospital, his brow furrowed, “But that doesn’t mean you should just sneak out.”
Chapter 134
“Are you really going to let me leave the hospital? You won’t, will you?”
“Your condition doesn’t allow it at the moment, and even if we were to consider discharging you, there’s a lot of preparation involved.”
Like ensuring the medical team could keep up, not to mention all the equipment that needed to come along. They needed to be able to check on her whenever necessary, not just leave things to chance.
That was exactly why Yorick had been so keen on buying the Wave Residence. Ursula’s medical team alone consisted of nearly twenty people! The Wave Residence was spacious enough to accommodate everyone comfortably, including a dedicated room for all the medical equipment.
“Will I ever get the chance to leave the hospital? Or am I going to die here?”
“Shut up!”
At the mention of dying, Yorick’s voice dropped to a stern whisper.
Ursula fell silent. Tears welled up in her eyes as she looked at Yorick, who grew even more concerned at her appearance.
He sighed, gently running his fingers through her soft hair, only to find a couple of strands coming away in his hand.
Seeing the strands of hair in Yorick’s palm, Ursula trembled uncontrollably, “Rick, I…”
Yorick comforted, “Don’t worry, your hair will grow back once you’re better.”
“Will it really grow back?”
Would it? To Ursula, hair was a symbol of life itself. Losing it to illness felt like a harbinger of life’s end.
“I’m really scared. I want to leave the hospital. I don’t want to stay here.”
Her voice was desperate, masking the true reasons for her desire to leave.
Seeing Ursula’s despair, Yorick sighed and took her in his arms.
“Okay, you’ll leave the hospital soon.”
“Rick…”
Hearing his words made Ursula smile, “Really?”
At that moment, Yorick’s voice was firm, offering Ursula some comfort. She truly didn’t want to stay in the hospital any longer, where the smell of disinfectant only added to her endless misery and dread.
Meanwhile, at Stella’s.
“Why are you looking at me like that?”
Stella was left speechless.
When did he get back? He’d heard everything not meant for his ears.
“Well…you know, Yorick mentioned that the owner of Wave Residence was some sixty-six-year-old guy! I was just trying to rattle him, that’s all.”
Better clear things up quickly. Especially in front of Ronald. Misunderstandings could lead to her own misery. Stella didn’t want that!
Ronald, hearing her awkward explanation, laughed and pulled her close, his warm fingers caressing her chin.
“Yorick’s lot hasn’t figured out who owns Wave Residence yet?”
Stella replied, “Clearly not up to the mark!”
With Ronald, she made sure to clarify everything. She didn’t have the same patience with Yorick, who always seemed so self-assured, always threatening to block her cards, and her paths, even demanding she shut down her studio.
With all their resources, they should find out things on their own! She hadn’t expected Yorick’s investigation to end up like this.
Chapter 135
Anyway, lately, Stella felt like it wasn’t just Yorick whose mind was destroyed, but everyone around him too, utterly useless.
And that old man of sixty-six he talked about, she couldn’t fathom how they even got their information.
“You said you wouldn’t be back for another two hours, how come you’re back already?”
Over the phone, he had even told her to hit the sack early.
Ronald replied, “Are you letting yourself go these nights?”
Stella was like, “??”
“All grown up and you’re not worried about packing on the pounds, eating like there’s no tomorrow.”
Truth be told, Ronald rushed back because he was worried she’d eat herself into an issue.
Stella’s lips twitched, “You came back just for that?”
“What else? Isn’t that reason enough?”
Stella was left speechless.
Enough, more than enough!!
“Well, that’s because I haven’t been eating well before,” Stella murmured softly.
Ronald said, “Hmm?”
“N-Nothing.”
She quickly buried her head in his chest, daring not to speak further.
Yet, Ronald had heard her, tenderly stroking her slender back. He was well aware she hadn’t been eating properly these years.
Otherwise, she wouldn’t be binge eating these past few days, craving everything under the sun.
“Ronald.”
“Hmm?”
“When are we heading back to Ferrowland?”
She found Portis City insufferable; she didn’t like it here.
Ronald answered, “Still got some loose ends to tie up. If they’re bothering you that much, I’ll have Idris deal with them.”
His precious girl, grown under his care, bullied by them, hmph…
In the following days, Stella busied herself in the studio while Cloudia dodged lawyers left and right.
But Idris had some leads on tracking down Ursula’s mysterious ten grand.
It was from Ursula, on a new number.
What did her discharge have to do with her?
So, they contacted her, and she blocked, rinse and repeat.
Today was different from the previous days. Ursula added, “I’ll be moving into Wave Residence straight after. I heard from Rick you like watching the sunrise too.”
Stella chuckled, seeing right through the facade. For once, she didn’t keep her silence like before.
She quickly typed, “Wave Residence, let’s see if you can actually move in.”
Boasting here, only to end up a joke.
Ursula typed back, “Rick promised me personally, that there will be no changes to the plan.”
Her assurance was palpable, truly trusting in Yorick.
Stella snorted, “Then I wish you success!”
After sending it, she blocked the number.
…
Downstairs.
Ronald was already at the dining table, instructing the butler, “Tell the chef to prepare less, no need for such large portions.”
“It’s good that Ms. Quinn has an appetite, some ladies starve themselves to maintain their figure.”
“Yes, but then when the weight arises, she’d overexert herself trying to work it off, it’s unhealthy.”
Chapter 136
The butler nodded, “Yes.”
It was true, that girls did love to look their best, and sometimes, they even took it to extremes.
Yvonne used to be obsessed with looking good, to the point where she once starved herself until she fainted and ended up in the hospital.
After that incident, Ronald especially prohibited them from binge eating.
Sitting across from him, Stella asked innocently, “Are you saying I eat too much now, Ronald?”
Ronald replied, “Yes!”
Stella was speechless. Was he worried they’d go broke from her eating habits?
Well, he was just looking out for her, afraid she’d end up like Yvonne, starving herself in the hospital just to lose weight.
Stella took a sip of her oatmeal, “When did you get back last night?”
“After 2 AM.”
“That late? Did you come into my room?”
At her question, Ronald’s expression changed, a fleeting look of evasion passing through his eyes.
He flicked a profound glance at her, “Why do you ask?”
“Just wondering,” Stella shrugged, dismissing her earlier feeling of being enveloped and hugged by a chilling presence in her sleep as a dream. She intended to struggle, but the entire body seemed to be pinned firmly, making her unable to break free.
It must be a dream then.
After breakfast, Stella left, and Ronald headed to his study for a video conference. By the time he emerged, it was past ten.
Idris approached, “Sir.”
“Yes?”
“Mr. Quarry has been trying to meet with you, and so has Mr. Patel.”
Both Yorick and Jeremy were eager for a partnership with Ronald, though Jeremy had at least met him once, while the other hadn’t.
Despite their refusal to consider Yorick’s proposal, he obviously wasn’t giving up.
“Ursula has been causing a fuss about being discharged, and Mr. Quarry is still investigating the owner behind Wave Residence. Shall we just tell him, to make him give up?”
Even if that woman died now, it would be worth it for him.
Idris added, “He’s already known Ms. Quinn lives here and has been asking who the owner is.”
Speaking of Yorick’s inquiries about Stella, Ronald remembered the absurd claim that the owner was sixty-six years old.
“Just ignore him.”
…
Upon arriving at her studio, Tabitha rushed over, uttering in a low voice, “Boss, Mr. Patel is here.”
Stella raised an eyebrow, “Jeremy?”
“Yeah, he’s been here since we opened. I tried calling you, but you didn’t answer.”
“My phone was on silent.”
These days, Yorick had been bombarding her with calls asking about Wave Residence, obviously eager for Ursula to move in for her recuperation.
If her own house was being used for Ursula’s recovery, she’d just let Ursula wait it out.
Entering her office, Stella saw Jeremy sitting on the couch, immediately standing up as she walked in. He was tall, lean, and carried an air of elegance.
Glancing at the ashtray on the coffee table, she noted with approval that there were no cigarette butts.
Jeremy approached her, all smiles and enthusiasm, grabbing her arm, “It’s like having issues within our own people. Who would’ve thought you were Mr. Quinn’s sister?”
Stella glanced at Jeremy at his words. His visit today meant he’d figured out her connection with Ronald.
Chapter 137
He never saw it coming that Stella was actually Ronald’s adopted sister.
As Jeremy’s gaze, filled with laughter, met hers, Stella’s mind wavered for a moment. Instinctively, she tried to wriggle her arm out of the man’s grasp. However, Jeremy handed her a box, saying, “A peace offering.”
A gift?
Eyeing the red velvet box Jeremy handed over, she recognized the brand immediately. Stella wanted nothing to do with it. This expensive piece of jewelry was clearly a bribe.
“What’s the meaning of this, Mr. Patel?”
“Sirena was out of line before, and I’m here to apologize on her behalf. I’ve confined her now; she has no way to contact the outside world. You can rest assured, she won’t be bothering you anymore.”
Stella was speechless. Was that really the issue here?
Jeremy shoved the velvet box into her hands, “Could you put in a good word for me with your brother? This partnership is really important to us.”
These past few days, Jeremy nearly had Sirena on her deathbed.
Before Ronald arrived in Portis City, they had communicated smoothly over the phone. However, Sirena had stirred up trouble. And Jeremy hadn’t expected Stella’s connection to Ronald that Ronald had personally taken her in and raised her. How could they mistreat her like this?
Considering what happened to the Schultz family in Ferrowland, he was well aware of the consequences. Stella was not someone to be trifled with.
And Sirena…
Just thinking about Sirena made Jeremy wish he could end her himself, not to mention Yorick and the Larkin family! Jeremy couldn’t bear to think about their fate.
These past few days, just finding out how protective Ronald was of his sister had him sweating bullets for them.
Stella pushed the box back into Jeremy’s hands, “If I relay your message, you’re really done for.”
Jeremy’s eyelids twitched fiercely, “I…”
Jeremy remained silent.
“But our falling out was indeed because of you, during my grandfather’s birthday banquet.”
Stella uttered, “If that’s how Mr. Patel sees it, then I have nothing more to say.”
What did she mean by having nothing more to say? If Stella had nothing to say, then his partnership with Ronald was indeed over.
Stella sighed, “I’ll make a call for you, then.”
Jeremy and Sirena were on completely different levels. Stella wasn’t sure if Ronald’s anger included her, but given Jeremy’s insistence today, he wouldn’t let it go without trying.
So, in front of Jeremy, Stella dialed Ronald’s number.
The call connected quickly, “Star.”
“Ronald, what do you think of Jeremy?” Stella got straight to the point.
Hearing this, Jeremy’s brow twitched. This was not what he had in mind – he had expected some good words for him, not gauging his character with Ronald.
But let it be. He believed his character was beyond reproach.
Yet, as Stella posed this question to Ronald, Jeremy couldn’t help but feel anxious.
Chapter 138
The speakerphone was on. Jeremy could clearly hear the affection in the man’s voice as he spoke to Stella.
“Jeremy? Why do you ask about him?”
Stella replied, “Just wondering, do you think he’s a good guy?”
There was a moment of silence on the other end.
When Ronald spoke again, his tone had notably shifted.
With a cold voice, he asked, “Star, do you like him?”
Both Stella and Jeremy were like, “…”
Wait…
She was just inquiring about Jeremy’s character, and suddenly Ronald escalated it to liking? And what was with his displeasure in his tone?
Stella’s lips twitched, “No, I was just asking.”
“Those people like him can’t manage their own family affairs; they’re not trustworthy. Drop whatever you’re thinking.”
His tone had turned colder.
Stella said, “I really don’t like him like that.”
“I’ll pick you up for lunch, be goodbye now.”
Ronald hung up before Stella could say another word.
Jeremy, left without a clear answer, was puzzled. Why did he have this looming sense of an impending storm?
Stella looked at him, “Mr. Patel, you heard that? In my brother’s eyes, you’re not at all trustworthy.”
“It’s all because of you.”
“Not because of me, but because of Sirena. Through Sirena, my brother has seen a lot.”
Jeremy was even more anxious, “Our business has nothing to do with Sirena. She has no connection to the company.”
So, a partnership would be challenging. Jeremy felt like he was about to explode.
Sirena was driving him insane.
But that was understandable. People naturally confided in those who treated them well.
She was raised in the Quinn family. The Quinn family, a power that walked in the shadows of Ferrowland’s underworld.
Jeremy asked, “The Quinn family… are they like the Larkins too?”
“What?”
Jeremy remarked, “You’re a foster child in the Quinn family. They seem to treat you well, but how do they treat their own daughter?”
As soon as he said this, Stella’s expression darkened.
“You’re comparing them to the Larkins?”
The Larkins weren’t even in the same league. How could such people, unable to see the basic facts, be compared to the Quinn family?
The Larkins might have had a small fortune, but their pettiness knew no bounds! When Ursula played her games, the Larkins took her side, even to the detriment of their own daughter.
The Quinns, whether by blood or not, were united. The interests and safety of the family were always their top priority.
Seeing Stella’s mood turn, Jeremy felt a twinge in his chest, “My apologies.”
Chapter 139
Damn it, what was he doing questioning the Quinns here? Hadn’t he figured out why Stella left the Quinns years ago?!
It was because of the Schultzes, threatening Stella with Mrs. Quinn and Ronald. She left to buy Ronald some breathing room, a far cry from Ursula, that vulture eyeing the Larkin fortune.
The Quinns had another daughter, tight with Stella since they were kids, practically inseparable.
Bottom line, Stella was Ronald’s treasure, and Yvonne’s cherished sister. And the Quinns, they were Stella’s to protect with her life.
“My fault, don’t be mad,” Jeremy felt his head aching.
Stella huffed, “Mr. Patel, instead of wasting time here, you should be getting my brother to trust you. All the schemes in the world and you choose to look for connections?”
Jeremy scratched his head, “But from what I’ve gathered, your brother…he cares about you a lot.”
“You went digging into our family?”
Jeremy remained silent. Great, in his panic, he’d spilled the beans.
“Not at all, I was just trying to figure things out, you know, working with your brother is crucial.”
“Our family don’t do backdoor.”
There it was again, “our family”, making it crystal clear to Jeremy the chasm between the Quinns and the Larkins.
Portis City was buzzing these days. The Larkins and Yorick plotting to shut down Stella’s studio, Jeremy was well aware.
He’d been waiting for their comeuppance, especially Yorick’s.
“Yorick wants to work with your brother too,” Jeremy mentioned.
Upon hearing it, Stella raised an eyebrow at him.
Jeremy went on, “No offense, just saying, the Quinn family’s mines, we and the Quarrys are all eyeing them.”
“You won’t get them,” Stella cut in.
Tough to hear, but factual.
What Ronald held, he could keep with a word; no one else stood a chance.
“But if your brother worked with Yorick, wouldn’t that irk you?”
Stella replied, “Even if they did, it wouldn’t bother me.”
Stella was sure of it!
Now, with Ronald avoiding him, Jeremy was beside himself.
Jeremy repeated, “The contract?”
“Really?”
“Why would I lie?”
Wait…
Stella’s hint made Jeremy recall a specific clause!
The Patel Group’s contracts were standard, and unchangeable. Was it that clause, meant to bind the other party, that Ronald objected to?
Realizing this, Jeremy stood up, “Ah, what a blunder.”
“Thanks, I’ll have it sorted immediately…and, uh…”
He glanced at Stella and then added, “Yorick and Ursula’s past isn’t coincidental. Ursula once saved Yorick’s life. This savior-to-lover plot, best stay out of it, it’s a no-entry zone!”
As a token of gratitude for Stella’s insight, Jeremy shared Yorick’s past with her.
Chapter 140
Although Stella was putting up a tough front against Yorick, spreading the word about calling off their engagement herself, who could truly understand the heart of a girl like her?
Anyway, Jeremy warned Stella not to waste her time on Yorick. A man like that, even if you got what you wished for and ended up together, it was a life that could hardly be happy ever after.
Stella’s face changed a bit; she didn’t expect there to be such an issue between Yorick and Ursula.
“Thanks.”
Jeremy left the velvet box behind, “I’m off, keep the gift.”
It was meant for her after all; there was no taking it back. Jeremy wasn’t one to take back what he had given!
…
Exiting Stella’s office, Jeremy bumped into Yorick, who was on his way to see her.
Yorick’s expression was sour. Seeing Jeremy coming out of Stella’s office made him buzz with irritation!
A certain thought naturally popped into his mind.
As they passed each other, Yorick grabbed Jeremy’s wrist abruptly, “What are you doing here?”
In his view, Stella and Jeremy had no connection.
So, Jeremy visiting Stella now, what could it be about!?
Jeremy looked at Yorick with a smile, “What do you think I’m here for?”
Seeing Yorick’s face, Jeremy knew he must’ve misunderstood.
Normally, Jeremy would clarify things a bit, but not for Yorick! He hated how Yorick would always think so lowly of Stella. He looked forward to Ronald tearing Yorick apart.
Jeremy’s nonchalance infuriated Yorick even further.
But before he could act, Jeremy spoke first, “You sure you want to fight with that unrecovered hand and your leg? Don’t blame me if you can’t walk afterward.”
That comment only fueled Yorick’s rage!
His hand was fractured, needing a cast for over a month as the doctor said. Though the leg injury wasn’t severe, it still hurt, making him limp a bit.
Jeremy replied, “None of your freaking business! She told the whole of Portis City she’s done with you, can’t I pursue her?”
Jeremy shook him off and didn’t linger. After all, this was Stella’s territory, and causing a scene here could lead to misunderstandings.
From what he gathered from Stella, Ronald’s visit to Portis City meant the Quarry family was out of the game.
Dealing with Ronald was the priority, Yorick was just a waste of time.
Yorick stood there, fuming and dizzy with anger.
…
Tabitha tried to stop Yorick. But Yorick wasn’t someone she could just stop.
Stella said no visitors, but Tabitha couldn’t hold him back, so angry she thought about calling the police.
The office door was slammed open against the wall.
Inside, Stella had just opened the velvet box Jeremy left behind.
A large, sparkling diamond ring caught her eye, and before she could think anything of it, Yorick charged in like a storm.
When Yorick saw the ring, he froze on the spot!
“Is this from Jeremy?”
So, Jeremy had come to propose to her?
