Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath

Chapter 6

Susanna watched as Stella's phone lit up, then dimmed, only to light up again in a relentless cycle.

It was non-stop!

Unable to hold back, Susanna suggested, "Why don't you just turn it off?"

By now, blocking numbers was futile; they were all unfamiliar numbers calling. It didn't take a genius to figure out it was Cloudia using the household staff's phones to reach Stella. Taking the advice, Stella promptly shut her phone off.

However, Cloudia's retaliation was swift.

As paying the bill, Stella rebooted her phone for payment, and a message flashed, "Your bank card has been disabled, please select another payment method."

The payment card linked to her phone was one Cloudia insisted on binding for her a few years back, shortly after Stella had returned to the Larkins.

Now, the card was useless.

Seeing Stella's payment fail, Susanna glanced at her phone, "What's that supposed to mean?"

Stella replied, "They've blocked the card."

Susanna's mouth twitched, "Over Ursula? What kind of family does that?"

The news that the Larkins had directly blocked Stella's credit card left Susanna feeling as if she had swallowed a fly. How could they treat their own daughter this way, just for the sake of a foster child? Stella just shrugged it off with a smile, "It's not the first time."

Susanna insisted, "Let me take care of it."

She pulled out her phone from her purse.
