Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath

Chapter 20

Imogen tried to catch Stella's attention for one more plea.

However, Stella was resolute, "Imogen, I'm sorry, but Yorick isn't the man I can entrust my life to."

Imogen was at a loss for words.

Stella continued, "I wasn't asking for his undivided attention, but he couldn't even offer me the basic respect I deserve."

Imogen muttered, "It..."

Indeed, Yorick had not shown Stella the respect she deserved. Even as his mother, Imogen couldn't justify her son's behavior on this matter.

"But what will you do? Without Yorick, your days in the Larkin family will be even harder," Imogen warned Stella, reminding her of her precarious position in the Larkin family. Despite their mutual disdain for Ursula, it was undeniable that she held a significant place within the Larkin family.

Stella remained silent, her gaze lowered.

Imogen went on, "Don't rush to give me an answer. I'll speak to Yorick about this, and we'll get Ursula out as soon as possible."

How irritating! The very thought of Ursula bewitching Yorick to such an extent infuriated Imogen. The idea of Stella and Yorick breaking up, allowing Yorick to be even more reckless with Ursula, was something Imogen couldn't stay calm about.

"The Larkins are all siding with Ursula. If you keep clashing with Yorick, it's you who will suffer," Imogen cautioned, urging Stella to endure.
