Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath

Chapter 22

Stella's attitude unyielding, her words came out sharp as a knife.

Yorick took a couple of agitated drags of his cigarette.

"Well, what do you suggest we do then?"

As far as he was concerned, he had given her everything she could possibly want. All he wanted now was for Tegan to come back.

Stella said, "As for the wedding, don't even start with me. It's totally over between us."

"You..."

Totally over?

What made her think she could declare it all over just like that?

Stella kept on, "And forget about Tegan. If you're so capable, go and get her back yourself to treat Ursula. With all your money and connections, do you really need to go through me?" Her words were dripping with sarcasm.

Yorick felt a surge of anger at her tone.

As if he hadn't already tried reaching out to Tegan. She had outright refused him. And there was a man behind Tegan making it impossible for Yorick to force her hand! Yorick was visibly frustrated.

Stella asked, "Anything else? If not, drive me to the Orient Nexus Building."

It was hard to catch a cab there, and since he had Orion take her car, it was only fair he drove her.

Yorick uttered, "What are you going to do there? Got an interview? Looking for a backup plan?"

"None of your business!"

The same defiant tone.

Yorick was like, "..."
