Chapter 31

Stella was itching to make an escape too!

She thought she had made herself abundantly clear to Ronald about the debacle about Yorick. But now, sensing the increasingly dangerous aura emanating from Ronald, she realized her explanation hadn't been clear enough. Stepping forward, she shot Yorick a warning glance, "What are you doing here? Get lost now!"

Yorick sneered, "Why am I here? Stella, had I not shown up, who would find out what kind of person you are?"

His tone escalated with every word, culminating in a shout filled with rage.

"You spread rumors about Ursula and me, just to cover up your own dirty secrets, didn't you? Stella, you're a slut!"

The moment his words fell, a thunderous thump resonated through the air.

It was Ronald. His fist, hard as iron, landed squarely on Yorick's face, instantly tensing up the atmosphere.

Yorick was convinced Ronald was nothing but a casual man, and now this brute dared to strike him, fueling his rage even further.

Before Stella could react, the two were locked in a scuffle.
