Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath

Chapter 41

When the car came to a halt, Stella realized that Ronald had brought her to a banquet. She recognized the place. It was hosted by the prestigious Patel family of Portis City.

Over the past few years, the Patel family's patriarch, Beckett Patel's birthday celebration had become an event the Larkin family never missed. If she remembered correctly, this year marked the grand old age of eighty for the patriarch. The opulence of this year's event seemed to eclipse those of previous years. Luxury cars filled the parking lot, and the lights shone as bright as day.

Idris opened the car door with reverence, "Mr. Quinn, Mr. Patel is awaiting your arrival."

Ronald nodded, glancing at Stella aside, "Hungry?"

As Stella heard this, she took a glimpse at her phone, noting the time, "A bit, yeah."

She was always punctual when it came to meals. It was definitely dinner time.

Ronald suggested, "If you're hungry, there's food at the banquet. I'll only need about half an hour with Mr. Patel."

Stella was momentarily speechless, thinking they were here to celebrate instead of discussing business.

Observing the guests making their way inside, men in suits and women in various gowns, Stella looked down at her casual blazer and white sneakers, "Should I be going in like this?"

Ronald asked, "Any problem?"

Stella hesitated, "No...problem?"
