Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath

Chapter 43

Jaxon blamed, "Even if you wanted to confront Yorick, showing up uninvited to the Patels' bash is not the way to go." Truth be told, the absence of an invitation for Stella was at Jaxon's insistence.

Lately, she'd been causing a scene over Ursula's ordeal, and he didn't want her showing up at these high-profile events.

The mere mention of "to confront Yorick" drew a laugh from Stella, "Why on earth would I want to find him?"

"If you're not here for Yorick, then what's your purpose? And now you're panicking because Yorick has made it clear at the hospital today that he won't marry you?"

In Jaxon's eyes, Stella had simply taken her antics too far this time.

Who was Yorick? A minor tantrum might have been overlooked, but the chaos she'd caused in the last few days was too much. Publicly calling off their wedding, sending Tegan abroad - it was all too dramatic for Yorick to tolerate.

"I'll have you know, whatever was between you and Yorick is officially over. You've dug your own grave, so don't hold out any hope. Even our good words won't sway him now."
