Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath

Chapter 76

"They've mentioned her name. It can't be mistaken."

Cloudia was at a loss for words.

Blaise pressed on, "What did she demand from you?"

"She wants to cut ties with us all. How could I agree to that?"

Reflecting on the last call from Stella, Cloudia had thought it was just an empty threat. But now it seemed all too real.

A young woman raking in over seven hundred thousand a year surely had some powerful backing. But her approach... The thought alone was a stab to Cloudia's heart. How could she bear the thought of severing ties with her own daughter?

As Blaise heard Stella's demand, his breath caught in his throat.

"Did she really say that?"

"What else could it be? What else could she possibly ask for that I couldn't give her?"

Since things had escalated into this degree, Cloudia had hoped for any other demand from Stella - jewelry, a house, money, anything. If she just had these requirements, Cloudia would have done anything, especially if it meant getting Tegan and Finley on board to treat Ursula.

But Stella wanted none of that; she wanted to cut ties.
