Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath

Chapter 81

Stella figured it was high time she got Tabitha to set her up with a dedicated work phone line. The constant badgering from the others was becoming unbearable. Just like now...

Yorick's voice roared through the phone, "You own a studio? How come didn't I know?"

Stella retorted, "And what? I need to report every move to you now?"

Was she not clear enough lately, or had she been too soft before? It seemed like these people felt entitled to question her every move.

This was getting ridiculous.

Yorick pressed, "What else are you hiding from me?"

"Why would I hide anything from you? What's it to you anyway? Geez, Yorick, Is Ursula's illness not serious enough? She's battling triple cancer. Instead of finding a peaceful resting place for her, you're here bothering me. What's your deal?" Yorick went berserk, "Stella!"

Especially at the mention of "resting place", anyone siding with Ursula found it taboo, almost like a malicious curse.

Stella said, "Why are you yelling?"

Yorick threatened, "Just you wait," and hung up.

Stella clicked her tongue at his move. She was curious what Yorick thought he could possibly do to her now.
