Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath

Chapter 89

Just grabbing a bite at the dining room wasn't exactly aiming to step into Stella's shoes, but to think how he had reacted. "The Larkins got in touch with me, saying they needed my help to treat Ursula. Offered a pretty penny for the house call."

Finley was already in the loop; Stella was the Larkins' flesh and blood. After being reunited with her biological parents, her life over these two years should have made them feel more reassured. Turned out, digging a little deeper revealed the Larkins were far from good. Even if fostering and biological ties couldn't mesh well, surely the biological connection shouldn't be the one to sever? But the Larkins? Oh, they were something else.

Stella hadn't spent a day with the Larkins in the past two years. Just goes to show, bringing her back didn't mean they treated her any better.

"Just handle it as Star would want. And make sure you lay it out clear for them."

Finley's eyebrows twitched, "You know how your sister is. Laying it out 'clear' might just drive those folks to despair."

Better to say he was not available for house calls than to say it was all up to Stella. After all, Stella's wishes were far harsher than his refusal to show!

A cold smile played on Ronald's lips, "They've been pushing Star around these past years. Time they learned that pride comes before a fall." Finley was at loss for words.

Pride came before a fall? Hearing that from Ronald was something else.

Who else in Ferrowland could outmatch Ronald's bravado? He claimed second place, and no one dared claim first!

"Okay, got it."

He want them in despair, huh?

No problem!
