Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath

Chapter 94

Talking about her dad, she just couldn't muster any feelings. It was probably just a matter of getting used to it, so it didn't really matter to her if he was around or not. "Alright, let's drop the gloomy topics, shall we? Let's talk about Yorick and the Larkin family instead."

Stella said, "That's just another can of worms."

"I gotta warn you, though, Jaxon is a real piece of work. And Yorick, he's totally lost it over Ursula. They're definitely going to try and sabotage your studio." Susanna wasn't too worried about the overt attempts; after all, Stella had a brother watching her back. But the underhanded schemes? Those were a different story.

And then there was Ursula, the angelic bitch with a knack for manipulation as well as other foul moves.

Stella knew exactly what Susanna meant, "Don't worry, I'm prepared for whatever they throw my way."
