Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath

Chapter 137

He never saw it coming that Stella was actually Ronald's adopted sister.

As Jeremy's gaze, filled with laughter, met hers, Stella's mind wavered for a moment. Instinctively, she tried to wriggle her arm out of the man's grasp. However, Jeremy handed her a box, saying, "A peace offering." A gift?

Eyeing the red velvet box Jeremy handed over, she recognized the brand immediately. Stella wanted nothing to do with it. This expensive piece of jewelry was clearly a bribe.

"What's the meaning of this, Mr. Patel?"

"Sirena was out of line before, and I'm here to apologize on her behalf. I've confined her now; she has no way to contact the outside world. You can rest assured, she won't be bothering you anymore." Stella was speechless. Was that really the issue here?

Jeremy shoved the velvet box into her hands, "Could you put in a good word for me with your brother? This partnership is really important to us."

These past few days, Jeremy nearly had Sirena on her deathbed.

Before Ronald arrived in Portis City, they had communicated smoothly over the phone. However, Sirena had stirred up trouble. And Jeremy hadn't expected Stella's connection to Ronald that Ronald had personally taken her in and raised her. How could they mistreat her like this?
