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?
