Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath

Chapter 139

Damn it, what was he doing questioning the Quinns here? Hadn't he figured out why Stella left the Quinns years ago?!

It was because of the Schultzes, threatening Stella with Mrs. Quinn and Ronald. She left to buy Ronald some breathing room, a far cry from Ursula, that vulture eyeing the Larkin fortune. The Quinns had another daughter, tight with Stella since they were kids, practically inseparable.

Bottom line, Stella was Ronald's treasure, and Yvonne's cherished sister. And the Quinns, they were Stella's to protect with her life.

"My fault, don't be mad," Jeremy felt his head aching.

Stella huffed, "Mr. Patel, instead of wasting time here, you should be getting my brother to trust you. All the schemes in the world and you choose looking for connections?"

Jeremy scratched his head, "But from what I've gathered, your brother...he cares about you a lot."

"You went digging into our family?"

Jeremy remained silent. Great, in his panic, he'd spilled the beans.

"Not at all, I was just trying to figure things out, you know, working with your brother is crucial."

"Our family don't do backdoor."

There it was again, "our family", making it crystal clear to Jeremy the chasm between the Quinns and the Larkins.
