Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath

Chapter 176

For reasons she couldn't fathom, every time Stella crossed paths with someone of the opposite sex, she'd feel inexplicably guilty. It was peculiar, especially since she felt nothing significant for these individuals. What was there to feel guilty about? When Ronald didn't seem upset, she breathed a sigh of relief.

Her phone vibrated.

Stella glanced at the caller ID; it was Imogen calling. After a moment's hesitation, she declined the call and went a step further by blocking the number.

She had distanced herself from the Larkin family, and by extension, she felt no obligation to engage with their circle anymore. Stella had little patience for pointless socializing, especially not with those who flaunted their seniority over her. Shortly after, a landline number tried to reach her. Without a doubt, it was someone from the Quarry family. True to form, she hung up and blocked that number too.

It was only when Tegan's name flashed on the screen that Stella picked up, "Hey Tegan."

"The Larkin family are frantic right now," Tegan shared.

"They can be frantic for all I care. Are they bothering you non-stop?" Stella asked.

"Yeah, they've been relentless. Ursula's been through a string of specialists and experts, and for some reason, they've latched onto me."

Stella said, "Because it's a complicated case. Heard they mentioned there are a few types of cancer."

Tegan responded, "Last I heard from the hospital, it's been getting worse, beyond control."

Stella raised an eyebrow. "So, Ursula's on her way out?"
