Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath

Chapter 177

When Idris led Jeremy to the private room, they found Ronald, the sole occupant, lounging on the porch.

Upon laying eyes on Ronald, Jeremy stepped forward with a respectful nod. "Mr. Quinn."

Ronald set his cup of coffee aside, fixing Jeremy with a frosty gaze that sent a chill down his spine.

Ronald's icy stare fixed on Jeremy. "You expect Stella to compensate you?"
