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.

Behind him, Caius caught the sharp glint in Ronald's eyes. He quickly looked away.

The man emanated an aura so commanding, one could hardly bear to look directly at him. Was this the man who had raised Stella like his own?

Caius couldn't help but feel a surge of dread. With such a figure in her corner, the Larkin family and Yorick had truly stirred a hornet's nest, oblivious to the danger they courted.

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

Jeremy was momentarily lost for words, as was Caius. The chill in Ronald's tone made their hearts skip a beat.
