Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath

Chapter 204

"I don't care how you do it, but I want Stella out of Portis City. Make her leave."

Stella was left speechless. Was that what they wanted?

It dawned on her that Ursula's antics were all about getting her out of Portis City.

There was more to her leaving Portis City than met the eye.

Business had been hectic these past few days, and pulling an all-nighter at the office had only added to his frustration. Just hearing Stella's name made him irritable.
