Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath

Chapter 219

The weight Ursula held in Yorick's heart was evident to all who knew them. So, why on earth would Yorick hang up on Ursula's call?

A sense of foreboding crept into Cloudia's heart.

"Yes," Ursula confirmed with a nod. "Rick said he was busy and just hung up, claiming he was off to a business meeting."

The way Ursula framed 'business meeting' made it sound like Yorick was hiding something.

Cloudia's face turned an even grimmer upon hearing this.

Just as she was about to call Stella and warn her to steer clear of Yorick for good, she realized her calls wouldn't go through. Ever since their fallout, Stella had cut her off completely, blocking her on all forms of communication. Frustration choked Cloudia!

She was about to find another way to reach her when her phone buzzed with a call from Blaise.

No sooner had she answered than Blaise launched into a tirade.

Now look, you're about to tank the whole company!"
