Chapter 223

Yorick clenched his fists, grinding his teeth as he glared at Ronald.

With a swift motion, he stood up, his anger palpable. "What are you doing here?" he demanded, the thought of Stella also being present fueling his fury. Was Stella really that close to this man now?

"I'm telling you, forget about the Lugar family's mines," Yorick spat through clenched teeth.

And now Ronald was adding to his troubles, all thanks to Stella? Did Stella leak information about the Quarry Group's potential deal with the Lugar family to him?
