Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath

Chapter 225

After Max left, storm clouds seemed to gather on Yorick's face, his frustration palpable.

Orion glanced at him, struggling to find the right words. Thane's barely contained anger earlier had made the outcome abundantly clear.

And for good reason!

The ores from the Lugar family were supposed to be their only alternative. Now, that option was off the table. The Quarry Group was in deep water now! Yorick closed his eyes for a moment. "Stella!"

Hearing the grit in Yorick's voice made Orion's heart skip a beat.

Max's implication was clear: Stella was at the center of this mess.

Orion thought it over and decided he should give Yorick a heads-up about the Larkin Group.

"The Larkin Group's been hitting rough waters lately. Word is, it's tied to StarRiver Corp."

Yorick turned to look at Orion, an eyebrow raised.

"StarRiver Corp.?"

"The very one that netted Ms. Quinn a few hundred thousand last year."

Stella's windfall of seven hundred thousand last year, with over six hundred thousand attributed to deals with StarRiver, was the talk of the town.
