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.

"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."
