Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath

Chapter 229

Cloudia hurried to catch up with Yorick's brisk pace.

Upon seeing Cloudia, Yorick was somewhat taken aback. "Cloudia, what are you doing here?"

Cloudia took a moment to catch her breath.

"Rick, let me ask you, did you come here because of Stella?"

Yorick froze, caught off guard.

Orion stayed silent, equally taken aback.

The bluntness of Cloudia's question unsettled Yorick for reasons he couldn't quite pin down, especially the mention of Stella.

If he remembered correctly, Cloudia had never spoken Ursula's name with such disdain. But Stella was her biological daughter.

For the first time, Yorick noticed the difference in how Cloudia treated Stella and Ursula.

It suddenly dawned on him why Stella had always been so cold towards the Larkins.

Orion, too, was surprised. He hadn't expected Cloudia to raise such a direct question about her own daughter. After all, hadn't the Larkins practically handed Stella off to Yorick two years ago? What was this change of attitude now? Yorick narrowed his eyes. "Did Ursula send you?"
