Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath

Chapter 244

Blaise glared at Cloudia, his thoughts racing. "You, you..."

What he wanted to say was that she should cut all ties with Ursula from now on. Stella was clearly upset because of Ursula's actions.

But then his gaze fell on Yorick, who was still standing nearby, and he swallowed his words. He couldn't ignore Yorick's feelings for Ursula. Even though Thane was currently giving the Larkin family the cold shoulder, Yorick might still represent an opportunity for continued collaboration. Cloudia was fuming. "What exactly is her deal?"

"It's you. If only you'd treated Stella better after bringing her back, none of this would have happened."

Cloudia, already on edge, bristled at his rebuke. "How have I not treated her well? Wasn't I kind to her in the beginning? Did she deserve my kindness?"

The tension between them crackled as their argument escalated.

Nearby, Yorick, feeling a chill settle over him, silently turned and walked away.

Orion noticed and hurried to follow him, leaving Blaise and Cloudia alone in their spiraling discord.

"Sir, what should we do now?"

Thane had given Yorick strict orders to handle Mr. Quinn's matter. Yet considering how Ronald had disregarded Yorick, dismissing a significant partnership just because Stella said she was tired and leaving the scene... Yorick stopped in his tracks and closed his eyes. "What can we do? And about Stella..."

As he mentioned Stella, Yorick found himself at a loss for words. Clearly, Stella was the key issue here.
