Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath

At the hospital, Yorick was fuming, his face a shade of thunder, while iciness seemed to radiate off him. He was on Susanna's phone, repeatedly dialing Stella's number. Stella, it seemed, would block anyone's calls- except Susanna's.

Infuriated, Susanna aimed a kick at Yorick. "Damn it, Yorick, enough is enough. Give me back my phone."

She'd always followed her mom's advice to avoid crossing anyone from the Quarry family, but now, she was at her breaking point.

What was this, a hold-up?

Yorick dodged, and Susanna's toe brushed his shin, leaving a stinging pain.

"You woman..." Yorick gritted his teeth.

No wonder she was friends with Stella; they were clearly cut from the same cloth.

Susanna was livid. "Yorick, cut it out. She just heard your voice on my phone. Do you really think she'd pick up the call again?" Yorick was silent. Hearing this, his aura instantly cooled.

Susanna seized the opportunity to snatch her phone back. "You had it coming. Your judgment of people is unbelievably off."

In the circle of high society, everyone knew Ursula was trouble, a wolf in sheep's clothing. Yet Yorick insisted she was an angel.

Ridiculous.
