Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath

Chapter 264

"Ronald, you're a real beast, you know that? That girl- she's the one you've raised. You've been siblings for twenty years..."

With a "thud," something struck Finley square on the forehead, cutting him off mid-sentence.

Finley stammered, "I mean, this... What I'm trying to say is...

You even hurt her? I was wondering why nobody answered the doorbell last night. You mean you were in that kind of situation. Do you have any idea how dangerous that could be?"

If things were as they seemed, it was clear Stella and Yorick had never gone that far.

After all, Stella was picky; she'd never settle for a man who had his heart set on someone else. During the two years Stella and Yorick had been engaged, let's just say they probably hadn't even held hands. But Ronald...

Finley hissed as the realization hit him. "So, all these years, you've been raising her for yourself? No wonder you were always so nice to that girl. Wherever you went, she was there. And when Yvonne snatched her away, you were ready to tear her apart. She wasn't just like a sister to you, she was more like your little wife, wasn't she?"

It finally dawned on him.

Now it all made sense. Back in Ferrowland, not a single guy was allowed near Stella. All those guys chasing after her, and those looking for a family alliance - none of them stood a chance.

Ronald's little girl, who could possibly take her away from him?

Ronald shot Finley a cold look. "Say one more word, and I'll show you my skills with a surgical needle."

Finley thought, "Here we go again with the threats."
