Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath

Chapter 269

Blaise had no idea how he managed to drag himself back to the office. Looking utterly defeated, his face was a portrait of despair.

The night with Jaxon had been long one, exacerbated by Lola Zeller's relentless pursuit. His world was crumbling.

When Jaxon saw Blaise return, he hurried over. "Dad, what happened? Did Stella clear things up with Mr. Quinn?" Damn her, siding with outsiders against the Larkin Group.

The thought of the trouble Stella had caused for the Larkin Group made Jaxon wish he could tear her apart.

Blaise glanced at Jaxon, his lips moving as if to speak, but his frustration left him speechless.

Jaxon, sensing his father's barely contained rage and the veins on his forehead bulging, pressed on, "Did she really, as Ursula claimed, sell herself to Mr. Quinn out of revenge against us?" This infuriated Jaxon even more.

"If that's true, then I, Jaxon, am done considering her my sister."

A disgrace. To think she'd sell herself out to get back at her own family.

Even if Mr. Quinn held a high position, so what? She had been nothing more than a plaything to him. Once Mr. Quinn grew bored, he would caster her aside. Let's see how she was dealt with then. Jaxon was livid, wishing he could deal with Stella then and there.

Blaise, already pale, grew even angrier at Jaxon's words.

"Have you ever treated her like a sister? Do you think she cares about your opinion now? And Ursula, what exactly did she tell you?"
