Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath

Chapter 288

From the moment Stella walked in, she didn't spare Yorick a single glance.

Yorick, who had been engaged to her for two years, suddenly realized that Stella wasn't exactly as the outside world portrayed her. At least when it came to their relationship, she wasn't as the rumors suggested. Jaxon noticed Yorick's hesitation and grew anxious. "Rick," he urged. He couldn't stand Stella's attitude. In his eyes, she wasn't worth a dime.

Ignoring Jaxon, Yorick met Stella's gaze. "If I give you the money, will you help Ursula leave Portis City?"

Since last night, they had been racking their brains to find a way to get Ursula out of the city. It was clear that Mr. Quinn had laid down a strict order against the Larkins and Quarries in regard to Ursula's situation. Right now, Stella held some influence within the Quinn family. Yorick didn't want to antagonize her, especially since Ursula couldn't afford any further delays.

Stella replied, "Give me the money first."

Yorick shook his head. "No way."

After being deceived by her before, he knew her tricks all too well. He had found out that she once used his credit card to buy expensive gifts for her entire studio. Each set of cosmetics cost over a thousand. Clearly, she wasn't concerned about spending money that wasn't hers.

Stella shrugged. "Fine, don't give it then."

She didn't really care. She was just toying with them.

Jaxon interjected, "State your conditions for letting Ursula leave the country."

Jaxon was in no mood for games. He just wanted to resolve Ursula's issue as quickly as possible.
