Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath

Chapter 289

Ronald had this natural aura of intimidation that could make anyone feel the raw masculinity in just a single glance.

Even though Jaxon and Yorick were considered the golden boys of Portis City, they couldn't help but lower their heads at this moment.

Ronald narrowed his eyes slightly. "Idris."

"Yes, sir."

"The Larkin family now..."

"Mr. Quinn," Jaxon felt a jolt in his chest as he hurriedly stepped forward to interrupt Ronald.

He couldn't afford to bring up the Larkin family anymore. The entire Larkin family was on the brink of bankruptcy, and their only valuable project had been halted. Jaxon, feeling suffocated, said, "Mr. Quinn, there's been a misunderstanding."

As he spoke, he shot a glance at Stella, who was nestled in Ronald's arm, signaling her with urgency.

This darn girl, how could she not see family loyalty? She was siding with an outsider against her own family.

Jaxon seethed internally, but he wore an expression of nervous apprehension, careful not to show his true feelings.

Ronald raised an eyebrow. "Are you implying I'm deaf?"

Jaxon stammered, "No, I..."

Facing Ronald's increasingly icy gaze, Jaxon felt another tremor in his heart. He instinctively looked to Stella. His eyes were twitching, practically begging her to speak up. Was this girl really going to let him die here?
