Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath

When they stepped out of the car, Ronald had noticed the icy patch on the driveway.

The butler's face went pale with worry. "Sir..."

Stella tugged at Ronald's sleeve. "They did clear it earlier, but the temperature's just too low."

Hearing Stella's explanation, the butler looked at her with gratitude.

She was right. They had cleared the ice just half an hour ago. In fact, they'd been at it all day. But with the constant snowfall and chilly weather, it was a losing battle. Ronald glanced down at Stella's shoes. "Change into something more appropriate."

"Okay," Stella nodded obediently.

A maid quickly fetched a pair of warm slippers for her.

Ronald had business to discuss with Hull, so he headed straight to the study.

Stella was about to go upstairs when her phone buzzed. It was Susanna, practically hyperventilating on the other end.

Stella sighed, "I know you didn't mean it, but I can't say Hull thinks the same."

"What do you mean?" Susanna sounded desperate. She was on the verge of a meltdown. Nothing had ever embarrassed her this much before.

"Just steer clear of him in the future," Stella advised. "Hull was not as harmless as he seemed."
