Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath

Chapter 343

The icy wind howled through the streets, biting deep into Yorick's bones. He stood there, phone pressed to his ear, listening to the endless ringing. His mind went blank. "If they weren't her blood family, they'd probably meet a quicker end."

Either way, it felt like a dead-end. Not being related might make it less painful?

Orion approached Yorick, his expression grim. "Sir, Ms. Stella has already left Portis City."

It had taken a considerable effort to pry even this small snippet of information from the security team. Getting any news about Stella these days felt like pulling teeth.

No contact, no sightings. Someone who used to be so close now felt a world apart.

Yorick shivered from the cold. "When did this happen?"

"Right after...everything."

Yorick frowned. With Stella out of Portis City, there was no chance of finding her- no opportunity for the face-to-face conversation he desperately needed.

His jaw tightened as Ronald's cutting words over the phone replayed in his mind. It was clear Ronald wouldn't forgive the Larkins easily.

But Ursula couldn't wait. He had visited her yesterday, and the moment he stepped into her room, an oppressive sense of despair had engulfed him. She was alive, but her room felt like a tomb. Orion continued, "She might have gone back to Ferrowland."

Yorick's heart sank. Back to Ferrowland? That meant she was even further out of reach now.

...

In the end, Yorick found himself at the Larkin residence once more.
