Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath

Chapter 344

"That woman even had a son."

Yorick fell silent at those words. The news hit him like a ton of bricks, and he hadn't quite processed it yet.

Whenever he looked at Blaise before, he never would have pegged him as the type to have an affair.

"How did Cloudia find out?" Yorick asked, turning to Jaxon.

Jaxon paused for a moment, then let out a mocking laugh. "With all the drama surrounding Stella lately, it's obvious she's behind this. It's her way of getting back at the Larkin family, tearing apart even her own flesh and blood." Just mentioning Stella made Jaxon clench his teeth in frustration. She was his sister, yet she could do this to him.

The constant pain from his wound served as a sharp reminder, feeding the resentment that boiled inside him.

Yorick frowned, irritation bubbling up at the mention of Stella.

"Don't you think her relationship with Mr. Quinn seems... not quite like that of siblings?" Yorick ventured.

Jaxon narrowed his eyes. "What do you mean?"

Yorick's mind flashed back to that scene at the Silk-River Residences where Ronald casually came out of the shower with just a towel around his waist.

Would normal siblings act like that? Obviously not.

Jaxon, however, didn't have the energy or interest to concern himself with whatever was happening between Stella and Ronald.

After a moment of thought, he said, "I heard some gossip- she's got a fiancé back in Ferrowland."
