Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath

Chapter 345

The Larkin family was in a real mess.

Yorick and Jaxon had been discussing their next move, but it felt like they were up against a brick wall. The whole situation was infuriating and utterly exhausting.

Ronald had them cornered. He had blocked every possible avenue for the Larkin family, and even Cloudia's efforts to rally the support of her social circle had hit a dead end.

As Yorick approached Ursula's room, he noticed the door was shut, but he could hear Ursula having a heated argument with someone inside. Her voice was loud and filled with anger.

Normally, Yorick would have barged in without a second thought, but this time he hesitated, pressing his ear to the door.

Inside, Ursula was completely unaware of his presence.

He could hear her seething. "Oh, you think I'm scared now? I'm practically at death's door. Go ahead and spill the beans, let's just get it over with."

She was on the brink of madness. Caught between Stella's relentless pressure and the threats from this killer, she was also dealing with the agony of her illness.

What had she done to deserve this kind of punishment? All she wanted was to hold on to what she had. Was that so wrong?

"The Larkin family has been so good to you, and this is how you repay them? Cut the crap. I want two million," the killer demanded, clearly doubting Ursula's words. Everyone in Portis City knew she was the most cherished adopted daughter in town. Hearing the demand for two million, Ursula's heart sank even deeper.
