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.

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.
