Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath

Chapter 357

Listening to Finley's infectious laughter and his words, Stella was completely taken aback. She looked at Ronald, sniffled a bit, and stammered, "You, you, you..."

Ronald, seeing her pouty and wronged expression, leaned down to peck her softly on the lips. "What's wrong? Are you upset?"

Stella wriggled a bit in his arms, showing her displeasure.

Ronald chuckled softly. "There, there."

Stella huffed indignantly. She had honestly thought she was making a cool seven hundred grand a year through her own efforts, but what a joke! Turns out, it was nothing like that at all. "So, StarRiver Corp. is..." she asked.

Finley chimed in, "It's your brother's."

"Don't you speak! I wasn't asking you," Stella snapped, clearly annoyed.

At this point, not only did Ronald want to throttle Finley, but Stella was also tempted to do the same.

"You tell me," she insisted.

Ronald nodded, confirming her suspicions.

Stella snuggled deeper into his embrace, and Ronald gazed down at her tousled head. Her sunhat had been knocked askew from all her wriggling.

Seeing her all puffed up and sulking, Ronald felt a sudden wave of affection, mixed with a hint of helplessness.
