Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath

Chapter 374

It was quite a rare occasion for Ronald to stay in Portis City for such an extended period. But then again, it was probably because of Stella.

"Remember to put yourself first," Ronald reminded her with a firm tone.

"Got it. Is Star with you?" Yvonne's voice crackled through the phone.

"She is."

"Then you better keep a close eye on her. You know what Xander's intentions are," Yvonne warned, her tone shifting to irritation at the mention of Xander. It was clear she was still upset about Xander's betrayal towards the Quinn family. Ronald glanced at the sweet and innocent Stella beside him, a fond smile playing on his lips. "She's smarter than you think."

Yvonne was taken aback. What did he mean by that?

Before she could question further, Ronald had already ended the call.

Stella looked up at him, feigning innocence. "Talking about Yvonne like that, aren't you afraid she'll come after you?"

"What trouble could she possibly cause?" Ronald scoffed.

"You're underestimating her," Stella teased, recalling how Xander had once underestimated her back in Patrina.

Ronald's gaze fell on the red mark on Stella's neck. He gently lifted her chin to inspect it.
