Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath

Chapter 414

Yorick snapped, "Don't come to me about her anymore."

"What?"

Before Cloudia could respond, Yorick hung up.

Hearing the dial tone, Cloudia instinctively gripped her phone tighter. Her eyes narrowed as she looked over at Ursula.

Ursula's breath hitched, and her face turned pale after hearing Yorick's words.

Almost breathless with disbelief, Cloudia demanded, "What's going on between you and Rick?"

"What happened that day?" Cloudia practically shouted, her voice echoing with anger.

Tears welled up in Ursula's eyes, spilling over. "Mom, I... I..."

"You, you... What am I supposed to say to you? Tell me the truth, what happened?"

With Yorick backing out, Cloudia felt a wave of panic.

Good heavens, the Larkin family had already gone through so much recently. Was the last lifeline with Yorick now cut too?

Why was Yorick treating Ursula like that? Could Stella's accident really be connected to her? Cloudia's thoughts spiraled, the confirmation she dreaded seeming all too likely now.

With a tight-lipped expression, she looked sternly at Ursula.

Meeting her gaze, Ursula shook her head, tears streaming down. "Mom, I, I..."

Cloudia's chest heaved with emotion. "Was it you who caused Star's accident?"
