Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath

Chapter 415

After picking up a call, Ronald headed straight to his study.

The butler looked at Stella respectfully. "Miss, are you sure you don't want the grilled salmon for lunch?" She used to love her fish.

Ever since moving in here, there was almost always a fish dish on the table.

Stella waved her hand dismissively. "No, I can't stand the taste today."

Something about the fish seemed off. But since the butler assured it was fresh when it arrived, she didn't bother arguing further.

The butler nodded, "Understood."

Just as Stella settled onto the couch, her phone rang. It was Tegan.

"I just heard from Uriah that Cloudia has been desperately borrowing money from the wealthy ladies in town," Tegan said.

"Borrowing money?" Stella queried, raising an eyebrow.

It seemed Cloudia had hit rock bottom if she was willing to swallow her pride and ask those society ladies for money.

Cloudia was all about appearances. When the Larkin family was well-off, she would give Ursula

everything best. But with Ursula needing medical expenses and the family ruined financially, she had no choice but to humble herself before the very people she once disdained.

"Yeah, can you believe the Larkin family is so broke that they can't even scrape together a few hundred thousand?" Tegan scoffed.

Stella sighed. "Looks like it."
