Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath

Chapter 420

Millions of dollars were at stake...

Jaxon couldn't shake the memory of Stella spending months in the hospital two years ago, all because of Ursula. That memory placed a wedge between him and Ursula.

Sensing something off about Jaxon, Cloudia glanced at him with concern. "Jaxon, I..."

"Mom, Stella is your real daughter. We've been siding with Ursula all these years because we thought Stella's return was making her miserable, that Stella was bullying her."

Cloudia fell silent.

Jaxon continued, "But if Stella's grievances all stem from that car accident, what does that make Ursula?" Stella had been at odds with Ursula for the last two years. They had always accused Stella of losing her mind, believing she was unjustly targeting Ursula.

But what if Stella's actions were because Ursula had started it all, which almost cost Stella's life?

Cloudia's breath hitched, her entire body going rigid.

"Rick has distanced himself from her because of this, too, right?" Jaxon asked, recalling the scene when Yorick left that day.

As Jaxon posed the question, his demeanor grew more intense.

Already struggling to breathe, Cloudia trembled at Jaxon's words. "I, she..."

Suddenly, she was at a loss for words, staring at Jaxon with sorrow-filled eyes.
