Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath

Chapter 459 Stella had heard about Hull's injury and asked a few concerned questions before Susanna switched topics.

"Well, Cloudia will probably be locked up now. I just saw the news. She's being charged with murder."

Stella raised her eyebrows. "Someone died?"

She hadn't followed the news because Ronald had returned, so she hadn't seen the end. But Cloudia taken away in handcuffs suggested this was serious.

Susanna nodded. "Yeah, they were rushed to the hospital. One of the kids got hurt, too, but there's no update yet."

Stella gasped. She used to think she was a saint when she first joined the Larkin family, but now she realized the woman had no qualms about harming even children.

Susanna gave her a warning look, "You better watch out. The Larkin family will be looking for you."

"Looking for me?" Stella was puzzled.

"Because Ronald is backing you, they might want you to pull some strings to get Cloudia out of trouble." Susanna pointed out. "You're the only outsider in that family. The rest stick together like glue."

It was a harsh truth, but Stella knew it was reality. Among the Larkin family, she was the lone outsider.

"Just wait. Jaxon's going to contact you," Susanna continued.
