Chapter 506

When Ronald arrived, the butler had sent Jaxon away. Accompanying Ronald was Uriah, whose face was a storm cloud of emotions.

The butler briefed Ronald about the Jaxon incident and added with a hint of guilt, "I apologize, sir. I might have been a bit too harsh."

Jaxon had been trying to cozy up to Stella, so naturally, he didn't receive a warm welcome. But the butler was well aware that Ronald had been giving Jaxon the cold shoulder for some time now.

Ronald quipped, "Aren't both his arms broken?"

Ronald chuckled, dismissing the butler's self-reproach with a wave of his hand.

He left the rest unsaid. If Uriah couldn't persuade Tegan to remain in Portis City of her own accord, Stella would have to whisk her away.

Uriah's brow furrowed, a dark aura hanging around him. He was clearly displeased but knew better than to cross Ronald. That would be a losing battle.
