Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath

Chapter 543

After all, they had been busy dealing with the aftermath of past troubles all these years.

Otherwise they would have whisked Stella away from the grasp of the Larkin family a long time ago. Compared to the real dangers out there, the Larkins' petty tricks were child's play.

This time, though, things hadn't been fully resolved. But when Stella used the black card Ronald had given her, it raised a few eyebrows back home.

Sure, there were still some loose ends to tie up, but the thought of Stella being in trouble in Portis City was enough to keep them on edge.

"Let's not worry about that right now. First things first, let's get some food in our bellies," Lottie said, placing a juicy piece of steak onto Stella's plate. This was a classic beef stew, a dish Stella had always adored.

But ever since moving to Portis City, she found the local rendition lacking, so she'd stopped ordering it.

Lottie's warm gesture made Stella feel at ease.

Just as she was savoring her meal, Yvonne burst through the door, fuming. "Those Yoder bastards! One day I'll make them pay double for what they did.

And Skye and Finley? They're just a pair of scumbags.

And Xander, that jerk. I'll deal with him too. I'm going to end him soon or later."

Stella and Ronald were momentarily speechless.

Lottie couldn't help but twitch at Yvonne's choice of words, lamenting how indecent her own daughter could be. She wondered who Yvonne took a resemblance to as for the character, given how much time she'd remind her of not hurling foul remarks, and yet to no avail.

As she turned around, Yvonne was entering from the foyer.

"Enough with the curses. Try acting like a lady, will you?"
