Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath

Chapter 546

Mrs. Elysia was the Lugar family's go-to fashion consultant.

As for custom tailoring and all that, Stella didn't really have a clue. Back when she was with the Quinn family, all those bespoke outfits weren't something she had to worry about. Usually, it was Ronald, Mrs. Elysia, or Yvonne who picked out her clothes. She just wore whatever they handed her.

But now that she was living on her own, she simply bought whatever caught her eye. Whether it clashed with someone else's outfit was the last thing on her mind. Yvonne teased, "So, have you gotten used to living so plainly?"

Stella was taken aback. Plainly?

"Do you have some kind of misunderstanding about normal life? I think it's pretty great."

When she was with the Quinn family, everything from what she wore to what she ate was decided for her. She only had a limited range of choices, and she picked what she liked within those constraints.

But now, out in the world, everything was up to her good or bad. For instance, when it came to food and clothing, there were so many options. When she was with the Quinn family, there was a certain protocol to follow. But out here, comfort was the priority.

Yvonne scoffed, "Seems like you enjoy life out there so much you forgot how to come home."

Stella replied, "It's not like that."

She wanted to come home; she just wanted to show them that her life outside wasn't as bad as they imagined, especially with the Larkin family.

During one dinner, her mom seemed convinced that the Larkins were treating her poorly, but that wasn't the case. The Larkin family might not have been kind, but Stella wasn't one to take it lying down.

In a word, the Larkins had messed with her, and she hadn't let them off the hook either.
