Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath

Chapter 757

Yvonne, Dan, Xander, Hull... These people had all gotten tangled up together, thanks to Susanna.

Meanwhile, over at the Quinn family, things weren't going so smoothly for Stella, either.

After she read the latest headlines coming out of Portis City, her face darkened instantly.

Tegan James called.

"You've seen the news, right? There's no doubt it's Yorick Quarry stirring up trouble. He wants to ruin your reputation."

The news from Portis City was everywhere.

Article after article claimed that Stella looked down her nose at the Larkin family and refused to acknowledge them as blood relatives. Some even said Ronald dumped Yorick because of her.

Basically, they were painting her as a stuck-up, social-climbing diva.

If Stella didn't believe Yorick was behind this, she'd have to be pretty naive.

"Is this going to hurt your standing with the Quinn family?" Tegan sounded genuinely worried.

Stella scoffed. "What's the worst that can happen? Whatever they think they can do to me, it's just their own wishful thinking."
