Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath (Stella)

Chapter 512



Yet, facing Stella's cold and steely gaze, and recalling her formidable skills, Jaxon swallowed back his words. "Could you just let it go about Mom? Please, I'm

begging you."

Ursula's issues were the least of his worries at the moment. Having uncovered some unsettling truths, Jaxon's heart was still simmering with anger. He was furious, enraged. The sister he once thought was kind and gentle had turned into a monster. He couldn't accept it.

Determined, he had sought out Stella, not intending to do anything more for Ursula. His only concern now was for his mother.

Stella raised an eyebrow and laughed sarcastically, "Begging me?"

Jaxon nodded earnestly. "Yes, I'm begging you. Whatever you want, let Mom go, please. She may have seemed like she had it all, but inside she's been miserable

for years."

"You know as well as I do. Dad's never been faithful. She's never felt secure. She's just a sorry soul."

To Jaxon, all those rumors about his father Blaise's escapades were an open secret. So, he saw Cloudia as a tragic figure, a woman trapped in a grand house, unable to withstand the turmoil within her family. With everything turned upside down, she's paying the price.

Stella smirked, "Sorry soul? And what does that have to do with me?"noveldrama

Cloudia was pitiful, huh? Much of her plight was her own doing. She was blind, stubborn, and completely oblivious. Warnings about Ursula not being a good person had likely fallen on deaf ears for years. But Cloudia chose not to listen, so who was to blame?

Jaxon's breath caught. "You..."

Stella smiled wryly and interrupted him, "You must be joking, asking me to let her go? She attacked your father's mistress. How am I supposed to let her off the hook? Jaxon, have you lost your mind? Even if you want to beg, I'm not the one you should be asking."

It was absurd, really, asking her to spare Cloudia.

"But can you really say that the Larkin family isn't like this because of you?" Jaxon's suppressed anger was bubbling to the surface.

Everything had fallen apart because of Stella. The Larkin family was in ruins because she had Ronald backing her.

Stella replied calmly, "Yes, because of me. But let's be clear. I have no intention of sparing any of you."

It was overwhelming to hear Stella's firm resolve. Despair spread through Jaxon's heart like a slow poison. "Stella..."

Her eyes narrowed as she cut him off, "From the moment you and Yorick

conspired with Felix to kill me, I would crush all your wealth and splendor. It was only a matter of time."

Jaxon's already suffocating heart felt like it was being squeezed tighter, his mind buzzing with Stella's words. Her final remark was particularly ruthless, making Jaxon understand why Stella had been so relentless toward them.

"You... you knew everything..."

"Of course, I knew. What, did you think everyone was as clueless as you? Not

even knowing when you're being targeted?"

Stella knew it all, and knowing made her heart even colder.

Jaxon was speechless, his heart sinking deeper. Before coming, he had prepared a slew of pleas, but his words crumbled to dust when facing Stella's ruthless determination.

en

There was no pleading with her. She knew everything. How could he possibly plead?

But thinking of his mother, Jaxon forced himself to speak despite his fear, "She gave birth to you..."

"Star, it's time to go."

Ronald's stern voice from a short distance away cut Jaxon's words off.

Stella turned, giving Ronald a sweet smile. "Coming."

When she faced Jaxon again, the sweetness was gone, replaced by an icy edge,

which made Jaxon's heart ache even more.

Stella said, "The bond of blood and

the fact she gave birth to me, those are things you all chose to discard Words once spoken are like spilled milk. Mr. Larkin, do you think you can just lap them off the floor?"

Indeed, he couldn't. Jaxon was left speechless. No one could undo what they had done. So, what now?

Before he could say anything more, Stella turned and walked toward Ronald.

Ronald extended his broad hand, and Stella placed hers in his palm.

At that moment, Ronald's hand closed around hers in a simple gesture that spoke volumes. But Jaxon saw how much Ronald cherished Stella. Stella was a precious gem to him.

So, while the Larkin family had once undervalued her, she was truly treasured by the Lugar family.
