Chapter 212 

Yorick and Ursula really break up, what’s Ursula going to do then? But why would Yorick hang up on Ursula now? What’s that about? 

“Why would he hang up on you? Did you argue with him? Is it because you were pushing too hard for Wave Residence and upset him?” 

Wave Residence was worth a fortune, specifically intended for Ursula’s treatment. Naturally, the Quarry family would have strong opinions about it. 

Moreover, canceling the wedding with Stella had already rubbed some of the elders in the Quarry family the wrong way. They would surely put additional pressure on Yorick over this incident! 

Hearing this, Ursula grew even more upset. “It’s not like I asked for it. He was the one who offered.” 

All his promises, and now he’s upset when he couldn’t deliver? 

Thinking about Stella’s smug face made Ursula dread the upcoming mockery, not to mention the one hundred thousand! 

Was Stella already aware she wouldn’t be able to move into Wave Residence when she boldly made that bet? 

The more Ursula thought, the darker her mood became, her breathing even became uneven! 

At the hospital, Cloudia and Ursula were having a rough time. Neither Yorick nor Jaxon had visited. 

Before, at least one of them would come to see Ursula’s room. 

Little did they know, the Larkin Group was also struggling. 

After Jaxon’s visit to TrueVision Inc., he finally uncovered the root of their troubles. The CEO, a former classmate of Jaxon, knew why Jaxon was there and directly asked if he had offended StarRiver Corp. 

He told Blaise, “It’s StarRiver Corp.” 

“StarRiver Corp.?” Blaise repeated, his frown deepening. 

Jaxon nodded. “Yes.” 

Blaise looked puzzled. “When did we offend them?” 

In Blaise’s memory, they hardly had any dealings with StarRiver Corp. 

though it was only established in the last couple of years, its scale was beyond what the Larkin Group could connect with. 

Jaxon’s expression turned grave. The more he thought about it on his way back, the gloomier he became. 

He looked at Blaise. “We haven’t offended them directly, but we’ve had a falling out with Stella recently.” 

He recalled their attempt to shut down Stella’s studio, which led them to investigate all of her collaborators. None dared to comply with their request. But when they approached StarRiver Corp., the response was particularly defiant. 

Blaise frowned. “What do you mean?” 

Jaxon’s voice was firm. “Stella is closely connected with StarRiver Corp. Almost all of their design–related tasks were handed to her. 

The implications were clear. If StarRiver Corp. was sabotaging the Larkin Group from behind, Jaxon was convinced it had something to do with Stella. 

Blaise’s frown deepened. “You’re saying Stella’s behind this?” 

“It has to be her,” Jaxon said through clenched teeth. 

Blaise’s expression darkened, he took off his glasses and pinched the bridge of his nose, his mind in turmoil. 

Over at Spring Hill, Stella assumed they’d head straight to the hot springs upon arrival. However, Ronald suggested having lunch first, citing the timing, and even insisted on an hour’s rest before heading out. 

As they were about to leave, Ronald handed her a thick bathrobe. 

Put this on when you come out. Don’t catch a cold.” 

“It’s just a few steps away,” Stella remarked, glancing at the short path from the changing room to the hot springs. 

Ronald: “Still, better keep warm.” 

“Alright then.” 

Stella took it. 

Seeing her comply, Ronald playfully pinched her nose. “Such a good girl.”
