Chapter 119
Stella stared at Yorick frostily, “You come to yourself now?”
If not, she’d go fetch a bucket and give him a cold shower right there and then.
Yorick glared at Stella, his chest heaving with anger, “You…”
“A nightclub girl? Yorick, with your brain, I’m starting to question how you’ve been managing the Quarry Group. All sunshine, no rain,
huh?”
Yorick retorted, “What do you mean?”
“With your IQ, aside from lying to your parents, how could you possibly run a company properly?”
She didn’t believe it for a second.
arly, Stella was calling Yorick an idiot.
Yorick was so furious he nearly passed out.
“You!”
“You don’t even have the right to question me, and now you’re here insulting me? Maybe there are a few things you haven’t quite grasped?”
Yorick was speechless.
This infuriating woman, he really wanted to seal her mouth shut.
“What things?”
At this moment, Yorick was seething with rage. But Stella continued to twist the knife, “First off, I dumped you, and the whole of Portig City knows it!”
Yorick remained silent.
Stella continued, “Second, about Finley and Tegan, you’re still begging me, aren’t you?”
Yorick couldn’t reply. The mention of Finley and Tegan only fueled his anger further.
Two doctors, linking human lives to Stella’s words, what kind of doctors were they?
Stella added, “Begging me on one hand, insulting and threatening me on the other?”
As Stella recalled the time in the hospital when Cloudia and Jaxon even threatened to kidnap her, a chill flashed in her eyes.
Yorick, furious as he was, found himself at a loss for words. Especially with Stella’s serious expression as she metaphorically stabbed him in the chest, making him finally realize that her breaking off their engagement was serious.
Suddenly, he felt a tightness in his chest, suffocated and uncomfortable. His face paled as he asked, “Then tell me, what’s the relationship between you and that man at the hospital? He called you ‘Miss‘, what kind of ‘Miss‘ are you exactly?”
That was the question Yorick needed answers to. He wouldn’t leave until he got them today.
Stella looked at him with a smirk, “Why should I tell you?”
Her retort was sharp.
“Was I not clear enough with my words earlier?”
Silence.
“Do
need me to explain it again? Would that help?”
Idiot! Such an idiot, how on earth did Yorick manage to run the Quarry Group so well?
In fact, Stella was now seriously doubting whether Yorick had been only reporting the good and hiding the bad.
From the outside, the Quarry Group seemed to be at the pinnacle of success. But internally, who knew what mess he had created.
Yorick stared at her coldly. Seeing her refusal to answer, he decided to ignore Stella’s rhetorical question.
“Then let me ask differently, why are you staying at Wave Residence? And who owns it?”
Stella teased, “So eager to find out who’s behind it, planning to buy it for Ursula’s recuperation, huh?”
Though the thought was laughable, it still irked Stella. Her place, eyed by a sick person – if something bad happened there, it would be a
curse.
Yorick pressed, “Is it Finley? Or the man you were with at Silk–River Residences? Or maybe, the man from the hospital today?”
Stella faced these humiliating questions, her patience finally reaching its limit.
