Chapter 140
Although Stella was putting up a tough front against Yorick, spreading the word about calling off their engagement herself, who could truly understand the heart of a girl like her?
Anyway, Jeremy warned Stella not to waste her time on Yorick. A man like that, even if you got what you wished for and ended up together, it was a life that could hardly be happy ever after.
Stella’s face changed a bit; she didn’t expect there to be such an issue between Yorick and Ursula.
“Thanks.”
Jeremy left the velvet box behind, “I’m off, keep the gift.”
It was meant for her after all; there was no taking it back. Jeremy wasn’t one to take back what he had given!
Exiting Stella’s office, Jeremy bumped into Yorick, who was on his way to see her.
Yorick’s expression was sour. Seeing Jeremy coming out of Stella’s office made him buzz with irritation!
A certain thought naturally popped into his mind.
As they passed each other, Yorick grabbed Jeremy’s wrist abruptly, “What are you doing here?”
In his view, Stella and Jeremy had no connection.
So, Jeremy visiting Stella now, what could it be about!?
Jeremy looked at Yorick with a smile, “What do you think I’m here for?”
Seeing Yorick’s face, Jeremy knew he must’ve misunderstood.
Normally, Jeremy would clarify things a bit, but not for Yorick! He hated how Yorick would always think so lowly of Stella. He looked forward to Ronald tearing Yorick apart.
Jeremy’s nonchalance infuriated Yorick even further.
But before he could act, Jeremy spoke first, “You sure you want to fight with that unrecovered hand and your leg? Don’t blame me if you can’t walk afterward.”
That comment only fueled Yorick’s rage!
His hand was fractured, needing a cast for over a month as the doctor said. Though the leg injury wasn’t severe, it still hurt, making him limp a bit.
“What exactly did you come to see her for?” Yorick asked through gritted teeth.
Jeremy replied, “None of your freaking business! She told the whole of Portis City she’s done with you, can’t I pursue her?”
Rage filled Yorick’s chest.
Jeremy shook him off and didn’t linger. After all, this was Stella’s territory, and causing a scene here could lead to misunderstandings.
If it got back to Ronald, Jeremy would be the one in trouble.
From what he gathered from Stella, Ronald’s visit to Portis City meant the Quarry family was out of the game.
He’d better go back and sort out his contracts, maybe there was still hope.
Dealing with Ronald was the priority, Yorick was just a waste of time.
So Jeremy left.
Yorick stood there, fuming and dizzy with anger.
That damn Stella, what was going on between her and Jeremy?
Tabitha tried to stop Yorick. But Yorick wasn’t someone she could just stop.
Stella said no visitors, but Tabitha couldn’t hold him back, so angry she thought about calling the police.
The office door was slammed open against the wall.
Inside, Stella had just opened the velvet box Jeremy left behind.
A large, sparkling diamond ring caught her eye, and before she could think anything of it, Yorick charged in like a storm.
When Yorick saw the ring, he froze on spot!

So, Jeremy had come to propose to her?
