Chapter 19 

Facing Yorick’s icy stare, Stella quirked an eyebrow, Did I do something?” 

Yorick retorted, Stella, she’s just back to get treated. Why so petty?” 

At that, Stella laughed

So what I’m petty? Aren’t there hospitals abroad? Or no doctors? Or maybe she’s broke? Needs you to babysit her and arrange the appointments?” 

Her rapidfire questions left Yorick seething, almost choking on his fury

The treatment plan from Tegan is crucial for her. You know it right? She’s seriously ill, suffering from multiple conditions.” 

Well, how unique for having this disease, to be so young and so broken down.” 

tone was dripping with sarcasm and notsosubtle mockery

Yorick couldn’t stand her snide remarks any longer

Stella pressed on, What is it, unhealthy living? Or, is it just her time?” 

It was seriously rare to be unusually ill for her age. The mention of just her timehit a nerve with Yorick, Cut the snide attitude. Just call Tegan back.” 

Yorick was done arguing with Stella and issued a cold command

Stella raised an eyebrow, Who do you think you’re ordering around?” 

It seemed he’d forgotten who he was dealing with since yesterday. And now ordering her around? As if he had the right

That only darkened Yorick’s mood further as he gritted his teeth, Stella, let me be clear. Our wedding waits until Ursula is better. If you, think you can handle what’s coming, by all means, keep playing your games!” 

Yorick’s frustration erupted, his stance unwavering. He was convinced that if the Larkin family got wind of Stella’s meddling, she’d face severe consequences. At that time, he’d like to see if she was able to deal with it

I can handle it. But can she?Throwing threats right back at him, Stella rolled her eyes

Yorick was even more furious, If anything happens to her, you won’t get away with it.” 

Who won’t get away with it if something happens?” 

Imogen’s voice cut through, approaching with a stormy face to stand by Stella, taking her hand and glaring at Yorick, Who did you say won’t get away with it?” 

Yorick was still fuming, It’s” 

Did you forget what we discussed in the study earlier?” 

At the moment, Imogen’s voice was ice cold

Yorick was taken aback

Imogen clutched Stella’s hand, her gaze at Yorick turning even more piercing, while Yorick, frustrated, ignored Imogen and turned to leave without another word

Stay right there!” 

Yorick paused but didn’t turn back. After a moment’s thought, he continued towards the door and left

Seeing him go, Imogen was livid

Now alone with Imogen, Stella pulled her hand back and removed her diamond necklace from her neck, placing it in Imogen’s hand

Imogen started, What” 

Stella interrupted, You saw Yorick’s way of handling personal matters.” 

She had been wondering how to tell Imogen that there was no future with Yorick, given the Quarry family’s kindness over the years

Now, Yorick had inadvertently paved the way for her, saving her from possibly offending them

Imogen nodded, anxious, Yes, Yorick is at fault. I’ll deal with that brat.” 

Acknowledging her son’s mistake, Imogen couldn’t fault Stella’s stance

Stella, he’s just not thinking straight. Give him another chance, will you? I’ll make sure to give him a piece of my mind.” 

Stella looked down, I’ve been giving him chances for two years. His frequent trips abroad to see Ursula were one thing, but this is different.”

As if any chances were given

But of course, the blame would fall entirely on Yorick

Hearing about Yorick’s trips to see Ursula, Imogen was shocked, He’s been visiting Ursula often?” 

Last month, on my birthday, he was abroad.” 

No need for further explanation

Stella and Ursula shared a birthday, and Yorick being overseas then had raised no suspicions in the Quarry family, assuming it was a business trip

But Stella’s implication made Imogen’s lips twitch

That brat!” 

Imogen was furious enough to wish she could throttle Yorick herself. And as for Ursula, hadn’t Imogen made herself clear two years 

? Absolutely no dignity left, utterly infuriating
