Chapter 493
Frost’s brow furrowed deeply. From her expression, she hadn’t talked things through with Yorick before coming to see her. She had been abroad for the past few years, so she wasn’t up to speed with her family’s affairs.
Listening to Stella’s tone, Frost felt a slight tremor in her heart. She knew Yorick had feelings for Ursula. Even though she hadn’t been around, she had pieced together some information from various reports. The gist of it was that Ursula had nearly killed Stella.
Frost took a deep breath. “Ursula was the Larkin family’s adopted daughter, so the issues between you and her are the Larkin family’s matter, right?”
Family matters should be resolved behind closed doors, not dragged out into the open for everyone to see.
Stella nodded. “Yes, it’s a Larkin family issue, but Yorick’s been covering it up, suppressing all the evidence. He chose to get involved, so tell me, Frost, is he innocent?”
That car accident was a huge deal. When she figured out it was related to Ursula, she went on a rampage against Ursula, gathering substantial evidence.
But those people back then… there’s no need to explain.
Jaxon even went so far as to hire a hitman to help Ursula suppress the incident. And Yorick was part of it!
They said Yorick was her fiancé during those two years, but for her, he was just a pawn, a tool to fend off Ferrowland.
Frost’s pupils trembled at what she heard.
“So, you’re saying he knew Ursula caused the accident?”
Stella chuckled drily. “Go ask him who Felix is.”
Felix? Upon hearing that name, Frost’s breath caught in her throat. Felix was a notorious hitman, renowned -globally for never missing a mark.
“You’re saying he hired Felix to go after you? Then how did you…”
“Wondering why I’m still alive? It’s because the Lugar family raised me.”
And she had a connection with Felix!
That was their most vicious attempt to take her down. They didn’t hesitate to hire Felix to take her life, but Stella wouldn’t have survived that time if it hadn’t been for her relationship with Felix.
Felix informed her about it later. If anyone wondered why she was so ruthless toward the Larkin family and Yorick, it was because of what they had done to her.
Jaxon was running around frantically because of Cloudia, suddenly recognizing her as his sister, huh? And Frost said Yorick was innocent?
Oh, innocence wasn’t something Frost’s protective words alone could decide.
Frost’s breathing quickened, and she gritted her teeth. “That bastard Yorick, how could he do that to you?”
Stella blinked in surprise.
Suddenly, Frost was furious. She stood up, flushing with anger. “I’m going back right now to wring Yorick’s neck.”
Stella was left speechless. The change was abrupt, but it made sense knowing Frost’s fiery nature.
Frost stormed out in a rage.
Stella shrugged. Let it be chaos. Maybe the Quarry family wasn’t chaotic enough, or Frost wouldn’t have waited this long to return.

Chapter 493
With Frost gone, Stella was left alone. The housekeeper entered to clear away Frost’s coffee cup.
Stella turned and left the living room.
The butler approached respectfully. “Miss, is there anything you need to take back to Ferrowland?”
Stella shook her head. “No.”
Portis City hadn’t left a great impression on her during her two–year stay there. This time, returning to Ferrowland, she wanted to go back cleanly, without taking even a leaf from Portis City.
The butler nodded. “Understood.”
“Where’s Ronald?”
“In the study. Dr. Yoder and Mr. Cobb have arrived.”
