Chapter 51

[ 551 words ]

This here was Stella.

Ever since she left the Quinn family, she’d been living a life like this. If someone hit her, she’d hit right back; if she was insulted, she’d definitely give a piece of her mind. Taking a loss?

That was not in her vocabulary. She was not one to be walked over.

Sirena sneered, “Huh, I’m the idiot? What are you even? No wonder Yorick ditched you. With your flirtatious ways, he’d be crazy to keep you.”

Stella shot back, “Are you blind? I was the one who dumped him.”

Dealing with someone like Sirena was beneath Stella. Her close ties with Ursula were no secret, and Stella knew her prejudice was fueled by Ursula’s influence.

Sirena taunted, “Oh, you dumped him? Or did you just set your sights on a bigger, better deal? Mark my words, Stella, you’re going to regret it.”

Stella was all set to unleash a torrent of choice words when Sirena mercilessly continued, “Oh, haven’t you heard? For Ursula, Yorick’s ready to drop tens of millions to secure the Wave Residence at Mist Bay. Ever heard of that place?” Stella didn’t reply, puzzled as she glanced around her room.

Sirena went on, “Someone like you, a bumpkin, won’t know what kind of place Wave Residence is. Let me put it plainly – it’s the oceanfront mansion with the best location in all of Portis City. The grounds are bigger than any park you’ve ever visited. Two years as his fiancée, and what have you got to show for it? Now, even if you wanted to, it’s too late for regrets.’

Probably because of getting disciplined by Jeremy, Sirena was spouting her frustration on the phone.

Stella smirked, “Wave Residence, huh? You sure Yorick’s clinched the deal for Ursula?”

“It’s in the bag. Just wait, you won’t even get a chance in your life.”

Stella retorted, “Let’s see if he actually gets it. Then you can come gloat for Ursula all you want.”

What an utter fool! Sirena’s obsession with pleasing Ursula surely had to be for Jaxon’s sake.

Too bad, Sirena didn’t know Jaxon’s true colors. Merely a jerk he was, and she considered him as a treasure. Despite his bachelor status, Jaxon already had a two-year-old child by another woman!

Stella ended the call directly. Time spent on Sirena was just a waste.

No sooner had she hung up than a call from Susanna came through.

Stella answered, “Hey, Susie.”

“I just heard about Yorick going all out for the Wave Residence for Ursula. He’s tearing Mist Bay apart looking for the owner. Has he lost his mind?”

Stella was speechless.

Susanna continued, “Doesn’t the Quarry family have any say in this?”

She’d had it enough with Ursula’s antics. And now this dramatic move only disgusted her even more. A mere foster kid of the Larkins not just attempted to snatch a position of being a biological daughter, but also was greedy for everything. Stella knew Susanna’s disdain for Ursula all too well, chuckling, “Don’t worry, whether the Quarry family steps in or not, Yorick’s not getting Wave Residence.”

“Huh? How can you know that?”

“He’s been after Mist Bay for years. If it were possible, he’d have bought it by now. The news you heard probably is Ursula’s strategy to pressure Yorick.” “That’s downright vile.”

Stella smirked, “Sadly for them, Yorick is oblivious. He’ll end up the joke of the town, and so will Ursula.”
