Chapter 639
[ 743 words ]
To be honest, Yvonne was genuinely interested in this topic.
She’d always heard people say Stella never got the short end of the stick with the Quarry family or the Larkin family, but she never really bought it.
I mean, Stella was always the most sheltered kid in their family. Whenever she went out, it seemed like she just got picked on.
Idris: “…”
He’d just said he didn’t want to gossip about the boss, but here they were again, right back at the juicy stuff about their favorite troublemaker.
Yvonne grinned, “C’mon, spill it already.”
Idris cleared his throat, glancing around like he was about to share government secrets.
He really tried to resist, but Yvonne was persistent, and eventually, Idris caved and told her all about Stella’s epic showdown with Ursula.
He told her everything, from before they moved to Portis City to what happened after they got there.
So, before they even got to Portis City-two years ago-Ursula had to leave the country after Stella literally went after her. There was even a story about Stella dunking Ursula’s head in the pool and trashing Yorick’s car.
Yvonne’s jaw dropped so far she looked like she’d just seen the Thanksgiving turkey come alive. “No way. Are you serious?”
Her Stella, that fierce?
If anyone dared mess with her, Stella would just go full-on WWE? One challenger, she’d smack them down. Two? She’d take them both out at once?
From Idris’s description, Yvonne could practically picture the chaos, even though she wasn’t there.
Idris nodded, “Totally serious. Miss Stella sent Ursula straight to the hospital that day-they found, like, a laundry list of ailments.”
Yvonne’s eyes went wide. “A laundry list?”
“So Ursula blamed it all on Stella, as usual?”
“If she did, I swear, I’m about to book a flight to Portis City and put that witch in her place,” Yvonne huffed.
Idris shrugged, “Nah, you can’t really blame someone for being sick just because they got beat up. That’s a whole different thing.”
Yvonne nodded. “Fair point.”
Idris continued, “But after that, Ursula kept trying to mess with Stella and turn the Larkin family against her.”
Yvonne rolled her eyes. “Please, the Larkin family? Not exactly worth crying over.” Idris grinned. “That’s exactly how Stella felt. So when Yorick got punched, and Jaxon got absolutely wrecked, nobody felt sorry for them.”
Yvonne snorted. “Serves them right. If they weren’t already down, I might have flown over there myself just to make sure.”
She paused, thinking about her schedule. She had honestly been considering a trip to Portis City just for that. Too bad Xander and Dan had been keeping her way too busy lately.
Just as she was about to say something else, her phone buzzed. She checked the screen-Dan. Yvonne immediately declined the call.
She was just thinking about that pain in the ass, and now he was calling? Figures.
The phone buzzed again. Still Dan. She blocked the number without a second thought.
Then a new text came in from an unknown number: “Maybe I should just wait for you outside the Quinn family house?”
Yvonne nearly dropped her phone. Are you kidding me?
She called the number back, and Dan picked up immediately. Before he could say
anything, Yvonne snapped, “Alright, what the hell do you want?”
Dan’s voice boomed through the speaker, “You and Xander-get divorced. Tomorrow. I’m not kidding.”
Yvonne almost laughed. “Have you lost your mind?”
Divorce Xander? Who did this guy think he was, ordering her around?
Dan barked, “Tomorrow at ten a.m. I’ll be waiting at the courthouse. If you two don’t show up-“
He paused, his voice low and threatening.
Yvonne blinked. Was this guy serious? Most people at least gave you three days,
or a week, or a month to think things over. Dan was giving her… what, a few hours?
And what was he going to do at the courthouse? Was he planning to officiate their divorce himself?
She said, “Wait, what exactly are you planning to do?”
This was all getting a little too weird. Lately, her life felt like a game of Whac-A- Mole, and everyone around her was just popping up with one crazy scheme after another.
Dan replied, “I want to see with my own eyes that you and Xander are actually divorced.”
Yvonne just stared at her phone. Was this guy for real?
Idris, who’d overheard the conversation, shook his head. Watching a divorce in person? That’s a whole new level of nosy.
But honestly, did Dan really think things would go that way? With how Xander was acting lately, there was no way a divorce was happening-least of all with Dan meddling in the middle of it.
