Chapter 223

[ 575 words ]

Yorick clenched his fists, grinding his teeth as he glared at Ronald.

With a swift motion, he stood up, his anger palpable. “What are you doing here?” he demanded, the thought of Stella also being present fueling his fury. Was Stella really that close to this man now?

Feeling the intense aura emanating from Ronald, Yorick couldn’t help but wonder…

Was Ronald trying to muscle in on the deal with the Lugar family? What kind of person was he? First, there was Jeremy causing trouble, and now Ronald? Yorick’s already sour expression deepened even further.

“I’m telling you, forget about the Lugar family’s mines,” Yorick spat through clenched teeth.

And now Ronald was adding to his troubles, all thanks to Stella? Did Stella leak information about the Quarry Group’s potential deal with the Lugar family to him?

Once doubt creeps in, it breeds countless thoughts. Even though Yorick had never mentioned anything about the Larkin family’s mines or their replacement strategy in front of Stella.

Idris glanced at Yorick, his look one of barely concealed amusement at Yorick’s ignorance.

“Mr. Quarry, it seems there’s a lot you don’t know,” he said, his tone laced with a hint of mockery.

Was this the heir to the Quarry Group?

Yorick only then realized that Idris was standing behind Ronald.

The sight of Idris, and the respectful manner in which he treated Ronald, sent a wave of shock through Yorick. His mind raced with confusion and questions. The last he remembered, both men had separate connections to Stella… or so he thought. Yorick’s gaze ping-ponged between Ronald and Idris, his mind a whirlwind of thoughts, but no answers came.

Idris respectfully stepped forward and said, “Sir, it seems Mr. Quarry isn’t here. Shall we leave first?”

What was going on? Yorick’s suspicions turned to alarm as he noticed Idris’s deferential attitude toward Ronald.

Just then, Thane returned from taking a call. Upon spotting Ronald and Idris, he greeted Ronald with a mix of formality and respect. “Mr. Lugar, a pleasure to see you again.”

Thane recognized Ronald as the heir

to the Lugar family, having met him five years prior. After all these years, Ronald’s face had lost the youthful immaturity, now marked only by maturity and composure.

Thane had actually been wanting to meet him in person for some time, but Yorick still needed to gain experience. Especially now, during this critical period for the Quarry Group, Thane wanted to see how Yorick would handle it on his own.

But this damn kid… He spent all his time caught up in matters of love.

As Thane shook hands with Ronald, his dressed-up appearance contrasted with Ronald’s more relaxed attire, emphasizing the importance of the meeting.

Yorick saw his father’s respectful attitude towards the man who had just fought with him, even addressing him as “Mr. Lugar.”

His mind went blank with a buzzing sound. He was stunned, his pupils suddenly contracting.

Thane gestured. “Mr. Lugar, this way please.”

Ronald passed by Yorick without sparing him a second glance. The cool fragrance brushed his senses, and Yorick snapped back to reality. He looked at Ronald’s retreating figure. “Mr. Lugar?” He… he was actually the heir to the Lugar family? No, this…

His mind buzzed again, exploding with shock!

Thane was being very courteous,

leading Ronald inside, and they were

chatting and laughing. Yorick

couldn’t hear a single word of their conversation. All he could hear was the incessant buzzing in his mind, disrupting his thoughts!

…

Yorick didn’t know how he got out of there. He stood outside the building, smoking one cigarette after another.
