Chapter 424
[ 562 words ]
Tegan sniffled, her voice sharp, “I’m moving out of the Horner family. I don’t want anything to do with you again.”
Vivian was stunned. “What?”
Sirena just stared at them, eyes wide. Were they trying to give Vivian a heart attack?
As for Stella, after what happened last time, she finally understood her position in Ronald’s heart. And Tegan, no matter how the Horner family elders treated her, was always cherished by Uriah.
Sirena glanced at Vivian, her mind screaming two words: It’s over!
Clearly, Vivian had poked a hornet’s nest today. What was she thinking, going out with her?
Without saying a word, Sirena got up and left. She wanted no part in this drama.
“Sirena,” Vivian called after her. Even though she was annoyed by Sirena’s earlier attempts to mediate, she couldn’t handle this alone.
But Sirena pretended not to hear and quickly left the scene.
Vivian watched Sirena leave, her chest heaving with frustration as she turned to Stella and Tegan.
“You two, do you even realize I’m the one getting beaten here? What are you even pretending for?” She shouted, anger rising.
Stella had just hung up Ronald’s call. “Weren’t you always the one who loved playing the victim like Ursula, even using it to hurt others?”
Tegan nodded. “Exactly.”
What was it now? They were just giving her a taste of her own medicine, and she couldn’t handle it, huh? Vivian almost fainted from rage. Those two were driving her insane!
Meanwhile, Ronald was fuming in the car. The tension was palpable, and Finley, sitting beside him, was sweating bullets, especially after hearing Stella mention “Finley’s blind date” on the phone.
The car was speeding like there was no tomorrow.
Ronald took a drag from his cigarette, glancing fiercely at Finley.
Even Finley, who was used to Ronald’s moods, couldn’t help but swallow hard.
“Let’s be real here. You think a defenseless woman could really take down Star? Sometimes, you need to look at the facts, right?”
That girl had escaped Xander’s
fortress-like security. Her stamina
swn yelet
and strength were definitely unmatched by his any blind date.
Ronald’s eyes narrowed. “She cried.”
Finley winced. “So, whoever cries is right?”
Ronald’s glare grew colder, looking as if threatening to toss him out of the car.
Finley quickly raised his hands in surrender. “Okay, okay, Star got hit, and she cried.”
Fine, if he had to say the little princess got hit, then she got hit. But when did she learn to play the victim first?
He knew Stella well enough to know she wouldn’t back down from anyone, let alone this so-called date. Feeling Ronald’s icy tension, Finley swallowed again. “It has nothing to do with me, okay?”
Ronald took another drag of his cigarette as they stopped at the mall where Stella had sent her location.
Ronald stepped out first. “That was your date.”
Finley followed quickly. “We only
went out twice, and I wasn’t even et
interested. It’s just a date, not my
wifed’m not taking the blame for this!”
QUMS
Why was he so unlucky? Maybe he was cursed in his past life. How else could a simple date lead to such chaos?
When exiting the car behind them, Idris gave Finley’s shoulder a reassuring pat.
Finley looked at him. “What’s that supposed to mean?”
Idris shrugged. “You better hope your date didn’t do anything to Miss Stella.”
If she did, things could get really messy.
Finley grimaced. “Even if something happened, it’s not my fault, right?”
Besides, there was no way Stella would trusted
