Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath (Stella) novel Chapter 178

"Mr. Quinn is not stingy, you know."

Jeremy just stared blankly.

Really?

He seemed pretty tight-fisted, especially where Stella was concerned. A little spat with Sirena, and Ronald acted like it was the end of the world.

And yet, Idris claimed he's not stingy?

...

After seeing Jeremy off, Idris returned to Ronald's side. "Sir."

"He's gone?"

Idris nodded. "Yes."

"What do you think of him?" Ronald asked, his voice carrying a weighty tone.

After a moment's thought, Idris replied, "Compared to the others, Mr. Patel is indeed a solid choice."

"Then it's settled," Ronald said, his tone turning icy as he made the decision.

Idris inclined his head in agreement.

Jeremy was indeed the right choice- mostly because he was ruthless! Beneath his laid-back demeanor, Jeremy had proven himself tough as nails during the Patel family feud.

Ronald glanced at his watch, noting it was lunchtime, and dialed Stella's number.

"Ronald?"

"I'm coming to pick you up."

Stella seemed taken aback. "Huh? Didn't I tell you I'm having lunch with Susie?"

"Cancel it."

Ronald's voice was gentle, yet the quiet authority in his tone left no room for refusal.

On the other end, Stella pouted. "Okay, fine."

Ronald added, "I'll take you somewhere fun to eat."

"Fun to eat? What's that?" Stella asked, her curiosity instantly piqued. "Then hurry up and come get me."

Who could resist the promise of good food and fun? Certainly not Stella.

Ronald chuckled softly, affirming with a 'Hmm' before hanging up.

Stella quickly called Susanna. "My brother said he's taking me somewhere fun to eat, so don't come over."
