Queen of Wild Cards novel Chapter 593

Stella was now absolutely certain that Roxanne was deliberately looking for a fight.

But why?

Was someone else putting her up to this, using her as a pawn?

Or was she yet another one of Julius's obsessed admirers?

But they were technically cousins!

Or did she just blindly hate her for no reason?

Stella was positive she had never met or even heard of Roxanne before today. Why target her?

"Julius, it looks like Roxanne is picking on Stella. Aren't you going to go defend her?"

Jason had been chatting with some of their cousins, but he always kept one eye on his grandmother's side of the room.

Seeing Roxanne lingering over there and clearly giving his sister-in-law a hard time, he quickly nudged his brother.

Julius was in the middle of discussing medical equipment imports with Uncle Abel. Hearing Jason's warning, he immediately looked over at his wife.

Sure enough, there was a situation unfolding.

"Excuse me for a moment, Uncle Abel."

He strode purposefully toward his grandmother.

Jason hurried after him, eager to see what kind of drama Roxanne was trying to stir up.

Everyone's attention was now drawn to Nadine's area, mostly because Roxanne wasn't exactly keeping her voice down.

The moment Julius walked up, he caught the tail end of Roxanne’s ridiculous speech.

He wrapped an arm firmly around Stella’s waist and said in a glacial tone, "Roxanne, what my wife gets my grandmother is none of your business. If you don't know how to speak properly, keep your mouth shut. No one is forcing you to talk."
