Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath (Stella) novel Chapter 1106

With that said, Tegan hung up the phone.

However, just as she ended the call, it rang again. It was Mrs. Horner.

Tegan blocked the number without a second thought.

Unable to reach Tegan, Mrs. Horner called Uriah, immediately launching into a hysterical rant.

"That Tegan has absolutely zero regard for the bond we've shared all these years. She even has the nerve to complain that we didn't raise her well enough."

Uriah was still in the hospital. His wounds had shown signs of infection.

"It's simply outrageous," Mrs. Horner continued. "She even had someone hurt you. Even if she doesn't care about our relationship, what about you? You've always spoiled her!"

"If you ask me, she turned out this way entirely because of how much you indulged her."

"She isn't just ruthless toward Leslie now; she doesn't even show me an ounce of respect. We never should have..."

"Her father saved Dad's life. We never should have what?" Uriah interrupted her with a somber tone before she could finish.

"But she..." Mrs. Horner stammered.

"And you certainly didn't raise her properly," he added.

"You..."

Wait, why was he taking an outsider's side?

"At the very least, your attitude toward her has never been fitting for the daughter of the man who saved our family," Uriah said firmly.

"What's wrong with our attitude? Did I ever let her starve or freeze?"

"Every meal she ate and every piece of clothing she wore was arranged by my executive assistant," Uriah countered.

"..." Mrs. Horner was speechless.

What was he talking about?

"If there's nothing else, I'm hanging up," Uriah said.

"Wait! How is Leslie doing right now?"

Whenever Leslie was mentioned, Mrs. Horner's tone brimmed with anxiety, terrified that her precious daughter was suffering.

Hearing Helena’s claims about Leslie’s beating left her unable to eat or catch a wink of sleep.

Her hatred for Tegan deepened into something truly toxic.

"I haven't been able to see her yet," Uriah replied.
