Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath (Stella) novel Chapter 1126

"You were his assistant. Is this how you help me?"

"Not anymore," Miriam said. "I quit yesterday!"

Tegan paused.

No wonder!

She hadn't received a call from Miriam in two days.

Previously, whenever Uriah couldn't handle Tegan, Miriam was the one sent in.

Even though Miriam disagreed with Uriah's actions regarding Leslie.

She always found ways to help him win Tegan back.

But this time...

"Are you always this tough with him?" Tegan asked.

Miriam scoffed. "After all the grief I've taken from him because of you and Leslie? Can't I run my mouth a little when I quit?"

Hearing Miriam say 'run my mouth,' Tegan couldn't help but laugh out loud.

This girl's sharp tongue wasn't something just anyone could handle!

When she got going, her words cut like a knife.

"I'm just worried he'll blacklist you in Portis City."

Tegan voiced her concern.

Uriah wasn't like Yorick Quarry in Portis City; he was a terrifying force to be reckoned with.

Quitting on such bad terms—given Uriah's temper, he would definitely put the word out.

By then, nobody would dare hire Miriam!

Unlike Tegan, Miriam didn't care about any of that. She looked at her friend and asked, "Did you forget?"

Tegan asked, "Forget what?"

"I have nothing to lose!" Miriam declared.

Tegan looked completely bewildered.

"Harper and I grew up in an orphanage," Miriam explained. "We don't have parents. She works for Jeremy Patel now, and she isn't afraid of that bastard's threats."

Jeremy Patel had a lot of flaws, but he had one redeeming quality: he was fiercely protective of his people!

Even though Harper was just his assistant.

She had been by his side for years, and Jeremy was a total rebel.

If Uriah dared to tell him not to employ Harper?

Knowing Jeremy's temper, he would absolutely blow up.
