Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath (Stella) novel Chapter 1128

Miriam was stunned.

Quintessa Horner?

She knew that name. Quintessa was a project director at the Horner Group.

Uriah was close to Quintessa.

Quintessa was a social butterfly at the company, always maintaining great relationships. Miriam used to think she was a genuinely good person.

But now?

"Quintessa?" Miriam was absolutely dumbfounded.

"Yes," Harper replied. "Quintessa used to visit the Gills family all the time. Uriah definitely knew about it."

"Now that things have escalated, the Horner and Gills families are absolutely going to arrange a marriage."

Miriam's mind reeled. She could barely process the rest of Harper's words.

All she could hear was *'Quintessa visited the Gills family all the time'* and *'Uriah definitely knew.'* Uriah absolutely had to have known.

Quintessa reported to him almost daily. They were always laughing and joking around.

If Quintessa was being set up to marry into the Gills family, there was no way Uriah was in the dark.

"Miriam, I already slapped Gideon twenty times for you. Just let it go."

"We're from different worlds. Even if you joined the Gills family, with a mother like his, your life would be a living hell."

Even if they were childhood sweethearts...

They were sweethearts divided by massive class lines.

Miriam didn't say a word. She hung up in silence, stepped out of her room, and looked toward the room Tegan had pointed out.

Flames of rage ignited in her eyes, burning hotter and hotter until she completely lost control.

...

When Tegan delivered the food to Finley, she ran into Skye, who had come looking for her brother.

Skye saw Tegan handing over the takeout, and her mouth twitched as she turned to Finley.

"You made... her... grab you lunch?"

"Yeah. Why?" Finley asked.
