Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath (Stella) novel Chapter 1161

The entire scene had turned downright bizarre.

Especially for Idris. He hadn't had a woman by his side in years; his primary focus had always been executing tasks for Ronald Quinn.

And now, this mess had happened on his way back from dropping off Octavius.

Ronald’s expression turned stormier. "You're going to handle this?"

Idris stammered, "I... well..."

How was he supposed to handle it?

He had done countless things for Ronald over the years, but this had nothing to do with him; he had to defer to Mr. Quinn.

Idris had already interrogated Norma Lillian thoroughly and sent someone to verify her identity.

Her family's house on Westbridge Peninsula was indeed sold, a fact confirmed by former neighbors.

So what now? Was he supposed to personally drive her all the way to Philly? It was over a thousand miles, and with the roads not entirely being highways, it would take at least three days!

Three days... Idris got a headache just thinking about that number.

Before he could even finish his thought, Ronald shot him an intensely oppressive glare.

Idris fell completely silent.

Just like that, the rest of his words were swallowed back down.

Ultimately, Idris took Norma Lillian away.

Stella walked up behind Ronald, and he immediately pulled her into his arms. "Even Idris has his reckless moments."

At a critical time like this, how could he just bring a random person back?

Stella reasoned, "He's always meticulous. He must have investigated her thoroughly."

Ronald sighed, "Right now, my biggest fear is people with ulterior motives."

Stella paused.

Ulterior motives?

"I don't think so," she murmured.

The way Norma Lillian had nervously clutched Idris's sleeve earlier didn't look faked.

She clearly hadn't seen a spectacle like this before and was genuinely terrified.

Furthermore, her hands were deeply calloused and rough, especially around her palms and fingers, bearing the hallmarks of someone who spent years hauling fishing nets.

She had lived in the harsh, weather-beaten environment of Westbridge Peninsula for years. Although her complexion was somewhat fair, her skin had a weathered texture to it.
