Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath (Stella) novel Chapter 1181

At Cloudscape Estate in Ferrowland.

Dan Murray sat on the wooden balcony, a cigar between his fingers, his gaze fixed on a car speeding up the winding mountain road.

The headlights were blinding, the speed reckless.

Carroll appeared respectfully behind him. "Boss, Leroy called again. He said the old man isn't doing well."

"How isn't he doing well?" Dan asked coldly.

He showed zero concern for his father's suffering. An outsider might have assumed they had no relationship at all.

Perhaps they once shared a father-son bond, but Derek Murray had buried that connection with his own two hands.

Because of that, no one could blame Dan for his current indifference.

Carroll replied, "He was provoked by Ms. Tucker. She kept reminding him of his infertility."

"He's never going to shake that reality for the rest of his life. What's so hard to accept?"

Carroll was speechless.

What a thing to say... This was about a man's ultimate pride. How could anyone easily accept that?!

"I'm not a doctor," Dan continued. "If I go back, does it magically prove he can have kids?"

His frustration over Yvonne Quinn had drained whatever little patience he possessed.

Carroll remained silent.

If Derek heard those words, he'd probably have a heart attack!

Before they could say another word, a dangerous gust of wind swept in from behind them. Carroll reacted instantly, turning to block the attack.

Instead, a brutal blow landed on his stomach, sending him flying off the wooden balcony with a heavy thud!

Dan's breathing hitched. He spun around, meeting Xander Schultz's icy glare.

Kyle shot Xander a look, then jumped down from the balcony to stop Carroll from calling for backup.

A cold smirk tugged at the corner of Dan's mouth. "Why so desperate?"
