Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath (Stella) novel Chapter 1111

Hearing Tegan's words, Uriah's expression froze, his eyes instantly flashing with biting anger. "Is this because I didn't take your side and indulge your tantrums whenever you clashed with Leslie in the past?"

Tegan fell silent.

At his words, Tegan's expression darkened.

She stared at him with icy detachment, not saying a word.

Uriah tightened his grip on her wrist. "Just let Leslie out first, okay?"

"If you don't like being around her, you don't have to deal with her anymore. You two never have to see each other again, all right?"

Tegan scoffed. "Never see each other again?"

"I'll send her to Novaderma," Uriah said. "She'll never return to Portis City. Does that work for you?"

Sending Leslie away seemed to be his ultimate concession.

His tone was heavy with suppressed frustration.

It was glaringly obvious that all these compromises were just to get Leslie out of custody as quickly as possible.

"Are you implying that I was the one who provoked her?" Tegan asked.

"Can we drop this for now? Tegan, she was beaten half to death by your friends. She was unconscious when they dragged her away."

His patience was clearly wearing thin.

A sarcastic smile touched Tegan's lips. "I hid all the way in Yoreland. I went out of my way to avoid you people."

"And now you're telling me we'll never see each other again? While acting like I'm the one who went after her?"

"Uriah, this is Yoreland. Yoreland, do you understand? We aren't in Portis City anymore."

Back in Portis City, he had constantly accused her of making a scene.

Now she had fled all the way to Yoreland, and he still believed she was the one provoking Leslie?

Tegan yanked her hand free from his grip and shot him a frigid glare.

But just as she turned to leave, Uriah grabbed her again. "Get her out first."

"If she really did cross you, I'll make her apologize."

Tegan was speechless.

Her eyes narrowed. In a flash, she spun around and delivered a stinging slap directly across Uriah's face.

The air in the room went dead silent.
