Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath (Stella) novel Chapter 1145

Hearing Uriah's demand, Tegan's heart sank like a stone.

When it came to Leslie, she simply had no words left.

Seeing Tegan remain silent while glaring coldly at Uriah, Mrs. Horner grew increasingly anxious.

"At least let her out so she can get medical treatment! Let me see my daughter!"

Not knowing what kind of state her precious Leslie was in was driving Mrs. Horner out of her mind.

Back in Portis City, she had already been unable to eat or sleep.

Now that she was finally here but still couldn't see her daughter, her anxiety had peaked into sheer desperation.

"I have no control over this matter," Tegan stated flatly.

Dropping those words, she turned on her heel to leave.

Seeing Tegan remain unyielding even after she had softened her tone, Mrs. Horner lost her temper completely.

"Tegan, are you really going to be this heartless?" she yelled.

Tegan stopped in her tracks. Without turning around, she narrowed her eyes and said, "Mrs. Horner, please don't insult the concept of 'family bonds'."

Family bonds?

No one in the Horner family had the right to talk to her about bonds. They simply didn't deserve to.

Mrs. Horner was rendered speechless.

Hearing Tegan's freezing tone, her heart plummeted.

How could she...? She was too ruthless.

"Fine then. We will hire the best lawyers in the world for Leslie. Are you absolutely sure you want to face the Horner family in court?"

Tegan closed her eyes briefly. Without gracing her with a response, she walked away.

Finley Yoder stepped out from around the corner, a mocking smirk playing on his lips as he looked at Uriah.

The moment Uriah saw Finley, his temples began to throb violently.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk," Finley clicked his tongue. "Do you genuinely not believe that Tegan was kidnapped by Leslie? Or does your heart just bleed too much for your precious little sister?"

"Shut up!" Uriah snarled.

Tegan's icy indifference had nearly driven him mad; he was in no mood to entertain Finley's taunts.

"Your sister committed kidnapping. She kidnapped the woman you claim to care about. And your grand solution is to take that very woman to court," Finley drawled.

"Uriah, I'm just calling it like I see it. No one is ever going to want anything to do with the Horner family after this. Who in their right mind would join a family that devours people whole?"
