Ste stared at Yorick frostily, "Youe to yourself now?"


    If not, she''d go fetch a bucket and give him a cold shower right there and then.


    Yorick red at Ste, his chest heaving with anger, "You..."


    "A nightclub girl? Yorick, with your brain, I''m starting to question how you''ve been managing the Quarry Group. All sunshine, no rain, huh?" Yorick retorted, "What do you mean?"


    "With your IQ, aside from lying to your parents, how could you possibly run apany properly?"


    She didn''t believe it for a second.


    Clearly, Ste was calling Yorick an idiot.


    Yorick was so furious he nearly passed out.


    "You!"


    "You don''t even have the right to question me, and now you''re here insulting me? Maybe there are a few things you haven''t quite grasped?" Yorick was speechless.


    This infuriating woman, he really wanted to seal her mouth shut.


    "What things?"


    At this moment, Yorick was seething with rage. But Ste continued to twist the knife, "First off, I dumped you, and the whole of Portis City knows it!" Yorick remained silent.


    Ste continued, "Second, about Finley and Tegan, you''re still begging me, aren''t you?" Yorick couldn''t reply. The mention of Finley and Tegan only fueled his anger further.


    Two doctors, linking human lives to Ste''s words, what kind of doctors were they?


    Ste added, "Begging me on one hand, insulting and threatening me on the other?"


    As Ste recalled the time in the hospital when Cloudia and Jaxon even threatened to kidnap her, a chill shed in her eyes.


    Yorick, furious as he was, found


    himself at a loss for words. Especially with Ste''s serious expression as she metaphorically stabbed him in the chest, making him finally realize that her breaking off their engagement was serious.


    Suddenly, he felt a tightness in his chest, suffocated and


    he


    ufortable. His face paled as asked, "Then tell me, what''s the rtionship between you and that man at the hospital? He called you ''Miss'', what kind of ''Miss'' are you exactly?"


    That was the question Yorick needed answers to. He wouldn''t leave until he got them today.


    Ste looked at him with a smirk, "Why should I tell you?"


    Her retort was sharp.


    "Was I not clear enough with my words earlier?"


    Silence.


    "Do you need me to exin it again? Would that help?"


    Idiot! Such an idiot, how on earth did Yorick manage to run the Quarry Group so well?


    In fact, Ste was now seriously doubting whether Yorick had been only reporting the good and hiding the bad.


    From the outside, the Quarry Group seemed to be at the pinnacle of sess. But internally, who knew what mess he had created.


    Yorick stared at her coldly. Seeing her refusal to answer, he decided to ignore Ste''s rhetorical question.


    "Then let me ask differently, why are you staying at Wave Residence? And who owns it?"


    Ste teased, "So eager to find out who''s behind it, nning to buy it for Urs''s recuperation, huh?"


    Though the thought wasughable it still irked Ste. Her ce, eyed by


    a sick person - if something bad happened there, it would be a curse.


    JMS


    Yorick pressed, "Is it Finley? Or the man you were with at Silk-River Residences? Or maybe, the man from the hospital today?"


    Ste faced these humiliating questions, her patience finally reaching its limit.
