Fairfax took a shaky breath. "No matter what extreme things she might try to do to you... can you please just let her go?"
Starla was stunned into silence.
Romy, sitting right next to her, couldn't believe her ears.
Was he seriously asking this right now?
"Herbert is also on his way to Maxlandia," Fairfax rushed out. "Starla, things are about to explode. Herbert might..."
He didn't need to finish the sentence.
He was right. The moment Susanna found out Starla had returned, she had completely lost her mind. Right now, she was likely throwing a fit, demanding Yardley hand over Starla's life.
But Starla was under the protection of Elmer's elite guards, and Herbert was inbound. Anyone with half a brain knew that Susanna's psychotic behavior was going to directly provoke Elmer's wrath.
And Herbert? That went without saying. He had been her ruthless shadow for months; if Susanna threatened her life, he wouldn't hesitate to end hers.
Fairfax was struggling to get into Maxlandia quickly, so he was desperately trying to ensure Susanna survived long enough for him to arrive.
"You want me to protect her?" Starla asked, her voice dropping.
"Your father and Herbert definitely won't let her walk away!"
Susanna's bloodlust was obvious. There was no way she could hide her intentions from a man like Elmer Hoggart. If there was no conflict, maybe Elmer would turn a blind eye since she was the woman his son favored.
But if she actively targeted Starla?
Elmer would instantly protect his daughter. The amount of danger Susanna was in was astronomical.
Starla remained silent.
Honestly, she had zero desire to interact with the Yelchins ever again. Even though she now understood that her retaliation in Marina City had been misplaced, she still wanted nothing to do with them.
When she didn't respond, Fairfax's breathing grew heavier. "Three lives, Starla. Let her live to repay the three lives that were lost."
