A Widow's Poison, A Wife's Rebellion novel Chapter 1262

Starla pressed, "Or do you think that after everything your mother, your sister, Harriet, and Brinley put me through, I was out of line for fighting back?"

It was true.

Even before she discovered the deep-rooted vendetta involving her mother, the torment she suffered from Darleen, Brinley, Xenia, and Harriet had been more than enough.

Those women were the primary reason Starla had finally turned on the Yelchin family. She had flipped the table on them long before the ultimate truth had surfaced.

Susanna's chest heaved. "But my family's lives—"

Smack!

Before she could finish, Starla slapped her hard across the face. "You have no right to hold that against me. If you're coming after me for this, you're the one in the wrong!"

Susanna held her stinging cheek. "You..."

"Isn't that what you believe?" Starla snapped. "I fought back because of what they did to me, and now you think I'm the villain!"

The silence stretched, heavy and suffocating.

"You're pointing your anger at the wrong target," Starla whispered coldly. "Go kill Yardley."

Without another word, she turned and walked toward the entrance, leaving Susanna frozen in place.

Susanna's blood ran cold.

She couldn't believe what she had just heard. Starla actually told her to kill him! Her own flesh and blood!

She was incredibly selfish. Just to ensure her own peace, she was manipulating Susanna into directing her hatred at Yardley. It was terrifying. And absolutely sickening.
