A Widow's Poison, A Wife's Rebellion novel Chapter 1337

This was the real Starla. If she cared about every little thing, she would have been crushed by now. No one knew the agonizing mental war she had fought during her recovery. The battle between the soft, forgiving woman she used to be and the ruthless survivor she needed to become had nearly torn her apart. In Smaro Town, she had finally defeated her weaker self.

Now, no one could use her emotions against her.

Luce walked back into the dining room. "Miss."

"What did David say?" Starla asked.

"Mr. Hoggart is kicking your brother out of the family."

Starla and Romy exchanged a shocked glance.

"Yardley has been at the main house causing a scene for an hour," Luce continued. "Your father is furious."

An hour. Yardley hadn't gone there to argue with their father—he had gone there to get to her, but Elmer's guards had intercepted him. The blowout must have been massive for Elmer to consider excommunicating his only son.

Starla gave a cold laugh. "Kicked out. I guess Susanna really was the love of his life."

They had assumed Yardley's affection for Susanna was just another calculated move. Given his track record—including using his own sister—it was hard to believe he was capable of genuine love. But the truth was undeniably clear now.

"I'm going over there," Starla said, standing up.
