A Widow's Poison, A Wife's Rebellion novel Chapter 1352

Hearing Darian's words, Tanya felt a little better.

Starla had already taken a prominent role in the Hoggart Group, which made Elmer's supportive stance very clear.

"Honestly, I'm more worried about Herbert," Darian admitted.

Tanya glared at him, her expression souring instantly. "Why the hell are you worried about him?"

"His feelings for Starla..."

"Him? He's a piece of work," Tanya cut in sharply, refusing to even entertain the idea of 'feelings.'

As far as she was concerned, Herbert was just as bad—if not worse—than Fairfax.

Back in Marina City, when Starla and the Yelchin family were tearing each other apart, Herbert had stood behind her like a guardian angel.

At the time, everyone—including Starla—believed he was someone she could trust.

People thought he would be a good match for her once she finally got rid of Fairfax.

But who could have predicted how things would actually unfold?

By the time they reached Maxlandia, anyone in Starla's shoes would have been driven to the brink of insanity.

"There is absolutely no way he and Starla can have any kind of romance! If he keeps pestering her, he's just going to end up exactly like Fairfax."

They had all seen firsthand just how thoroughly disgusted Starla was by the very concept of love now.

"That's exactly what I'm worried about," Darian sighed.

It was obvious Herbert hadn't let go of his obsession with Starla. Darian feared that if the man kept pushing, he would only destroy himself, just like Fairfax did.

"You can't stop someone who's hell-bent on ruining their own life," Tanya said flatly.

Darian was momentarily speechless. That was certainly one way to put it.

"Anyway, you need to figure out what the hell your family is plotting," she urged.

It was too quiet. The kind of dead silence that usually preceded a massive storm.

"I know," Darian nodded. "I already have people looking into it."
