A Widow's Poison, A Wife's Rebellion novel Chapter 312

At Darleen’s command, everything she had built could have been frozen solid. But not anymore.

Now she had Yardley and the entire Hoggart Group at her back. The tables had turned completely.

From the driver's seat, Rudolf sighed. “If only you’d found Ms. Hoggart sooner, sir. She wouldn't have had to suffer so much with that family.”

The mention of her suffering sent a chill through Herbert, his jaw tightening. Sooner… Yes, it should have been sooner.

“Perhaps this was her mother’s will,” he murmured, his voice laced with a cold resolve. He was determined to watch Starla tear Fairfax to shreds—not just Fairfax, but the entire, rotten Yelchin family.

...

Back at Cosmos Summit, Starla saw the string of missed calls from both Fairfax and Gabriel. She had ignored them at the restaurant, but now, she decided to call Fairfax back. The act of returning his call, rather than ignoring it, was a power move in itself.

The phone was answered on the first ring. Before she could speak, Fairfax’s voice, tight with fury, shot through the line. “Are you done with Herbert?”

“Yes,” she replied, her tone even.

That one simple word was like a lit match to gasoline. Fairfax exploded.
