A Widow's Poison, A Wife's Rebellion novel Chapter 608

"Before, she was just suspicious, and she was already losing her mind. Now that she knows for a fact, there's no way anyone is sleeping," Starla remarked coldly.

Brinley's night had been hell yesterday, and tonight was going to be infinitely worse.

"It's karma," Garret said.

"They're getting exactly what they deserve," Starla replied, her tone flat.

Whenever she thought about how her own babies had been deliberately killed—and that Darleen had secretly been complicit in it—Starla's heart turned entirely to stone. She knew the truth now: Darleen had never wanted her to give birth to Fairfax's children. If Brinley hadn't orchestrated the accidents, Darleen likely would have done it herself.

...

The Yelchin estate was officially descending into pure chaos.

Meanwhile, Fairfax finally managed to see Herbert at the Farley Group headquarters around noon.

By this point, whatever brotherhood they had shared was entirely shattered.

Fairfax took a drag from his cigarette. "Before Starla went to the orphanage, what kind of family did she have?"

Herbert's pen froze instantly over the document he was signing. The man behind the gold-rimmed glasses looked up, a terrifyingly cold glint in his eyes.

Standing outside the towering Farley Group headquarters, he looked up at the sky. It was a rare, glaringly sunny day after a heavy snowstorm. But despite the bright light, the air was bitterly cold, the chill seeping directly into his bones.

After all this time, he finally understood the root of Starla's absolute hatred for the Yelchin family.

Years ago, when his father, Harley Yelchin, had first taken over the family empire from his grandfather, things had been unstable. Several uncles had fought viciously for control. To secure his throne, Harley had been forced to take drastic, ruthless measures. The Yelchin family had gone through a very dark period.

When Fairfax eventually took the reins, he discovered that his father had quietly paid out massive sums of hush money to cover up past sins. What he hadn't realized was that the collateral damage of that dark era had directly involved Starla's family.

No wonder she was acting like an avenging angel! Though he still didn't know exactly who had died, Fairfax understood that this was a fight to the death. She didn't just want the Yelchin Group. She wanted to grind the entire empire into dust!
