A Widow's Poison, A Wife's Rebellion novel Chapter 1033

Hearing Fairfax declare that he was going to turn Herbert and Yardley's lives upside down, Starla laughed again.

"And what does that have to do with you?"

"They threatened your safety, how does that not have anything to do with me?!" Fairfax gritted his teeth.

Just because she said it had nothing to do with him didn't make it true!

Thinking about everything those two had pulled recently made him want to rip someone apart.

He was genuinely terrified just thinking about the aftermath...

If Seymour and Romy hadn't managed to smuggle her out of Yoran Country.

If she had actually been handed over to General Licht by Yardley, he couldn't even stomach the thought of what would have happened to her.

That old bastard Licht was an absolute psychopath!

To this day, Fairfax still hadn't figured out what Licht's connection was to Brinley.

If it was out of affection, it made zero sense!

Back in Marina City, Brinley had been tormented mercilessly, and that old creep hadn't lifted a finger to protect her.

And yet, later on...

"You're quite good at putting on an act too, aren't you?" Starla interrupted his thoughts.

Fairfax's rising fury was instantly extinguished by her deadpan remark. "What is that supposed to mean?"

"I was never that important to you."

So all this righteous anger he was displaying? It was purely performative.

He was a great actor!

Honestly, when men decided to be manipulative, they put mean girls to shame. He was acting completely fake!

Fairfax's face darkened significantly. She didn't believe him. Right now, she was entirely incapable of believing anything or anyone.

Starla turned and walked out.

Left alone in the room, Fairfax chain-smoked one cigarette after another.

When Amos Kunan walked in, the thick cloud of smoke nearly choked him, making him want to immediately step back out.
