A Widow's Poison, A Wife's Rebellion novel Chapter 1204

She was terrified that Fairfax wouldn't be able to escape his clutches.

If Fairfax had stayed in Cyrus Sea, Yardley would have had to go to great lengths to deal with him.

But Maxlandia was different!

Here, Yardley was king.

"That's not something you need to worry about," Fairfax said.

"Fairfax!" her voice grew sharp.

What wasn't her concern? It felt like nothing was ever her concern! But she was a Yelchin...

"Don't fall for him," Fairfax warned abruptly. "The Yelchin family and the Hoggart family are now sworn, mortal enemies."

"After Starla died, you..."

"Even if she was still alive, it wouldn't change a damn thing!"

Through the receiver, Fairfax’s voice trembled with sheer, unadulterated rage.

Hearing those words, Susanna’s heart jolted. The hatred lacing his tone was so intense it sounded like he wanted to tear reality itself apart.

"What exactly did you send him?"

"I sent..." Fairfax paused.

Then, grinding out every word, he said, "The truth about how their mother died."

Their mother? The truth about how Yardley and Starla's mother died? Could it be...

"Did it have nothing to do with us?"

Dead silence echoed over the line.

But the dark, violent energy rolling off Fairfax seemed to transmit straight through the phone.

Her breath caught in her throat as she waited for an answer.

Nothing to do with them?

If they were innocent, then what was the point of everything Starla had done to their family?

And what was the excuse for all the cruel things Yardley had done?!

"Fairfax!" she gasped, feeling suffocated.

"Just listen to me," he said roughly. "Do not get emotionally involved with Yardley Hoggart."
