A Widow's Poison, A Wife's Rebellion novel Chapter 1309

Starla barely remembered walking out of Yardley's room.

Garret was standing guard outside.

"Miss," he greeted her with a respectful nod.

She glanced at him, said nothing, and headed straight back to her own room.

Her private annex was fully prepared.

But since Elmer was home tonight, she stayed in the main building.

Romy was waiting for her.

"Well?" she asked eagerly as Starla walked in.

"So he's actually in love?"

Romy knew Starla hadn't gone in there out of sisterly affection.

She was fact-checking his motives.

The idea of Yardley genuinely falling for someone was almost laughable to anyone who knew him.

"It's hard to read!"

Yardley had always been ruthless.

Even if he did care for Susanna, it didn't guarantee she was his top priority.

Years ago at the Cyrus Sea.

Rumor had it he was genuinely devoted to Yvonne.

But that devotion ultimately couldn't withstand his ambition...

"Then let it go," Romy advised. "Just ignore them!"

If they wanted to create drama, let them.

The problem was that these people habitually dragged Starla into their mess. Fairfax hunted for Susanna and bothered Starla.

Susanna couldn't find Fairfax and harassed Starla.

Whenever something went wrong with those two, Yardley instinctively deflected the blame onto Starla.

It was beyond infuriating.

"Oh, I plan on ignoring them!"

Regardless of their toxic habits, she was washing her hands of the situation.

Her only focus now...
