A Widow's Poison, A Wife's Rebellion novel Chapter 594

So, her relatives… had they been killed by his mother? If that were true, then his first meeting with Starla was never fate. It was a premeditated… act of revenge.

At the thought of “revenge,” Fairfax’s gaze sharpened as he looked at Starla.

Starla took a sip of her nourishing soup. Seeing the look in his eyes, she let out a soft laugh. “What have you been thinking about? Why are you looking at me like that?”

“Our first meeting… was it a deliberate setup by you?”

“Me? Setting you up?” Hearing this, Starla burst into sarcastic laughter. “Have you forgotten why I agreed to date you? I wasn’t even interested in you at first!”

The reminder made Fairfax’s breath catch in his throat.

It was true. He had brought up her past with Herbert… and she had likely fallen for his impersonation because her actual encounter with Herbert had been so brief she hadn't remembered his face. But he knew all the details.

“Then you…?” Fairfax’s breathing grew ragged.

“Me? Just give me the Yelchin Group. There’s no point in you knowing the rest.”

“Starla!”

“All you need to know is that every demand I’ve made is perfectly reasonable. You’re not getting a bad deal.”

Her demands were reasonable, she claimed. She wanted the entire Yelchin Group to fall, as simple as that. The company was built on a corrupt foundation, after all, and this was the price it had to pay.
