A Widow's Poison, A Wife's Rebellion novel Chapter 692

"Exactly! We were just doing her a favor. It doesn't concern us directly, so why is she taking her anger out on me?"

Darleen had never expected to get completely shut down by Mrs. Shipley.

No, it didn't have anything to do with them!

But they were banking on Mrs. Shipley taking down Starla so their own mess would be resolved in the crossfire.

Xenia's face fell. "Is she... not coming? We've been counting on her this whole time."

Darleen didn't answer.

Her face turned a sickly shade of gray.

"If Mrs. Shipley doesn't show up, we are completely screwed!"

Their entire survival strategy depended on Mrs. Shipley dealing with Starla.

But Mrs. Shipley's attitude on the phone was baffling.

If she wasn't coming, what were they supposed to do?

"Is Mrs. Shipley really just going to let her husband keep Starla as a mistress?" Xenia fumed.

Six days!

No one knew the sheer amount of hope they had pinned on this woman over the past six days.

And now, with a single, dismissive "Does this have anything to do with you?", it was all over?

Did that mean all their hopes were just flushed down the drain?

Xenia's chest heaved with rage. "This is infuriating! We've been waiting for her, and she gives us this attitude?"

Darleen looked sick to her stomach.

The higher their hopes had soared, the harder they were crashing down now. It was agonizing.

The psychological torture was unbearable.

"She's still just a woman," Xenia sneered. "No matter what happens, a few sweet words from her man and she's probably back to normal."
