A Widow's Poison, A Wife's Rebellion novel Chapter 792

When he actually had the chance to treat her like a wife, he hadn't cared, preferring to orbit around Brinley instead. Now that Starla was completely, irrevocably done with him, the word "wifey" was suddenly rolling right off his tongue.

If he had taken their marriage seriously back then, they probably would have had a kid by now.

"He texted me this morning, too. 'Wifey, good morning!'" Starla said, her voice dripping with irritation.

"You must really want to kill him right now," Tanya muttered.

"Oh, absolutely. More than anything."

Tanya paused. "Do you... want to kill Herbert too?"

Herbert had helped Brinley. And in Starla's eyes, Brinley's hateability ranked right up there with the entire Yelchin family.

At the mention of killing Herbert, Starla fell silent.

A moment later, she sighed. "Not really."

She didn't want him dead. All she could think about right now was *why*. Why did Herbert help Brinley? And more importantly... would his actions end up hurting the Hoggart family?

How many secrets was he keeping from her? Was she nothing more than a pawn on his chessboard?

Her mind drifted to Brinley and Felix Fowler. She was sure that when Felix was planning to use Brinley, he had showered her with endless gentleness and affection. Comparing Herbert to a scumbag like Felix felt incredibly insulting, but after witnessing that trainwreck, she couldn't help but keep her guard up.

"I just don't get why he'd help her," Tanya said, genuinely baffled. Herbert was supposed to be the one person standing shoulder-to-shoulder with Starla on the front lines.

"I'm going to have someone look into it," Starla replied.

"Good. Find out the truth. I'd hate for this to just be a massive misunderstanding between you two."
