A Widow's Poison, A Wife's Rebellion novel Chapter 798

Why was she suddenly trying to act like a devoted daughter?

Brinley exploded. "Shut up! You grew up without a mother or a father, you orphan! You don't know the first thing about having a family! You don't understand anything!"

Starla's eyes went cold.

She wasn't going to sit here and listen to this trash. She hung up instantly and dialed Garret.

He picked up right away.

"I need the truth about why Herbert is helping Brinley, and I need it yesterday."

She couldn't afford to wait. She had been too lenient, and now Brinley was crawling back from the dead. This was entirely unacceptable. If Brinley had managed to secure Herbert's backing in this kind of desperate situation, what else was happening behind her back?

What about Darleen and Xenia Yelchin?

"Understood," Garret said sharply.

"And keep a close eye on Darleen and Xenia," Starla added.

"Yes, ma'am."

Garret knew exactly what she meant. If Herbert was pulling strings for Brinley, there was no telling if he was quietly aiding the rest of Starla's enemies.

Honestly, Garret was completely baffled by Herbert's behavior. Back in Marina City, the man had acted like Starla's ultimate protector. Now, his motives were completely indecipherable.

Starla tossed her phone onto the bed, feeling suffocated.

*Herbert. Herbert.*

*Why?*

Remembering Brinley's psychotic arrogance on the phone only fueled her rage.

...

Meanwhile, across town, Rudolf walked up behind Herbert. "Sir."

"What is it?"
