A Widow's Poison, A Wife's Rebellion novel Chapter 859

In front of Yardley, Starla never brought up Herbert or Fairfax.

Especially Herbert. Whenever she tried to explain the situation, regardless of the context, Yardley would insist that she needed to trust Herbert. His blind faith in the man made any conversation utterly pointless, so she had simply stopped trying.

"How is Susanna?" she asked as Yardley came back downstairs.

Susanna was one of the few people in the Yelchin family who had ever shown her kindness, so Starla felt obligated to ask.

Yardley frowned. He hated anyone prying into his private affairs, even his own sister.

"She was good to me when I was with the Yelchins," Starla offered as a mild explanation.

His expression softened slightly, but he gave a curt nod and walked out without answering.

The moment he left, her phone rang. It was Fairfax.

"Is Susanna with your brother?"

"You're just figuring that out now?"

Ever since he fled to Cyrus Sea, Fairfax had seemingly reinvented himself. He even had the power to reach Yoran Country. She assumed he was running a massive intelligence network by now, yet he was only just learning about Susanna.

"When she was with the family, she always treated you with respect," Fairfax said.

"So you're admitting that Xenia and Brinley were completely toxic to me?"

Fairfax went silent. The mention of Brinley and Xenia clearly struck a nerve.

"I've got some news for you," Starla added lightly.

"What?"
