A Widow's Poison, A Wife's Rebellion novel Chapter 959

The connection between them felt completely non-existent!

If Brinley actually had such a powerful backer, why hadn't she used him when Starla was thoroughly crushing her in Marina City? But if there was no connection, why was Licht suddenly out for blood?

Romy shook her head. "Nothing yet. I honestly don't get what the deal is between those two either."

"Right? It's incredibly strange," Starla mused.

Two people with absolutely zero overlap. There wasn't even a whisper of a connection back in Marina City.

But the moment Starla returned to Yoran Country, Licht suddenly cared so deeply about Brinley that Herbert and Yardley had practically formed a protective shield around her. And now, Licht wanted Starla dead because of it.

What kind of twisted history did they share?

"Honestly, I don't think we even need to be curious about it. Brinley is dead," Romy reasoned.

When Brinley was alive and had people protecting her, she strutted around like she owned the world. Now she was dust. What did it matter?

When Starla remained silent, Romy added, "We're going to kill the old bastard anyway."

So whatever history Licht had with Brinley was essentially a moot point.

"I know that," Starla murmured. "But I'm worried there's a deeper hidden agenda we aren't seeing."

Just like with Herbert and Yardley. Back then, she couldn't fathom why they both fiercely defended Brinley, only to later discover the massive web of interests tying them all together.

"I'll dig deeper," Romy promised, realizing the potential threat. If there was a hidden agenda, going in blind could be a fatal mistake.
