A Widow's Poison, A Wife's Rebellion novel Chapter 965

Darian's expression stiffened.

"Or is it just too inconvenient to investigate?" Tanya pressed relentlessly. "Or maybe, you already know exactly who did it, but it's just too inconvenient to punish them?"

Darian's brow furrowed into a deep scowl. Did he know who leaked it? Deep down... he had a pretty good idea.

"Actually, it makes perfect sense," Tanya continued coolly. "With a circle this small, anyone with half a brain could guess."

He said nothing.

"It was Yulisa, wasn't it?"

"No, it wasn't her!" Darian fired back without a second of hesitation. His immediate, fierce defense of Yulisa spoke volumes. His blind faith in her far surpassed whatever misplaced trust Fairfax had once placed in Brinley.

Tanya stared at him in cold, piercing silence, making Darian's chest tighten with an inexplicable dread.

Taking a deep breath, he tried to reason with her. "It really wasn't her. She wouldn't do something like that. Actually... right now, she's trying to help us." He paused, looking at Tanya earnestly. He desperately wanted her to understand that Yulisa wasn't the villain she imagined.

Hearing this, Tanya almost burst out laughing at the sheer absurdity. "Help us?" If Yulisa hadn't actively schemed against her in the past, Tanya might have almost believed him.

"You shouldn't be so paranoid about her," Darian sighed. "We grew up together. I know exactly what kind of person she is. I know you're probably thinking of Brinley Seabrook right now, but Brinley doesn't even come close to comparing to Yulisa!"

"Well, if you put it like that, I guess I can't really say a bad word about her, can I?" Tanya deadpanned.

"You—"

"Then enlighten me. Who is responsible for having me dragged through the mud in front of the entire city?"

Darian fell completely silent. Her sharp interrogation hit its mark perfectly. It was painfully obvious that he knew exactly who had orchestrated the leak.
