A Widow's Poison, A Wife's Rebellion novel Chapter 970

Because of this sheer unpredictability, he absolutely had to find Yulisa.

"If you're this panicked over her, then just let me go," Tanya negotiated smoothly.

Darian tightened his jaw.

"I really didn't expect that to save her, you would actually..."

Tanya trailed off, the heavy disappointment in her tone communicating exactly what words could not.

"You really are terrified for her," Tanya observed coldly, taking in his disheveled, frantic state. When the entire city had been tearing Tanya apart online, he hadn't shown a fraction of this urgency!

"I'm not terrified for her," Darian denied.

"Then what is this? The smear campaign against me still hasn't been squashed, yet you're miraculously proactive when it comes to her."

It had been two full days! Up until now, the public attacks hadn't slowed down in the slightest. Yet the second Yulisa went missing, he was breaking down her door.

"Those rumors can't physically hurt you," Darian reasoned defensively.

"What did you just say?" Tanya stared at him, unable to comprehend what she was hearing.

"The public can't get past the guards to hurt you in here," Darian explained.

But Yulisa's situation was entirely different! She was currently in the hands of Tanya's operatives, which meant she was in immediate, physical danger.

Hearing those words, Tanya felt as if she had been struck by lightning. She genuinely couldn't believe those words had just come out of his mouth...

...

Ultimately, their confrontation ended in a bitter stalemate. No matter how aggressively Darian demanded answers, Tanya stuck to her single condition: her freedom. And Darian simply refused to give it to her.

Back in Sylvan Vale, Starla listened to Tanya's rant over the phone with mild surprise.
