A Widow's Poison, A Wife's Rebellion novel Chapter 971

Starla wouldn't have advised Tanya this way if she hadn't gone through that ordeal herself.

But things were different now.

After her fallout with Fairfax, she saw things with crystal clarity.

Tanya: "You're right. He completely mishandled the media backlash. He claims those people can't get to me here, but does he expect me to wait until I'm physically attacked for it to count as real harm?"

Thinking about what Darian had just said to her, she felt... furious!

Tanya took a deep breath. "You're right. If I want revenge, I have to wait until I'm free from him."

Previously, Starla's entire focus had been on getting back at Brinley. Plus, Fairfax had seemed fed up with the entanglement and constantly acted as though he wanted a divorce. Who knew he would play her like that in the end? To this day, Starla's marital status was listed as widowed, not divorced! It was sickening—as if he was determined to keep them tied together even in death.

Tanya had to guard against Darian pulling a similar stunt. Furthermore, her pregnancy meant she couldn't afford to wait, which was exactly why Darian was intentionally stalling.

"Do you understand now?" Starla asked.

"I do," Tanya replied.

Earlier, she had thought about making Yulisa pay for inciting such a massive public smear campaign. But Starla's reminder changed her perspective. Even if she wanted to fight back, sticking around to play their exhausting games was a losing strategy. Her top priority had to be getting out safely.

"We can't afford any mistakes this time. I'm counting on you," Tanya told her.

"Don't worry. Darian's too distracted to keep a close eye on you anyway," Starla replied.
