A Widow's Poison, A Wife's Rebellion novel Chapter 1038

Getting along was one thing, but sharing a room every night?

Amos had been filing constant complaints with Fairfax.

But what could Fairfax do? He knew Starla was using Yvonne as a human shield to avoid him. It wasn't like he could just kick the door down and drag her out of Yvonne's bed.

Now, Amos was glaring at Starla with barely concealed resentment...

"You didn't get her?" Starla asked.

"Romy and Seymour were severely injured..." Fairfax said grimly.

Hearing that the two of them were badly hurt made her stomach drop.

During her month in Sylvan Vale, Romy and Seymour had been by her side every single day. Knowing they were heavily injured left a bitter taste in her mouth.

Lately, her fallout with Yardley and Herbert had escalated to terrifying heights.

She had shown zero mercy to Herbert's people!

And clearly, Herbert and Yardley were showing zero mercy to hers...

She knew they had completely severed ties, but hearing that the people who had protected her were now suffering still hurt.

"Starla, things are really tricky right now. Yardley's demanding that you..."

"Amos!"

Fairfax's icy bark cut Amos off before he could finish.

But even though the sentence was left hanging, Starla understood perfectly.

She looked at Amos. "He wants to trade me for her, doesn't he?"

Amos instinctively wanted to nod, but Fairfax was glaring at him with such lethal intent that he froze.

His heavy, oppressive silence was all the confirmation she needed.

"Hah!"

Starla let out a cold laugh. "I really don't understand him at all."

Yardley had thrown a massive, extravagant wedding for Susanna, and now he was suddenly offering to trade her to Fairfax in exchange for Starla?

The logic was entirely baffling.

Being tangled up with these people was exhausting!

Being born into their bloodline was an actual curse.

"Don't overthink it," Fairfax said.

"Are you saying you don't need me to trade for your own flesh and blood? If Yardley is offering this, it means Susanna is just a disposable pawn to him. Leaving her there means she's in constant danger."

Her first sentence dripped with heavy sarcasm.

After all, when it came down to choosing between the Yelchin family and her, Fairfax had always prioritized his family.

Back in Marina City, no matter what the Yelchin family did to her, she was always the one expected to swallow the injustice.

And now?

But her second point was entirely accurate.

If Yardley was willing to make this offer, it meant Susanna meant absolutely nothing to him.

So, what choice would Fairfax make this time?
