A Widow's Poison, A Wife's Rebellion novel Chapter 1294

Anyone who worked closely with Elmer Hoggart knew that leaking information was a capital offense.

No matter how big or small the matter, if Elmer hadn't authorized its release, no one dared breathe a word of it to the outside world.

Yardley knew this perfectly well.

Yet here he was, delusional enough to think he could extract information about Fairfax from his father's men.

His fury had already hit the boiling point!

"Do you really think I won't kill you?" he raged.

David gestured toward the elevator. "After you."

Yardley glared at him.

Luce stood behind David, his eyes equally cold as he watched Yardley.

Right now, he was facing two walls: one of his father's most trusted confidants, and the man personally assigned to protect Starla.

If Yardley wanted to see either his sister or his father tonight, he would have to shoot them both.

But if he actually crossed that line!

Not only would Susanna and Fairfax be dead meat, but he himself would be doomed.

He knew exactly what these two men meant to his father!

No matter how cold-blooded and ruthless he was to the outside world, he didn't dare unleash that violence directly onto his father's inner circle.

He forced himself to endure it.

Somehow, he swallowed his towering rage, holstered his weapon, and turned around, stepping into the elevator.

Seeing him leave, David and Luce let out a collective breath.

Only when the elevator began its descent did Luce speak up. "It seems Mr. Hoggart has entirely run out of patience for that Yelchin boy."

David narrowed his eyes. "I thought she was just a plaything to Yardley, but it looks like her influence over him is far too strong."

Luce nodded in agreement.

Going to such extremes for a woman—this was something completely unprecedented for Yardley.

Elmer had already been disappointed enough in his son lately.
