A Widow's Poison, A Wife's Rebellion novel Chapter 1295

Before, they had merely assumed Susanna was just a special little pet to Yardley.

Now, it was obvious she was much more than that!

So much so that she was making Yardley lose his damn mind.

Elmer narrowed his eyes dangerously. "And where is Fairfax?"

"We haven't found him yet."

"Find him immediately!" Elmer ordered, his voice dripping with ice.

After the stunt Yardley pulled, he was more determined than ever to get rid of the man.

"It seems his sudden marriage alliance with the Merlin family wasn't as straightforward as it seemed," Elmer noted, his tone dropping a few more degrees.

The abrupt announcement of the engagement had already made Elmer suspect it was tied to the Yelchin siblings.

And sure enough...!

It was all a massive scheme just to protect that woman. A dark, vicious glint flashed in Elmer's eyes.

But the next second, noticing Starla had walked in, he immediately masked the killing intent...

The ice in his eyes melted into absolute adoration. "Why are you up so early?"

"I've slept so well these past two days. I'm not tired anymore," she replied.

It was true—when a person finally got some proper rest, their energy levels bounced back entirely.

During her time in Smaro Town, she had felt lethargic every single day. She was exhausted, yet unable to sleep.

Looking back, it was entirely because the environment there had been suffocating.

Herbert Farley had constantly been hovering around her, always in her line of sight.

Even when he said he would give her time...

She had felt overwhelmed!

Even when he said nothing and just sat quietly by her side, it agitated her.

To put it bluntly, she just hadn't wanted to deal with him!

Now that both Herbert and Fairfax were out of the picture, she finally had a moment to breathe, and her mental burden felt significantly lighter.

"David prepared your favorite breakfast," Elmer said warmly.

"Great."
