A Widow's Poison, A Wife's Rebellion novel Chapter 1305

Susanna couldn't believe it. She couldn't fathom that Starla had grown so utterly apathetic toward Fairfax's survival.

She couldn't believe it, yet she was forced to swallow the bitter truth.

She didn't even know how Starla had ended the call.

Listening to the harsh beep of the disconnected line, Susanna slumped, drained of all strength!

Fighting through the agonizing pain in her body, she forced herself downstairs. She had to find Yardley.

It was too cold...

Starla's ruthless detachment made one thing devastatingly clear.

Begging her for help with Fairfax was a dead end.

The woman was heartless.

Even though she had wrongly targeted the Yelchins in her revenge, she harbored zero guilt.

If she had even a shred of conscience, she wouldn't be this callous.

As Susanna dragged herself toward the door, a staff member blocked her path. "Ms. Yelchin, Mr. Hoggart left strict orders. You are not to leave the premises."

"I need to see him!"

"He said he will come to you."

"But I can't reach him right now!"

"He will contact you when he is available."

Susanna felt sick.

He will come to her!

He will contact her when he's available?

The words grated against her ears like rusted metal!!

It was the exact tone an owner used for a caged canary.

Everything revolved around his schedule.

His time, his availability.

Her chest ached sharply. "Then contact him for me!"

"Apologies!"

They couldn't!

Panic surged through her. She was already terrified, and being held prisoner only amplified her dread.

She hadn't been able to reach Fairfax since the previous night.

And now his phone was completely switched off.

Yardley had promised he would handle the situation, but now...

What was he playing at?

He was ignoring her calls, so how was he handling it? Had he found her brother or not?
