A Widow's Poison, A Wife's Rebellion novel Chapter 979

Starla's ruthlessness was on another level.

If his men had managed to tail Tanya covertly, he would at least know where she was. He could have gone after her! But now? His team had been intercepted. That meant finding her was going to be nearly impossible.

"Useless, all of you!" Darian erupted in a rare display of intense fury.

Now look at the mess: Yulisa was still missing, and he had completely lost Tanya.

It took him a full half hour to calm down enough to call Starla again.

"Can you let Yulisa go now?"

"Your men followed Tanya to the airport and my people intercepted them. You know about that, right?"

If he knew that and was still calling just to ask about Yulisa, there really were no words for how pathetic he was.

"We're obviously not in a position to negotiate about Tanya right now, are we?" Darian's tone had grown hostile. Tanya was a sore subject—why did Starla have to rub salt in the wound?

Starla scoffed. "Glad you're self-aware."

"Yulisa..."

"Flip the narrative," Starla interrupted before he could finish.

She hadn't gone through the trouble of grabbing Yulisa just to let her go so easily; she was going to squeeze every ounce of value out of this leverage.

"What did you say?"

Hearing this new condition, Darian felt like he was about to explode.

"What? Are you going to tell me you can't handle a little PR cleanup? You're really not much of a man, are you, Darian?"

In the grand scheme of things, fixing the media narrative wasn't a monumental task for someone of his status. But it wasn't a small favor either—especially since Tanya couldn't do it herself. If they went to war over public opinion, Tanya would be at a massive disadvantage against the Lynn family. The only person she could have relied on was him, and he had failed her spectacularly.

"What kind of result are you looking for?" Darian asked through gritted teeth.

"I was originally going to make you keep cleaning it up until I was satisfied. But since you asked, I'll spell it out: I want whoever stirred up this shitstorm to have their own reputation permanently ruined."

Let them see what it feels like to be despised by the entire city.
