A Widow's Poison, A Wife's Rebellion novel Chapter 1206

Asa nodded. "Understood."

She left the room.

Now alone, Yardley took a slow drag from his cigar.

Deep inside his chest, an incredibly unfamiliar emotion began to unfurl...

Knowing Yardley was eager for the results, Garret didn't waste a second.

In just three short hours, he traced the entire timeline. Before, when they investigated in Marina City, they had only looked at the Yelchins.

They never expected that hiding behind the Yelchins...

The Yelchins had been the perfect smokescreen!

All the evidence had pointed at them, flawlessly burying the real truth.

When Yardley read the final report Garret handed him, the dark, murderous aura surrounding him deepened to terrifying levels.

He closed his eyes, dangerous energy rolling off him in waves. "Well played, Clark family..."

Every syllable was ground out through his teeth. His eyes snapped open, blazing with a chilling light that seemed to freeze the very air in the study.

The Clark family had always been bitter rivals of the Hoggarts.

For years, they had clashed over every conceivable business interest, locked in an endless war for dominance.

And the root of their blood feud traced back to a failed marriage alliance...

Back then, the Clarks weren't as powerful as the Hoggarts. One of the Clark daughters had tried to sink her claws into Elmer Hoggart.

She used every manipulative, pathetic trick in the book, which only made Elmer despise her more.

Eventually, she went to see him one day and never came back...

When they finally found her, she was dead!

The Clark family was convinced Elmer was the one who did it! After all, the Elmer of that era was a genuinely dangerous man.

It was exactly the kind of thing he would do!

Since then, the two families had been locked in a blood feud.

So it was the Clarks who made the move... But how?

His father had hidden his mother so well. Her presence in Marina City was a perfectly kept secret. How did the Clarks ever find out she existed?
