A Widow's Poison, A Wife's Rebellion novel Chapter 538

“What is she trying to do? Just throw her out on the street to beg?”

This was a serious problem. A woman her age…

“Is this Starla’s way of forcing the divorce?” Caden quickly pieced it together.

If that was the case, he couldn’t possibly help.

Starla was asking for an obscene amount this time. First, it was several billions. Now she wanted the entire Yelchin family fortune, and of course, they couldn’t just hand it all over. So this was her next move? Things had really escalated into a full-blown war in just the few days he hadn't seen them.

Fairfax took another long, harsh drag from his cigarette. “If I’d known she was this ruthless, I never would have gotten involved with her!”

Caden remained silent.

Fairfax was drowning in regret. He used to dismiss the opinions of the older generation, thinking their warnings were baseless. But now, he believed them. He even started to think they had their reasons for treating Starla the way they did. The problem had always been Starla herself. The personality she was showing now was utterly detestable.

Seeing Fairfax react this way, Caden realized he was completely in the dark. He clearly had no idea about the true relationship between Starla and Yardley.

This was giving Caden a headache.

Just then, Fairfax looked at him again. “Can you send someone over?”

Caden thought, “Is this even about Herbert?” If Starla only had Herbert backing her, he wouldn't have been in such a rush to pull out of his partnership with the Yelchin Group. The person behind her was far more terrifying than Herbert—the Hoggart Group.

“Listen to me,” Caden said. “Just give Starla whatever she wants and finalize the divorce. If she's demanding it, she won't stop until she gets it. She won't back down.”

“You can get the hell out!” Fairfax snarled.

Caden fell silent.

A tempest raged in Fairfax's eyes. Give Starla whatever she wants? Did Caden even hear himself? What had the Yelchin family done to deserve this? Just because he married Starla, they had to lose everything?
