A Widow's Poison, A Wife's Rebellion novel Chapter 832

Herbert had the power to help her, and she had trusted him implicitly. But the moment he shielded Brinley, every ounce of that trust shattered into a million pieces.

And then there was the Hoggart family. The longer Starla was back, the more twisted things seemed. It felt like she was navigating in the dark, unable to see anyone's true motives.

Worst of all... she was trapped right in the middle of the game.

"Starla, why don't you just run?" Tanya suggested.

Forget the Hoggart family. Forget Herbert. As far as Tanya was concerned, the only person Starla could trust right now was herself.

"Do you think I haven't thought about it?" Starla replied.

"Then why don't you—"

"Where would I even go?"

Tanya fell silent. Right. She was the heiress of the Hoggart family. Herbert's gaze was locked onto her. And then there was Fairfax...

Before, she only had to dodge Fairfax. Now, there were too many eyes watching her every move. The factions observing the Hoggarts in Yoran Country were undoubtedly keeping tabs on her too. Running simply wasn't an option.

"It really is a mess," Tanya sighed. "Before, it was just one guy you had to shake off. Now..."

Now, Starla needed to be at a hundred percent just to survive the day.

"Are you scared?" Tanya asked softly. If it were her, she would be having a meltdown, desperate for any escape hatch.

"Scared of what?" Starla said, her voice steady. "Everyone dies eventually."
