A Widow's Poison, A Wife's Rebellion novel Chapter 877

"Garret is secretly arranging a trip to Ravena Country for her," Percy reported.

Fairfax's eyes narrowed. "Secretly? Why in secret?" Had she realized the danger surrounding the Hoggart family? If she knew the truth, things were getting much worse. His heart pounded with anxiety. It was classic Starla—whenever she faced a problem she couldn't solve, her first instinct was to run.

"It seems she's trying to slip away from Yardley and Herbert," Percy added.

"What exactly happened?" Fairfax's expression turned lethal.

"Yardley forced her to return Brinley to Mr. Farley."

Fairfax's face turned black with rage. "He made her give Brinley back? What kind of brother does that?" Yardley knew exactly how much Starla despised Brinley. Anyone else might oppose her, but her own flesh and blood? How much pain was she in right now?

"Why is Yardley so absurdly loyal to Herbert?" Fairfax demanded, his voice dropping to a dangerous growl. He was choosing his alliance over his own sister's feelings.

"It's likely not just loyalty, sir. They have massive, intertwined business interests."

"If you do, I'll come pick you up."

"Seriously, are you sick in the head?" The idea was laughable. She was avoiding him like the plague; why on earth would she voluntarily go to his territory?

"Your situation is extremely volatile right now," Fairfax warned. "Even if you run to Ravena Country, their influence will still reach you."
