A Widow's Poison, A Wife's Rebellion novel Chapter 916

"Worried about me? Want to help me out? The ones trying to kill me right now are Herbert and your brother!"

"Get lost!"

Seeing his sudden, flippant attitude return, her face instantly darkened.

Help him? In his dreams!

And worried...

How could she possibly feel that way about him anymore? It was impossible. It would never happen again in this lifetime.

Fairfax chuckled and walked away.

Not long after he left.

A girl named Romy walked in. "Mr. Yelchin said I am to stay by your side and not leave your sight from now on."

Stay by her side?

"Spy on me, you mean?" Starla mocked.

Right now, the thing she hated hearing most was someone claiming they needed to stay by her side.

It happened when she returned to Yoran Country!

And earlier in Marina City, Herbert and Yardley pulled the exact same trick.

In reality, were these people truly protecting her?

"No, protecting you," Romy replied.

See? The excuses for getting close to her were identical, but it was essentially a lockdown.

As long as their people were around, her every move was under Fairfax's control.

"I don't need it."

"Don't waste your breath. You just have to accept everything happening to you right now."

Starla was speechless.

Great!

Fairfax's people weren't even pretending anymore?

If that was the case, she had nothing left to say.

Honestly, the young girl was right. She had no choice but to accept her current situation.

...

Meanwhile, Fairfax left Starla's room and got straight into Amos's car.

"I assigned Romy to protect her," Amos said.

Moreover...

If she really had a connection to someone that powerful, knowing her personality, she absolutely would have used it when Starla was making her life miserable.

But she hadn't. Why?

"The exact reason? That's really hard to dig up," Amos admitted.

This was genuinely frustrating!

Investigating this was a massive headache. Amos hadn't expected there to be something in this world he couldn't uncover.

Hearing him say it was "hard to dig up," Fairfax's gaze shifted.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Amos asked defensively.

"It's rare to find something you can't uncover."

"I'm human, not a god!"

Just because he had been awesome before, suddenly hitting a wall meant he deserved that kind of look?

Seriously, what was wrong with this guy!

"Figure it out as fast as you can," Fairfax ordered.

"Alright, I'm on it."
