A Widow's Poison, A Wife's Rebellion novel Chapter 942

Even after being assured it was safe, she still wouldn't pick up the phone. What else could it be but absolute, soul-crushing disappointment?

Starla fell silent.

Disappointed? That was an understatement. She was so disgusted by them she didn't even have the words to describe it anymore.

...

Meanwhile, in Marina City.

Tanya could hardly believe her eyes when one of Herbert's men barged into her apartment. She recognized him—he was one of Rudolf's subordinates. Because of Starla, Tanya had been keeping a close eye on anyone connected to Herbert.

The man strode right in, grabbed her phone, and started dialing Starla's number without a word of explanation.

Tanya was livid.

After several unanswered attempts, the man finally put the phone down and looked at her. "Apologies for the intrusion."

With that, he turned on his heel and headed for the door.

"Care to explain?" Tanya snapped. "Or has Mr. Farley completely dropped the nice-guy act since moving to Yoran Country and fully embraced being a thug?"

What the hell was that? It was a complete home invasion.

The man cast a brief glance at Tanya, didn't utter a single word in response, and marched straight out the door.

Tanya seethed. *What an absolute bastard!*

Once he was gone, she snatched up her phone, ready to dial Starla herself. But realizing Starla hadn't even answered for the man, Tanya figured something serious must have happened. It had been half a month since they last spoke.

Tanya quickly typed out a text: *What is going on over there? One of Herbert's goons just barged into my place and used my phone to call you. Didn't even explain himself. Absolutely zero class!*

The sheer audacity of the stunt convinced Tanya that things had hit the fan on Starla's end. Otherwise, Herbert wouldn't be pulling such desperate moves.

Over in Sylvan Vale, Starla read the text and looked up at Romy.

"Are you absolutely sure it's safe to call?"
