A Widow's Poison, A Wife's Rebellion novel Chapter 967

Originally, Tanya had planned to just walk away and be done with it, completely washing her hands of this toxic mess. But Yulisa's sheer audacity ignited a fire inside her.

"Why are you trying to provoke me?" Tanya snapped. "If you're so capable, why don't you make Darian let me go?"

"Do you think I actually want to stay? The truth is, you're just useless! You're engaged to him, yet he's still forcing me to have his baby. What's the matter? Are you barren?"

If Yulisa wanted to play a game of psychological warfare, Tanya was more than ready to oblige. She might not be able to physically retaliate while trapped in the house, but if Yulisa was going to serve herself up on a silver platter, Tanya was going to take the shot.

Yulisa had intentionally called to rub salt in Tanya's wounds, but she clearly hadn't anticipated such a vicious counterattack. "I'm not trying to provoke you," she insisted.

"Still playing the innocent victim? We're both women. Who do you think you're fooling?" Tanya mocked. Yulisa really had an incredible tolerance for humiliation to keep up the act this long. "Didn't Darian say you were just one of the guys? From where I'm standing, you're exactly like Brinley Seabrook."

In Marina City, Brinley's name had become synonymous with absolute disgrace. People who once idolized her now treated her memory like a plague, terrified of being compared to her. And Yulisa was no exception...!

The former golden girl had become a cautionary tale!

"You are completely out of line, Tanya," Yulisa snapped before abruptly ending the call. Tanya's venomous tongue was simply too much for anyone to handle right now.

Listening to the dial tone, Tanya felt a hollow sense of victory. She didn't care about winning arguments; she just wanted out.

She immediately dialed Starla's number.

"Tanya," Starla answered.

"Can you have your people look into why exactly Darian and Yulisa suddenly got engaged?" Tanya demanded.

"You mean you think she's trying to sabotage the Lynn family?"

"It's entirely possible!" Tanya argued. When Brinley had been with Faraday Yelchin, she had played the role of the devoted, tragic lover to perfection. Even after Faraday died, she had maintained that facade with Fairfax, using his identical face to stage her undying grief.

But what was the reality? All that convincing emotion was nothing but a mask to hide her true, venomous agenda.

Now, Yulisa was suddenly marrying Darian. She had to be using some sort of leverage, or maybe there was a scandal that Darian was helping her cover up. And Darian, that gullible idiot, probably fell for it because he considered her a loyal friend!

"Even if she is trying to destroy his family, that really isn't your problem anymore, is it?" Starla noted. Now that she had stepped outside the messy bounds of emotional attachment, Starla saw everything with pristine clarity.

"You're right! But that bitch keeps deliberately provoking me..."
