A Widow's Poison, A Wife's Rebellion novel Chapter 374

Starla opened the video and watched.

“See?” Tanya asked.

“Yes, I see,” Starla replied, a sense of satisfaction washing over her. Fairfax had always been treated like royalty in Marina City, a man revered and respected. To now be barred from a common restaurant—she could only imagine his humiliation.

“So, he must be demanding a divorce again, right?” Tanya guessed. The golden boy of Marina City, brought so low because of Starla—he must be desperate to end it.

“Oh, he is,” Starla said. “He threw another fit this morning. But I refused.”

After all, Fairfax had refused to grant her a divorce when she had wanted one, completely ignoring her feelings. Now, he could have a taste of his own medicine.

“Two weeks,” Starla said.

“Two weeks? You’re letting them off too easy!”

For the Yelchin family, a mere two weeks of this hardly seemed like enough punishment.

“In two weeks, it will all be over,” Starla said with finality. It might only be two weeks, but for them, every minute of it would feel like an eternity.

After hanging up with Tanya, Starla turned to Garret. “They didn't want the free meal this morning. When they come back, they’ll have to work for it.”

Garret understood immediately. “I’ll arrange it.”

“And fire all the Yelchin family’s staff.”

With the entire household staff gone, and her own people only responsible for her needs, Garret knew exactly who would be left to do the work.

“This is infuriating!” Darleen exclaimed.

Their plan to wait out the storm in comfort had failed spectacularly. Now, they had no choice but to return to the estate.

“Can we… can we go somewhere else?” Brinley asked quietly.

“What?” Darleen didn't understand.

“Let’s leave Marina City,” Brinley said.

“Run away from her? How would that look?” Darleen snapped. Starla was the one who should be leaving Marina City. The Yelchins had lived here for generations. Fleeing because of her would be the ultimate humiliation.

“I can’t take it anymore,” Brinley said, her voice rising with emotion. “Do you have a way to get rid of her? If you can’t, then I never want to go back to that house again!”
