A Widow's Poison, A Wife's Rebellion novel Chapter 405

Darleen and Xenia descended the stairs, their demeanor completely transformed from the previous day. Darleen's submissiveness was gone, replaced by her usual arrogant, nose-in-the-air posture. As she passed through the living room, she even let out a disdainful 'humph,' a clear display of her renewed confidence.

Xenia shot Starla a venomous glare, a look that seemed to say that whatever power Starla held over them was about to disappear.

Starla merely watched them, a faint smile playing on her lips. The moment the front door closed, she turned to Garret.

"They must have overheard your call with Mr. Hoggart," Garret surmised.

"Did we say something we shouldn't have? Or perhaps something they could misinterpret?"

"You mentioned that you'd be returning to Yoran Country when you finished here, and you said you missed Mr. Hoggart."

"So, they've jumped to the conclusion that I have some lover on the side?" Starla chuckled. It was so typical of the Yelchin family. A leopard can't change its spots. Because they were rotten to the core, they assumed everyone else was just like them.

"If I'm not mistaken, they are on their way to see Mr. Farley now," Garret said.

"They're definitely going to him. If they've concocted a story like that, he'd be their first stop." They were undoubtedly eager to tell Herbert what a two-timing woman she was, using him to destroy the Yelchins while planning a tryst with her lover in Yoran Country.

"They have quite the imagination," Starla remarked with a laugh.

"Should I call Mr. Farley to give him a heads-up?" Garret asked.

"No need," Starla said. "If you call him, he'll be prepared. It's much more interesting to see how he reacts without a script."

Garret paused for a moment, then broke into a smile. His lady was certainly mischievous.
