A Widow's Poison, A Wife's Rebellion novel Chapter 453

Fairfax had always assumed Herbert’s collaborations with them were minor. After all, Hoggart Group was known for being exclusive, and any deal Herbert managed to secure would have been insignificant.

But now, he saw things differently. If Herbert was willing to sell Starla to deepen his ties with them, there was no line he wouldn't cross. And that fool, Starla, trusted him unconditionally.

Gabriel sighed, trying once more. "But Starla…"

"Even if she wasn't interested, what if Kael went after her first?" Fairfax countered.

Gabriel fell silent. It was a plausible scenario. If Kael had initiated it, then everything seemed to make a twisted kind of sense.

Fairfax opened his eyes, a glint of cold fury in them. "I wonder how Herbert convinced her. Then again, it probably wasn't hard. She's always been so naive."

The thought that she would agree to a relationship with a married man was unbearable. At that moment, Fairfax couldn't stand to think about the kind of woman he had loved for all these years. This was happening right under his nose. More than ever, he wanted to sever all ties with her.

Gabriel saw the conviction in Fairfax's eyes and knew there was no point in arguing further.

"Kael, huh?" Fairfax sneered, his gaze turning frigid.

Just then, his phone rang again. It was Darleen, sobbing hysterically.

"Is she sending a car?" she cried.
