A Widow's Poison, A Wife's Rebellion novel Chapter 488

A moment later, Starla's voice returned, sharp as a shard of glass. "Two children. And you ask me why I hate you so much?"

There were so many reasons to hate. From the very beginning, when she had decided to divorce Fairfax, she never intended to just let things go. Even if she had gone to Yoran Country, she would have found a way to turn Yelchin Group upside down.

But the moment she learned her mother had died right in front of Darleen, her plans changed. Why settle for ruining a company? She wanted to be in the Yelchin estate, to watch the high and mighty Darleen be dragged through the mud with her own eyes.

And now, Fairfax was asking her why she hated them? The list of reasons was endless.

Fairfax was silent. The mention of the children felt like a physical blow, lodging in his chest.

"You know I was really pregnant, don't you?" Starla continued, her voice relentless. "And you know Harriet intended for me to bleed to death at Petal Villa that day, right?"

Fairfax still didn't speak.

Starla let out a low, chilling laugh. "Then you must also know how I lost my child. Brinley pushed me. On purpose. You know all this, and you still ask me why I hate you?"

Again, silence.

"Don't you think your question is utterly ridiculous?" she pressed.

Did he really expect her, after everything that had happened, to be magnanimous and forgive them all? Even a saint would struggle to find a reason to forgive this group of people. Yet here he was, asking her why. The question itself was a farce.

"The first time she hit you with the car, it wasn't on purpose!" Fairfax finally bit out.

Starla said nothing.

"The second time, she didn't know you were pregnant!" he continued, his voice tight with frustration. "In that situation, when she was about to give birth, you think she did it deliberately?"
