A Widow's Poison A Wife's Rebellion novel Chapter 713

Starla's prediction was spot on.

With every avenue of survival choked off, the Yelchin family went into a sheer panic.

All night long, Annika had been screaming at Fairfax over the phone. She had been trying to sleep at the airport, only to be forcefully escorted off the premises by security.

Bombarded by the news, Fairfax called Starla relentlessly, but she ignored every single ring.

It was an agonizing, torturous night for the family.

They couldn't endure it. By dawn, they were ready to surrender everything. The entire extended family caved.

Darleen and Xenia had initially refused to cough up their personal funds, feeling safe since they had a roof over their heads. But first thing in the morning, a mob of distant Yelchin relatives broke into their space and physically fought them over it.

It was then that Darleen realized Starla was holding a noose, slowly but surely tightening it around all their necks.

When Starla walked downstairs early that morning, Darleen was waiting for her, her hair an unkempt mess, looking like a ghost.

"Taking everything... you're so ruthless," Darleen spat, her voice trembling with hatred.

The entire family. Not just the corporate assets, but everything.

She had thought Starla was bluffing about draining their personal accounts. She assumed that once Starla got the company, she'd back off.

But no. She meant it.

"You are a terrifying woman. Fairfax must have been blind to ever fall for someone like you," Darleen snarled.

It was too cruel. Starla was stripping them down to nothing, ensuring they would never have the resources to rise again.

Starla paused on the stairs. "You seem confused. This entire nightmare didn't start because he married me. This happened because of you."
