A Widow's Poison A Wife's Rebellion novel Chapter 548

“Are you trying to leave me stranded on the street? Fairfax, do you have any control over Starla? Where in the world did she get this kind of power?”

Annika, caught in the crossfire, had been kicked out of the nursing home and had nowhere else to go. It wasn't until she left that she discovered the money in her accounts was suddenly worthless. What good was all that wealth if she couldn't even buy a single plane ticket?

Annika had heard about the chaos Starla was causing in Marina City and was furious enough to fly back and confront her, to see for herself what this woman was truly capable of. But when she got to the airport, she found it was impossible to purchase a ticket back.

What was the meaning of this? Had Starla managed to freeze all of the Yelchin family’s assets so completely? She couldn’t return to the nursing home, and she couldn’t get back to Marina. Was she supposed to live on the streets?

Annika’s frantic, angry voice crackled over the phone, and a sharp pain throbbed in Fairfax’s temple. “Can you get back to Marina City on your own?”

“I’m at the airport!” she shrieked. “I can’t use my own money! I can’t buy a ticket!”

A heavy silence fell.

Her words made his heart sink. He now fully understood that Starla was dead set on taking everything from the Yelchin family. Only those who faced her could truly know how ruthless a person could become when they cast aside all morals.

The old Starla was so gentle, so soft-spoken she seemed afraid of startling anyone. How had that gentle woman… turned into this?

Fairfax closed his eyes, an icy chill radiating from him.
