A Widow's Poison, A Wife's Rebellion novel Chapter 598

He knew she would. At this point, there was nothing she wouldn't do.

“Who was it that died? The relative you lost?” Fairfax asked, his voice heavy with suffocating pressure.

Starla continued to stare at him in silence.

Finally, overwhelmed with frustration, Fairfax stormed out of the room.

He had barely stepped outside when he collided with Brinley. Before he could react, she grabbed his sleeve, her eyes brimming with tears. “Fairfax, the baby… the baby…”

At the mention of the child, a cold glint appeared in Fairfax’s eyes.

“Save our baby, please, I’m begging you…” Brinley sobbed, tears streaming down her face.

In the past, the sight of her crying would have softened his heart.

But not anymore. He looked at her coldly and asked the same question Starla had posed: “Is the child really Faraday’s?”

Brinley’s tearful expression froze on her face.

“You doubt me too?” she asked, her eyes wide with a look of profound betrayal.

“I’ve seen the pictures of you and Felix at the hotel. How can you expect me to trust you?” Fairfax retorted.

She actually had the audacity to ask for his trust after what she’d done with Felix? Who did she think she was?

Brinley sniffled, casting a wounded look at Fairfax.

“Who are you trying to fool with those puppy-dog eyes?” Darleen scoffed. “Do you think anyone in this family is falling for that act anymore?”

Darleen was determined to block any path Brinley tried to take. “Your refusal to do a paternity test is just proof of your guilty conscience, isn’t it?”

Brinley was speechless.

Fairfax shot her one last, icy glare. He yanked his sleeve from her grasp and turned, striding away without another word.

Left alone, Brinley stood frozen, a wave of despair washing over her. She had completely lost the trust of the Yelchin family, yet Felix was still pressuring her to save the child at all costs.
