A Widow's Poison, A Wife's Rebellion novel Chapter 666

"You actually have the nerve to mention my brother?"

Hearing Brinley bring up Faraday now was almost unbelievable. Fairfax stared at her, his eyes brimming with pure mockery.

Brinley shrank under his gaze but tightened her grip on him anyway. "I know that right now, in all your eyes, I betrayed Faraday. I know you all think I'm a completely evil woman!"

"Are you saying you aren't?"

Brinley was instantly rendered speechless.

It was true. No matter who looked at the situation, she was undeniably the villain. She was the sinner here.

"But I was his wife," she argued weakly.

Having lost all hope with Felix, she was now trying to latch onto Fairfax. She knew exactly how capable Fairfax was from his time managing the company. He had real power. As long as they could get past this current crisis, the Yelchin family would likely bounce back. If the Fowlers wouldn't take her, her only option was to cling to the Yelchins!

Fairfax saw right through her pathetic calculations.

"I genuinely don't know how you can stand there and say that with a straight face," he spat. "Brinley, you are the most disgusting woman I have ever had the misfortune of knowing."

Her face lost all its remaining color.

Fairfax violently wrenched his arm away, making no effort to hide his absolute revulsion. "You're really trying to seek shelter with the Yelchin family now?"

"Felix burned the bridge, didn't he? You conspired with him to kill Faraday. You caused Starla to lose her babies twice, all so your bastard with Felix could inherit the Yelchin empire."

"You tore Starla and me apart. What was next? Were you going to have me killed too?"

Her phone rang again. This time it was her mother, Harriet Seabrook.

"Ask Starla what she wants!" Harriet shouted through the receiver. "Whatever it is, just give it to her! Give her whatever she wants!"

Harriet sounded like she was losing her mind. Being stuck in Yoran Country meant her hands were completely tied. The political contact she had lined up to help her had suddenly gone dark. Her own messes were piling up, and now Starla was launching a full-scale retaliation against her.

It was completely blocking her ability to fix her own problems! If she couldn't get this sorted out, the entire Seabrook family was going down.

"..." Brinley was at a total loss for words.

Give her whatever she wants... easier said than done! What on earth did they possess that could possibly satisfy Starla? They were less than nothing in Starla's eyes right now!
