A Widow's Poison, A Wife's Rebellion novel Chapter 698

But now, her heart was completely dead.

It was true what they said—you only saw someone's true colors when everything went to hell.

What exactly was Felix?

To think she had betrayed Faraday for a monster like him. She had actually dreamed of marrying into the Fowler family.

Given the vile nature of everyone in that family, even if she had married him, her life would have been a living nightmare.

On the other end of the line, Felix was stunned by her sudden moment of clarity. "Are you insane, Brinley? You dare talk to me like that?"

"What's wrong with how I'm talking to you? I indulged your garbage behavior for far too long!"

Way too long.

"Don't ever call me again," Brinley said coldly.

"Do you have any idea what will happen if the Fowler family falls?"

Brinley paused, her finger hovering over the end call button.

Felix pressed his advantage. "If we go down, our child will have no future!"

The baby...

Hearing him bring up the baby made Brinley's chest clench violently.

Tears spilled over her lashes.

Her baby. The infant lying in the ICU. The hospital had been calling her nonstop these past few days.

An overwhelming, suffocating pressure had crashed down onto her shoulders.

And now Felix...

First, he used his family to pressure her, and now he was using the baby.

Brinley parted her lips to speak, but when it came to the child, she didn't know what to say.

In the end, she simply hung up.

That child was her only remaining tie to Felix, the ultimate leverage he had over her.

But in this current war zone, what kind of life would that baby even have?

Yet, she was the one who gave birth to it...

She had seen Felix for who he truly was and wanted nothing to do with him, but she couldn't just abandon her child!
