A Widow's Poison, A Wife's Rebellion novel Chapter 658

"How... how can you humiliate me like this?" Brinley stammered.

"Weren't you the one who loved humiliating people?" Starla countered effortlessly. "And not just me. The entire staff here. If anyone stepped out of line, or if you were just in a bad mood, you verbally abused them without a second thought."

Why did Sally abandon her so easily? Because when Brinley visited the Seabrook estate, she treated the staff there like garbage too. And at the Yelchin house, it was even worse.

To the outside world, she played the gentle, elegant socialite. Darleen used to brag to her high-society friends about how polite and well-bred her daughter-in-law was. But behind closed doors, away from prying eyes, Brinley was arrogant and cruel, quick to hurl insults or slap a servant if they so much as looked at her wrong.

And now she was acting like a victim over a single insult?

Brinley couldn't form a coherent response.

"You could have stayed loyal and had Faraday's baby," Starla continued flatly. "Instead, you spread your legs for Felix Fowler. Your child's fate has absolutely nothing to do with me or this family."

Brinley had previously tried to argue that since Starla was still legally married to Fairfax, she was technically the baby's aunt and had an obligation to save him.

Brinley collapsed onto the floor, completely drained of strength.

"The Yelchins and the Fowlers are blood enemies," Starla pointed out. "You really expect me to lift a finger to save a Fowler? If the Fowler family is so rich and powerful, why don't they just hire Justin Gass themselves?"

They had spent years plotting from the shadows, pretending they were out of their league, yet scheming to tear the Yelchins down.

Driven to the edge of sanity, Brinley finally snapped. "You're not even a real Yelchin! You're divorcing Fairfax!"

It was the one card she had left to play. She felt like she was suffocating under the weight of her own desperation.

"Perfect," Starla smiled. "Then I definitely don't have to get involved."

"He's just an innocent baby!"

"Yes, he is. What about me?" Starla's voice dropped to a lethal whisper.

Brinley froze.

"You actually expected me to save the bastard you had with Felix Fowler. What is wrong with your brain?" Starla asked.
