A Widow's Poison, A Wife's Rebellion novel Chapter 700

She had been nothing more than a tool for Felix to use and discard!

"Should we tell her?" Garret asked.

"Tell her? Of course we're going to tell her!" Starla replied immediately. "What, am I supposed to worry about hurting her feelings?"

There was absolutely no need for mercy.

Kindness had to be earned, and right now, Starla couldn't wait for Brinley to realize exactly what her wicked actions had bought her!

Speak of the devil. Just then, Brinley came looking for Starla.

For the sake of the baby.

*Thud.*

Before Starla could even say a word, Brinley dropped heavily to her knees on the floor.

Through tear-blurred eyes, she looked up at Starla, her voice choked with devastation. "I deserve to die..."

Starla remained silent.

Garret watched impassively.

"After everything I've done to you, I deserve to die," Brinley wept. "Out of everyone in this family, I'm the one who deserves it the most. I was greedy. I failed Faraday, and I failed you!"

Thinking of Faraday's tragic death, the remorse clawing at Brinley's chest was suffocating.

Especially after seeing Felix's true face, the regret was tearing her apart!

For the longest time, she had refused to accept that she was the one responsible for her husband's murder.

But she was.

She was the villain who got him killed.

She had been the one constantly leaking Faraday's itinerary to Felix.

At the time, she honestly thought Felix just wanted to know when Faraday would be gone so they could sneak away on dates.

She had handed over Faraday's schedule time and time again.

And every time Faraday left, Felix would come find her.

Except for the day Faraday went to Yoran Country.

She had told Felix exactly where Faraday was going, just like always.

But that day was different. Felix didn't come to see her.

She assumed he was just busy.

She never imagined...

Instead of waiting for her lover, she ended up waiting for the news of her husband's death.

Initially, she hadn't connected Faraday's murder to Felix at all.

Kneeling before Starla, Brinley sobbed uncontrollably. "I am the one who deserves to die the most. Let me use my life to atone."

Starla and Garret exchanged a glance.

They both looked down at the broken woman.

It was obvious that Brinley's desire to repent was entirely genuine.

This level of raw desperation was something they hadn't seen from her before.

"You're completely out of options, aren't you?" Starla asked coolly.

People only made these kinds of extreme choices when they hit a dead end.

Especially when they were pushed right to the edge of the cliff.

Over the past few days, Starla wasn't the only one suffocating Brinley. The most vicious pressure was coming from Felix.

Now that the truth about Faraday's death was out, there was no way Fairfax was going to let the Fowler family survive.

The Fowlers were living through pure hell.

And Felix was naturally dumping all his rage and panic onto Brinley.

She had spent all her time desperately plotting to marry him! And now? Felix wouldn't even look at her like a human being.

Given how badly the Fowler family was suffering, he was likely screaming every vile insult in the book at her.
