A Widow's Poison, A Wife's Rebellion novel Chapter 472

The words had barely left his mouth when the bat crashed down on his back with a sickening thud. Felix gasped, the impact so forceful it felt as if Fairfax had tried to knock his organs out of his body.

Before he could even catch his breath, another blow landed.

Fairfax was like a raging lion, swinging the bat wildly at Felix, with several blows landing squarely on his head.

At first, Felix hadn't tried to move, but as he realized Fairfax was genuinely trying to kill him, he curled into a ball, trying desperately to protect his head and scramble away.

From the car not far away, Brinley watched the brutal assault, her entire body shaking with fear.

"Stop it! Stop hitting me! Ah—" Felix screamed in agony.

For Brinley, trapped in the car, every second was an eternity of torment. Finally, she dialed her mother's number.

Harriet answered quickly. "Hello?"

Her voice was weary and listless. Even through the phone, Brinley could hear the exhaustion and defeat in her tone. Clearly, things in Yoran Country were not going well.

"Mom, you have to help me! Save me!" Brinley cried, abandoning all pretense of composure.

"What's wrong?" Harriet asked, alarmed.

"It's... my relationship with Felix... Fairfax found out! What do I do? He's going to beat Felix to death, and he knows I'm in the car!"

Brinley's words tumbled out in a panicked, incoherent rush.
