A Widow's Poison, A Wife's Rebellion novel Chapter 484

Her earlier taunts meant nothing. Starla’s words were the ones that truly cut to the bone. What did it matter if she had Fairfax's trust? He might trust her, but he couldn't protect her.

"Are you going to talk or not?" Starla pressed.

Brinley squeezed her eyes shut, refusing to speak. What could she say? Admit that she had spun more lies about Starla to Fairfax?

Starla applied more pressure, and this time, Brinley heard a sickening crack from her knee. A wave of excruciating pain shot through her.

"Ah! Ah! Ah!"

Her hysterical screams filled the room.

The sound was too much for Darleen and Xenia. As much as they now despised Brinley, they knew that the cruelty Starla inflicted on her today could be turned on them tomorrow. The Starla before them now had no conscience, no morals.

They turned to leave, but Starla's icy voice stopped them. "Wait."

Darleen and Xenia froze, turning back with tense bodies.

"She was the daughter-in-law you doted on for so many years," Starla said. "Don't you want to see what kind of person she really is?"

"I... I already know!" Darleen choked out. The moment she learned Brinley had gotten into Felix's car, she knew exactly who she was.

"No," Starla said softly. "You don't truly know until you see it with your own eyes."
