A Widow's Poison, A Wife's Rebellion novel Chapter 485

Darleen was pushed over the edge. Her eyes turned red with fury. "Brinley, you bitch!"

Brinley looked at Starla, her voice trembling. "Now... can you let me go now?"

She didn't want to be crippled. This new Starla was terrifyingly ruthless, using such methods to force a confession.

Starla let out a soft, mocking laugh and lifted her foot from Brinley's knee. She glanced at her with disgust. "Why did you have to do this to yourself?"

If Starla were still the same person Brinley could frame with ease, she would have had to swallow this injustice herself. But not anymore.

Brinley had dared to spin her web of lies, but in the end, the fear of losing a leg was too great, and she had ripped off her own facade.

Starla turned to Darleen with a smile. "So, Darleen? How does this feel? Hmm?"

Darleen used to dote on Brinley, giving her anything she wanted. As Faraday's wife and his right-hand woman at Yelchin Group, with a powerful family backing her, she had been a formidable figure. If she hadn't made those foolish moves against Fairfax after Faraday's death, the Yelchin family wouldn't be in this state, and she would still hold significant influence.

But now, it was all gone. Starla's initial assault on the Yelchin family had been triggered by Brinley. Even Harriet's troubles were her doing. Step by step, Brinley had lost everything, including the mother-in-law who had once protected her fiercely.

Provoked by Starla, Darleen’s eyes blazed with hatred. "May I go upstairs now?"

What else could she say? She loathed Starla, and she loathed Brinley. What terrible luck to have ended up with two such daughters-in-law.

"Be my guest," Starla said, clearly enjoying the sight of Darleen gritting her teeth in rage. The more she had protected Brinley before, the more she must hate her now.

Darleen and Xenia went upstairs, leaving only Starla, Sally and Brinley in the living room.
