A Widow's Poison, A Wife's Rebellion novel Chapter 490

"You're right," Fairfax conceded, his voice low. "She's trying to uproot the Seabrook family entirely."

Only a hatred that ran bone-deep could fuel such actions. So, everything she was doing to the Seabrooks… was it all revenge for losing her children?

"Investigate everything," Fairfax ordered through gritted teeth.

He knew it wouldn't be easy. If Brinley had planned these things, she would have covered her tracks well.

Fairfax was on his way to meet an important client. But as his car pulled up, he saw the man he was supposed to meet standing at the entrance of the skyscraper, warmly shaking hands with Herbert. He even personally escorted Herbert to his car.

In that instant, a cold glint appeared in Fairfax's eyes.

Gabriel saw it too. He met Fairfax's gaze in the rearview mirror. "Sir, that's Herbert Farley…"

Walter Wright was a low-key figure in Marina City, but his network of contacts in Yoran Country was not to be underestimated. Yelchin Group had taken a massive hit there, and Fairfax was desperately trying to salvage the situation. He had spent the last week trying to secure this meeting with Walter.

They had agreed to meet today. And now, just as he arrived, Herbert was leaving. What had they discussed?

Fairfax’s hands clenched into fists. As Herbert's car drove past, Fairfax saw him clearly.
