"You actually have the nerve to mention my brother?"
Hearing Brinley bring up Faraday now was almost unbelievable. Fairfax stared at her, his eyes brimming with pure mockery.
Brinley shrank under his gaze but tightened her grip on him anyway. "I know that right now, in all your eyes, I betrayed Faraday. I know you all think I'm a completely evil woman!"
"Are you saying you aren't?"
Brinley was instantly rendered speechless.
It was true. No matter who looked at the situation, she was undeniably the villain. She was the sinner here.
"But I was his wife," she argued weakly.
Having lost all hope with Felix, she was now trying to latch onto Fairfax. She knew exactly how capable Fairfax was from his time managing the company. He had real power. As long as they could get past this current crisis, the Yelchin family would likely bounce back. If the Fowlers wouldn't take her, her only option was to cling to the Yelchins!
Fairfax saw right through her pathetic calculations.
"I genuinely don't know how you can stand there and say that with a straight face," he spat. "Brinley, you are the most disgusting woman I have ever had the misfortune of knowing."
Her face lost all its remaining color.
Fairfax violently wrenched his arm away, making no effort to hide his absolute revulsion. "You're really trying to seek shelter with the Yelchin family now?"
"Felix burned the bridge, didn't he? You conspired with him to kill Faraday. You caused Starla to lose her babies twice, all so your bastard with Felix could inherit the Yelchin empire."
"You tore Starla and me apart. What was next? Were you going to have me killed too?"
