Chapter 225 

Rosita’s tears slipped down her cheeks as she tilted her chin up, gazing at Quentin with a plaintive, fragile look. You’re the only one who can help me now,she pleaded

Quentin’s Adam’s apple bobbed as he locked his deep brown eyes on Rosita’s tearreddened ones. What do you want me to do?” 

Briony’s taken Stewart from meand now she’s after my son, too” 

Rosita’s voice was meek, almost innocent, but her words dripped with venom

I know I can’t outmaneuver her, but I can’t just let it go. She stole the most important people in my lifesol want her to feel my pain. I want everyone she cares about to leave her, one by one. I want her to know what it feels like to be utterly alone.” 

Quentin frowned. The only people she truly relies on now are Stella and James. James has government connections and an influential familyyou can’t touch him.” 

He paused, then added, Stella’s been spending time with Cedric Clarke lately. If I go after her, Cedric will do whatever it takes to protect her. I don’t think I could get past him.” 

I know, I know I’m asking a lotRosita shifted, climbing onto the hospital bed on her knees. Her delicate body inched closer, her voice trembling. Butwhat if it looked like an accident?” 

What are you saying?” 

I heard there’s a medical outreach trip to the mountains next monthStella’s on the team, isn’t she?” 

That’s meant to boost the hospital’s reputation. If something happened to a staff member during the trip, it’d be a disaster for us. And Cedric Clarke is going to be there too.” 

But it’s the rainy season, the terrain up there is dangerous. If there’s a storm and someone gets hurtwell, wouldn’t that just be an unfortunate accident?” 

Rosita leaned in, her tearful eyes wide with helplessness. You’ve always said you wanted to see me happy, haven’t you?” 

As she spoke, her breath danced across Quentin’s neck. He clenched his jaw, took a step back, fighting to keep control. Rosita, you don’t have to do this. I do want you to be happy, butI don’t have feelings for you like that.” 

Rosita’s lips curled into a smile. She didn’t press her body fully against his, but the space between them was barely more than a breath

I know,she purred, her eyes glinting slylylike a fox who knew exactly how to ensnare its prey. But you’ve always looked out for me, cared for me. Shouldn’t I give you something in returnmake you happy, even just for a little while?” 

Her slender fingers traced down Quentin’s chest, slipping lower to the waistband of his trousers, drawing slow, deliberate circles

Quentin’s breathing grew ragged

Click- 

The belt buckle came undone

He stiffened, eyes closing in surrender

Rosita watched him, a flicker of disgust passing through her gaze

Half an hour later, the hospital room door opened

Quentin stepped out, perfectly composed in his suit, pulling the door shut behind him. He glanced around the hallway, face unreadablethough a shadow of what just happened still lingered in his eyes

After a moment, he walked away

Inside, Rosita went straight to the bathroom. She turned on the tap and scrubbed her hands over and over beneath the running water

The sound of water echoed in the room

Rosita looked up. In the mirror, her lips curved into a faint smile, but her eyes were cold and murderous

A week later, with Lydia’s help, Briony finally firtished restoring Mrs. Chadwick’s wedding gown

When the time came to deliver it, Mr. and Mrs. Chadwick were overwhelmed to see the dress looking as beautiful as the day it was first worn

Mrs. Chadwick took Briony’s hands, brimming with gratitude. Ms. Kensington, you’re so young, yet you have the heart and skill of a true craftswoman. That’s a rare gift.” 

Briony smiled gently at the kindly woman. You flatter me, Mrs. Chadwick.” 

In the end, Briony only accepted payment for Lydia’s hours and the cost of materials

Mr. and Mrs. Chadwick were embarrassed to pay so little, but Briony insistedshe wouldn’t take a penny more. Mr. Chadwick realized that insisting on paying more would only cheapen the true value of her work. Instead, he handed Briony a business card embossed in golda mark of his distinguished status

Ms. Kensington, if you ever need anything at all, just call this number. Whatever you ask, I’ll do itno questions asked.” 

Few people ever received Mr. Chadwick’s gilded card

Briony accepted it with both hands, nodding earnestly. Thank you, Mr. Chadwick. I’m honored.” 

He nodded, clearly pleased. Good. Now that you’ve accepted it, my wife and I can rest easy.” 

Looking at the couple before her, Briony felt a genuine warmth toward them

None of them knew that, in the days to come, this card would become Briony’s lifeline

At five o’clock that evening, Briony was packing up her things when her phone rang

The number was unfamiliar

She hesitated, then answered

Ms. Kensington. It’s me,said a voice

Briony frowned. Who is this?” 

It’s Rosita.

Briony paused. What do you want?” 

Let’s meet,” Rosita said

Briony’s tone was cold. If you have something to say, just say it.” 

It’s not that simple. I have a recording I think you’ll want to hear.” 

Oh?Briony’s lips curled into a cool, mocking smile. We barely know each other. How could you possibly know what might interest me?”

It’s about Stewart.” 

Stewart?Briony let out a derisive laugh. I couldn’t care less.” 

Rosita sounded rattled now. Briony, don’t think that just because Stewart won’t divorce you, you can sit back and relax! The only reason he’s staying married is for Irwin’s sake!” 

Oh.” Briony’s reply was utterly indifferent. By the way, I’m recording this call. I wonder if your legion of diehard fans would be interested to learn how the famous Rosita likes to harass her soontobe ex’s wife. That would make for some juicy gossip, wouldn’t it?”
