Chapter 322 

As for everything else, she could handle it herself

Two days later, Ferdinand’s uncle, Kendal Ellsworth, arrived

Kendal had a refined look about him. Dressed in a stylish linen blazer and slacks, he looked every inch the distinguished gentlemanhard to believe he was already fortyfive

Gina had once whispered to Briony, marveling, The Ellsworth genes are something else; I bet Ferdinand’s uncle left quite a trail of broken hearts back in the day!” 

Briony couldn’t have agreed more

But Kendal wasn’t just handsome; his approachable, warm demeanor made all the difference. Maybe that’s why Julia didn’t show the slightest hint of resistance or discomfort around him

After checking Julia’s pulse with calm expertise, Kendal delivered his verdict. It’s nothing serious. With some care and rest, she should be fully lucid again in about six months.” 

Briony was surprisedfrankly, it sounded a bit like something out of a fairy tale

But this was Ferdinand’s uncle, after all; questioning him felt inappropriate

Sensing Briony’s uncertainty, Ferdinand suggested they all accompany Julia to the countryside. Briony happily agreed

Kendal definitely knew how to live well. Though he kept a place in the country, it was only a twohour drive from the old town

Half the journey wound along mountain roads, making for a slow, scenic trip

Though everyone called it the countryside,it was really a cluster of cottages nestled halfway up a lush green mountain

It was like stepping into a hidden paradise

The air was crisp and clean, the scenery gorgeousshimmering streams and rolling hills. There were only a handful of families in the village, most of them growing medicinal herbs for a living

Kendal’s home was a renovated farmhouse, an old stone manor updated for comfort and practicality. Its thick walls and sturdy beams made it perfect for storing herbs, but the living spaces were bright, spotless, and surprisingly cozy

He shared the place with an elderly gentleman everyone called Mr. Ellsworth, a distant family relative

With Gina there as well, the house never felt lonely

Briony and Ferdinand stayed for two days, making sure Julia had settled in and was

comfortable with her new surroundings before heading back to the old town together

The moment they drove into town, Briony’s phone rang

I’m at the airport.” 

The woman’s voice was crisp and a little haughty

Briony smiled, I’ll come pick you up.” 

Ferdinand glanced over, A friend’s coming?” 

Briony nodded. Mmhmm.” 

Want me to come with you?” 

No need. Just take me home, I’ll drive myself.” 

Alright.” 

Briony swung by her place, grabbed a folder, and headed out with her keys

At the airport, she parked and made her way inside

The arrivals lounge buzzed with travelers, but near the exit, a tall woman in sunglasses wheeled her suitcase out into the crowd

Briony spotted her instantly and waved

The woman paused, tugged down her sunglasses, and gave Briony a long, appraising look

As Briony approached, she grinned. What’s wrong, can’t recognize me after all these years?” 

Holy hell!The woman burst out in a halflaugh, halfexpletive, her dramatic makeup making her eyes look even rounder. It’s been years and you haven’t aged a day!” 

Briony blinked. Was thirty really old enough to start worrying about that

The woman leaned in, scanning Briony’s face intently. Your skin is flawlesshow many collagen injections have you had? Did you get a nose job? And your chestdid you have work done? It looks so natural! Where did you go? Give me the number!” 

Briony sighed at her friend’s usual bluntness. I haven’t had anything done.” 

No way!Her friend looked genuinely shocked. If you can look like this without a little help, what does that say about the rest of us actresses?” 

Actress?Briony arched an eyebrow. Thought you were always a stunt double.” 

Her friend paused, then huffed, Other stunt doubles don’t care, but I do!” 

Briony grinned. Crystal, maybe lose the heavy eyeliner before you start talking about image

We’re not exactly short on national treasures here anymore.” 

Crystal rolled her eyes but didn’t argue

On the drive back, Briony brought up business

So, you really want to hire me as a bodyguard?” 

That’s right,Briony said. I’ll give you an annual salary.” 

Crystal frowned, Look, I’m a stuntwoman because I want to be an action star in Hollywood, not because I’m chasing a paycheck. I have dreams, and dreams are priceless. I’m not going to-” 

One hundred and twenty thousand.” 

Crystal stared at her. How much?! Say that again?” 

One hundred and twenty thousand,” Briony repeated. Plus full benefits and paid vacation.” 

Stop talking,Crystal said, suddenly solemn. If you keep going, I’m afraid I’ll drop to my knees and call you bosson the spot.” 

Briony could only shake her head

Twenty minutes later, they pulled up to Briony’s house

A long, gleaming RollsRoyce was parked at the curb

Briony glanced at it, instantly guessing Stewart had arrived

It was, after all, exactly one week

She looked away, a cool smile tugging at her lips

Stewart, it seemed, was a man who kept his word
