Regretting the wife 40

Chapter 40 

She really did feel wronged, but Briony knew she couldn’t blame her mother for any of this

Her mother was never one for strong opinionswhen swept up in public gossip and confusion, it was only natural she’d panic. Briony understood

After calming her mother, Briony turned away, casting a quick glance at Rosita standing outside the door. Her gaze then settled coldly on Stewart

Stewart, the only reason I agreed to clear things up online was because I owed you for what you did for me years ago.Her voice was icy. But if I’d known it would come to this, I’d have rather been called ungrateful than get involved at all.” 

Stewart stared at her, seeing a resolve in her calm expression that he’d never witnessed before

This was nothing like the gentle, accommodating Briony he’d known for the past five years

Something in her had changed

I’ll handle everything online,” Stewart said in a low voice. And don’t blame Rosita. She’s already spoken up for you on her Facebook page.” 

Spoken up for me?Briony gave a sharp, incredulous laugh. If it weren’t for the two of you, would I be getting dragged through the mud in the first place? Would I need her fake sympathy and empty words?” 

Stewart pressed his lips together, silent

Briony was done with their drama

Listen, Stewart. The only reason I’ve put up with any of this is because of Irwin. But don’t think for a second that means you can walk all over me.” 

She shot another glance toward Rosita outside the door, her voice quiet but edged with warning. So it’s public opinion you’re worried about? Fine, I can play that game too. But if this turns into a real fight, are you sure you’re ready for it?” 

Briony.Stewart’s face darkened. “Is that a threat?” 

If you’ve got nothing to hide, then nothing I say should bother you.” 

Briony met his gaze, letting out a cold laugh. Stewart, you can’t have it all. You want everything your way, but you can’t even keep up the pretense.” 

Don’t come bothering us again. Rosita’s a celebrityif you want to put up with the paparazzi for her, that’s your decision. But my mother and I are not props for your little love story.” 

Stewart looked at Briony, his dark eyes inscrutable

Seeing the tension, Rosita quickly stepped into the room

She came to stand before Briony and Julia, removing her sunglasses and mask to reveal her flawlessly delicate features

Completely barefaced, her pale skin made her look almost fragile

She bowed deeply, voice sincere. Ms. Kensington, Ms. Hudson, I’m truly sorry for all the trouble I’ve brought into your lives.” 

Briony frowned

She wasn’t about to pretend everything was fine

None of this would’ve happened if it weren’t for Rosita

Ms. Lockwood, spare me the act. First it was let’s meet at the café, then next thin~ !!

cheating scandal. You know exactly how innocent you are in all this, don’t you?” 

Rosita froze, then said softly, I’m sorry, Ms. Kensington. I never thought things would get so out of hand. I’ve already asked my fan club president to help delete all the negative comments about you.” 

She sounded so pitiable, you’d think Briony was the one forcing her hand

Briony fixed her with a cool stare. Ms. Lockwood, I’m not someone who likes to suffer in silence. If you can’t clean up this mess, I’ll use all the attention you’ve thrown my way to post the full, unvarnished truth about the three of us online. Every last detail.” 

Rosita’s face went blank

You have a lot of devoted fans, don’t you?Briony smiled, her lips curling as she studied Rosita’s innocent facade. Well, I wonder how much they’ll love you once they know what really happened.”
