Regretting the wife 74

Gina grinned. No worries, Ms. Kensington. Just go take care of your businessI’ve got everything under control here!” 

Briony nodded, then glanced over at Julia

Julia was sitting up in bed, watching her. She lifted a hand and waved her off. Go on, now. And drive safe.” 

Alright.Briony flashed a bright, reassuring smile before turning to leave

As the hospital room door closed behind her, Julia’s smile faded, her lips pressing together in a soft sigh

Briony left the hospital and headed straight for the Kensington estate

She hadn’t set foot in that house since Malcolm’s death

Over the years, she’d heard plenty of rumors: after Malcolm passed away, the Kensington Group’s business had gone downhill year after year. Mack simply wasn’t cut out for the corporate world. Word was, every project the Kensington Group had invested in recently had crashed and burned

Right now, the Kensingtons were strapped for cashand that was her greatest leverage in today’s negotiation

The Kensingtons cared about nothing but profit. As long as her offer was tempting enough, she didn’t doubt for a second that they’d bite

Her white BMW rolled to a stop outside the stately gates

A security guard approached, sizing her up. Can I help you? Who are you here to see?” 

Briony,she replied simply

At the mention of her name, the guard’s expression shifted instantlynow openly disdainful. Oh, it’s you. Mrs. Kensington left instructions: you’ll need to park out here.” 

Briony had expected nothing less

She parked, stepped out of the car, and closed the door behind her

The guard had already notified the family

Within moments, the front doors swung open, and a small crowd emerged, led by Madeline and Mackseven or eight Kensingtons in total

Briony walked forward

It wasn’t yet ten in the morning, but the sky was already a dull, oppressive graya sure sign the weather wouldn’t be kind. She’d checked the forecast before leaving; heavy snow was expected

She wore a long creamcolored down coat, her black hair falling loose around her shoulders, hands tucked into her pockets, half her face hidden behind a thick scarf. Her eyescalm, cold, and utterly steadynever wavered from the path ahead

At the grand entrance, the Kensingtons stood a few steps above her, looking down with all the arrogance of royalty presiding over a subject

Briony stopped a few paces from the steps, her gaze coolly sweeping over each face

Every one of these people was family by bloodyet every one of them had tried their hardest to ruin her. Looking at them now, Briony felt nothing. It was like staring at a row of emotionless mannequins. Mack, I’m here,” she said, turning her gaze to him. Her voice was flat, cold. Let’s hear your terms.” Mack let out a derisive laugh. Doesn’t matter what I say. Grandma’s the one who calls the shots.”

Chapter 74 

Briony’s brow furrowed, but before she could say anything, Madeline’s sharp voice cut in

Mack, go get your father!” 

Fine.” Mack shot Briony a glare, then disappeared inside

Moments later he returnedcarrying Malcolm’s portrait in his arms

Madeline fixed Briony with a venomous glare

That wicked woman Julia murdered my son! And you expect Mack to help her?she spat. Briony, if you hadn’t schemed and manipulated Stewart into helping you last time, do you think I’d have let Mack so much as get testedlet alone consider a donation?” 

But even if the test is a match, so what? The decision is ours! What’s Stewart going to dohold a knife to Mack’s throat and force him to donate?Madeline sneered, her lined face twisting in triumph. Besides, Stewart hasn’t said a word since the results came in. Looks like he’s not planning to help you a second time!She gave a brittle, satisfied laugh. So now, Briony, you have no choice but to beg us!”
