Chapter 58

"Irwin, there's something I need to make clear to you," Briony said.

Irwin stiffened. He was just a child, but for some reason, an uneasy feeling crept over him.

"I've changed my mind," Briony replied, her eyes never leaving his. "Don't worry. I'll pay back the ten million."

Stewart stared at her, frowning as if she'd said something completely absurd, his face growing darker.
