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.

Across the table, Stewart seemed to sense what was coming, too. He set down his fork and knife, his gaze settling darkly on Briony.

Irwin blinked innocently. "What is it, Mom? What do you need to say?"

Briony looked at him, her voice steady and serious. "Irwin, your father and I are divorced."

She held his eyes. "We're not a family anymore. This isn't my home now, so I won't be coming back here again."

"Briony." Stewart's tone was edged with anger. "Don't forget what you promised me."

"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.
