Regretting the Wife He Threw Away

Chapter 167

Chapter 168

After hanging up, Briony set her phone aside and went to take a shower.

About fifteen minutes later, she stepped out of the bathroom in her pajamas. Her phone was buzzing on the bed.

It was James calling.

Briony answered, "Did you get it done?"

"Something's wrong."

James sounded serious on the other end. "I contacted several news outlets, even reached out to some PR accounts, but the moment they heard Stewart's name, they all refused."

Briony frowned. "Not even if we pay extra?"

"They didn't even ask about the price. Stewart clearly got to them first."

Briony had expected it wouldn't be easy to leak anything online, but she hadn't anticipated this level of resistance.

She'd assumed, at worst, it would play out like before—she'd expose Stewart, and he'd scramble to bury the trending news, erasing every trace.

She'd been counting on that brief window before he managed to cover it up.

But Stewart had already sealed off every avenue. He hadn't left her a single chance.
