Regretting the Wife He Threw Away

Chapter 266

"Briony, how can you still be so naïve?" Rosita pulled her phone out of her pocket. "Honestly, Stewart has known about your pregnancy for a long time. Did you really think moving to Silveridge would mean you'd finally escape him?"

She pressed play on a recording.

Stewart's voice came through, cold and flat: "It's just as well if the babies are lost."

Cedric Clarke's voice was sharp with disbelief. "Are you out of your mind? What the hell are you saying? Those are your children! Stewart! If you ever say something like that again, I swear I'll cut you off for good!"

Stewart replied, unshaken, "I'm just stating the facts."

Cedric's voice rose to a shout. "Stewart! Say one more word and I'll punch you in the face, you hear me? Those are your children! Even if you don't care about Briony, you have no right to talk like that!"

The recording ended.

Rosita watched Briony's face drain of all color, a satisfied smirk curving her lips. "Did you hear that clearly, Ms. Kensington?"

Briony clutched her belly. Stewart's words still echoed in her ears, harsh and cold.
