Chapter 270

Gwendolyn White pressed her lips together, a sting of tears building in her nose.

Carney slipped an arm around his wife, letting out a heavy sigh. "As heartbreaking as this is, we should try to be grateful. At least fate left her with a daughter."

When James heard about Briony's accident overseas, he immediately called his father and caught the first private jet back to Silveridge.

James gave a cold snort. "Better that he's not here."
