Regretting the Wife He Threw Away

Chapter 274

Stewart frowned. "What do you mean?"

Garry watched him, a faint, knowing smile at the corner of his lips. "I have someone here," he said, eyes never leaving Stewart's face. "And I think this person might be even more valuable to you than Rosita."

An hour later, Stewart finally emerged from the building.

Outside, Carl was being watched by several men in black suits; he hadn't been allowed to go in with Stewart. As soon as Stewart appeared, Carl rushed up to him. "Mr. Wentworth, how did it go?"

"We're heading home," Stewart replied, his voice cold and clipped.

Carl was caught off guard. "What about Ms. Lockwood?"

"She won't be coming back for at least three years." Stewart raised a hand and rubbed his brow, visibly exhausted. "Let's go."

Carl had a thousand questions, but seeing Stewart's worn expression, he didn't dare press for answers.

After a grueling, nearly twelve-hour flight, they landed back in Silveridge just after eleven in the morning.
