Regretting the Wife He Threw Away

Chapter 433

After returning to Skybreeze Retreat, Julia wouldn't stop insisting on going back to the countryside.

Briony tried everything to persuade her to stay, even bringing up Little Nina, but nothing worked.

Maybe it was seeing Mack so frightened that set her off, but Julia-who'd been doing so much better lately-suddenly started showing signs of a relapse.

In the end, they gave in to her wishes. After spending just one night at Skybreeze Retreat, Kendal and Gina took Julia back to the countryside the very next day.

By then, more than two weeks had passed since Crowning Night.

Julia's case had gone remarkably smoothly, and there was no denying Stewart's help had made a huge difference.

Briony was well aware of this, but she felt Stewart was only doing what was expected of him. He'd been the lawyer in charge of the original case, and now that things had taken a turn, it was only right for him-as the defense attorney-to see it through.

After all, that was part of the agreement they'd made when they got married.

As for the case involving Ottilie and Rosita stealing her original work, Ottilie ended up paying restitution and a fine, after which the Kensington family took her back home.

She didn't have to go to jail, but word was, the money the Kensingtons used to bail her out came at a steep price-Ottilie's own marriage.

Madeline arranged a match for her: the CEO of The Brown Group, a man whose wife had only recently passed away.

Mr. Brown offered a ten-million-dollar dowry, plus a three-year new energy contract between The Brown Group and The Kensington Group.

To put it plainly, Madeline had sold her granddaughter.
