Regretting the Wife He Threw Away

Chapter 506

A four-year-old child-she couldn't possibly understand any of this.

But she knew who her father was.

Lately, Stewart had been paying more attention to both children, and it was only natural for a child to gravitate toward her own father; blood ties ran deep.

Ferdinand was self-aware enough not to pit himself against the girl's biological dad.

"I understand," Ferdinand said, looking at Briony with a sigh of resignation. "Let's leave it up to Little Nina. Three days from now, the Wentworth Group will hold a shareholders' meeting at nine o'clock sharp. Bryn, you must bring Little Nina and her vote to the meeting."
