Regretting the Wife He Threw Away

Chapter 572

Briony arrived at the studio first and waited for half an hour, but Ferdinand still hadn't shown up.

A knot of worry tightened in her chest.

What if Ferdinand had changed his mind and gone to Skybreeze Retreat to see the children on his own again?

The thought made her uneasy, so she quickly dialed Ferdinand's number.

He answered, explaining that a last-minute crisis at work needed his attention and

he'd have to cancel their meeting.

Briony let out a quiet sigh of relief.

Maybe it was for the best-she didn't have to put on an act today.

The days slipped by in relative calm for the next two weeks.

On the last day of January, Briony traveled to Havenport on business.

A new actress from her company was starring in her first leading role and was buckling under the pressure. Several shaky performances had left the young woman on the verge of a breakdown.

As the boss, Briony didn't hesitate to rush to the set in Havenport.

Once there, she spoke with the rookie herself, guiding her with the gentle firmness of an older sister.

Encouraged by Briony's words, the newcomer regained her composure.
