Regretting the Wife He Threw Away

Chapter 575

Briony threw back the covers and stood up. "It's getting late-I should go," she said briskly.

She headed straight for the door, completely oblivious to the sudden shift in the man's expression behind her.

An instant later, a sharp pain shot through the back of her neck—and then everything went black.

Ferdinand caught Briony's limp body as she collapsed, the madness he'd been holding back now breaking through in his eyes.

"Bryn, if you won't listen, I'm afraid I have no choice but to do this."

...

Briony drifted in and out of consciousness, her mind foggy and her body feeling oddly weightless. Though her senses hadn't fully returned, a flicker of awareness began to stir.

She struggled, brow furrowing as she forced her heavy eyelids open.

Streetlights slid past in blurred streaks, their glow flickering through the windows of a dimly lit car interior.

Was she in someone's car?

Briony tried to sit up, but exhaustion dragged her back under, and she slipped into darkness again.

...

The city streets were nearly empty in the dead of night.

A black sedan trailed behind Ferdinand's car, keeping a careful, steady distance.
