Regretting the Wife He Threw Away

Chapter 685

Chapter 685

Briony had been about to leave when she noticed Stewart moving toward the

woman surrounded by reporters.

She stopped in her tracks, watching as Stewart crossed the floor, step by step,

until he stood at the woman's side.

The woman had a striking bob and a pair of sunglasses perched on her nose.

As Stewart reached her, she slipped her arm naturally through his and, with her

free hand, removed her sunglasses.

An exquisite, coldly beautiful face was revealed to the crowd.

Looking straight at the reporters, she exuded an unshakeable confidence; her

gaze was cool and commanding, yet her crimson lips were curved in a flawless,

practiced smile.

“I'd hoped to introduce my fiancé to you all at a more suitable occasion," she said,

her voice clear and ringing. "But since you're all so curious, I suppose now is as

good a time as any this is Mr. Wentworth, the man I am about to marry."

The crowd exploded.

"Mr. Wentworth?! Didn't he die in that accident last year?"

"It's really Stewart the former CEO of The Wentworth Group... Xenia Cooper's

fiancé is actually him?"

Briony stared, frozen.

acquiescence-

"partner" he'd mentioned must have been Ms. Cooper.

On New Year's Eve, he'd rushed back home-before that, was he with Ms.

Cooper?

No wonder he'd said, "It's a personal matter."

Spending time with his fiancée certainly qualified.

Briony couldn't even describe how she felt.

After the initial shock faded, reality crashed in: even if Stewart remarried, it had
