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.

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

The crowd exploded.

"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
