Regretting the Wife He Threw Away novel Chapter 522

The phone rang twice before Stewart picked up.

“Stewart, Ms. Kensington wants to discuss something with you... Okay, I’ll hand the phone over.”

Cedric Clarke passed the phone to Briony.

Stewart’s deep, gravelly voice came through the receiver. “What’s on your mind?”

“I want to sell them,” Briony replied evenly. “Ferdinand’s called several times asking to discuss the shares. I assume he’s doing it for Fred.”

There was a pause on the other end. Then Stewart asked, “Do you trust Ferdinand?”

“If he weren’t Fred’s son, maybe I would,” Briony answered matter-of-factly. “Stewart, Fred’s running The Wentworth Group now, and you two never got along. I’m worried Fred might take things out on the kids because of you. That’s why I don’t want any more ties to The Wentworth Group.”

“Alright. If you’ve decided to sell, just do it—sell them to Ferdinand.”

Briony frowned. “You don’t mind?”

“I could sell them to someone else,” Briony said quietly.

“You’re selling either way. Better just to hand them over to Ferdinand.”

“Why?”
