Regretting the Wife He Threw Away novel Chapter 543

Three days later, Briony got a message from Lorna.

“Thank you for the photo album. Stewart has decided to go to Switzerland for treatment.”

Briony was in the middle of Starlight Entertainment’s weekly meeting when the message came in. She glanced at her phone but didn’t reply.

When the meeting finally ended, she left the conference room and headed straight for her office.

Mary trailed after her.

Once inside, Mary closed the door and hurried over, eyes shining with anticipation. “Briony, have you heard from Mr. Ellsworth?”

Briony sat down at her desk and looked up at the young woman standing before her—a lively twenty-four-year-old whose expressive eyes were her greatest asset on screen. Today, those eyes were filled with the hopeful secrets of a girl nursing a crush.

“I haven’t been in touch with him for a while,” Briony said after a pause. “Haven’t you tried reaching out?”

“I have!” Mary pouted. “He’s not replying to my messages, and he won’t pick up my calls. I’m at my wits’ end.”

“Sorry, I can’t help you this time.”

Mary blinked, her curiosity undimmed. “Did you two have a fight? Did Mr. Ellsworth upset you?”

“No,” Briony replied simply. “If you really want to find him, you can try your luck at the old town’s clinic.”

“The old town?” Mary’s eyes lit up with renewed determination. “Briony, just so you know, I’m thinking of pursuing Mr. Ellsworth. You’re not going to forbid me from dating, right?”

Briony hesitated for a moment. It was a fair question.

As a rising star, Mary’s personal life was always under scrutiny. Briony certainly didn’t want her using relationships as tabloid fodder. If it was someone from the industry, the risk of their romance being exposed was high—but if it was someone like Ferdinand, an outsider, it wouldn’t have much impact.

“It’s fine to date someone outside the industry—as long as you keep it discreet.”
