Regretting the Wife He Threw Away novel Chapter 591

Mary’s penthouse suite occupied the very top floor of the hotel, a sanctuary of privacy and quiet.

At Briony’s knock, the door swung open almost immediately.

Mary stood there in a beige dress, her delicate features bare of makeup, lips pale as if the color had drained from them.

“Briony, thank you for coming,” Mary’s voice trembled on the edge of tears.

Briony, with a woman’s intuition, saw right away that Mary was in a bad place.

She stepped inside, and Mary closed the door quietly behind her.

“Briony, can I get you something to drink? There’s coffee, tea, juice—”

“Mary, I didn’t come here to catch up,” Briony interrupted, fixing her with a steady gaze. “Just say what you want to say.”

Mary looked at her, eyes shining with unshed tears.

“Briony, are you disappointed in me?”

“There’s no point asking that now,” Briony replied. “Mary, you’ve fought hard for everything you’ve achieved. But today, you’re willing to gamble your entire career for what you call love. Whether as your boss or as your friend, I can’t support that.”

“But I love him…” Mary’s voice broke as she choked back a sob. “Briony, I can’t control myself. When I found out I was carrying Ferdinand’s child, I couldn’t convince myself it was just an accident. This baby must have come into my life for a reason. I want him—I need him.”

Briony felt a headache coming on.

“Mary, if you’re sure about keeping the baby, you could’ve just told me. Instead, you waited until the tabloids exposed it, putting me, Starlight Entertainment, and the whole team on the defensive.”

“I’m sorry. I thought I could handle it. I didn’t expect to get caught by some paparazzi.”
