Regretting The Wife He Threw Away

Chapter 69

Briony's brow furrowed in frustration as she ended the call with a sharp tap. Her face had gone pale, and her hand trembled so badly from anger that she nearly dropped her phone.

"Ms. Kensington, are you alright?" Cedric Clarke asked, immediately noticing her distress.

Briony shook her head. "I'm fine."

"That was Mack, wasn't it?"

She pressed her lips together and didn't respond.

Cedric seemed to understand at once. He let out a quiet sigh. He'd heard bits and pieces about Briony's situation with the Kensingtons. In their eyes, Julia was the one responsible for Malcolm's death-and since Briony had always protected Julia, she'd become a pariah to the whole family.

Now that a donor match had finally been found, the Kensingtons were bound to use this as an opportunity to humiliate her-he could only imagine what they'd put her through.

After a moment's thought, Cedric said cautiously, "You know, you could try reaching out to Stewart."

Briony frowned. "I'm not going to do that."

"Are you sure you're not misunderstanding him?" Cedric pressed gently.

He couldn't shake the feeling that there was some complicated, unspoken tension between Briony and Stewart. But he knew Stewart well-he already had a family with Rosita. He would never be unfaithful. And Briony didn't seem like the type of woman who'd get between a couple.
