Regretting The Wife He Threw Away

Chapter 316

Briony stood her ground, eyeing Stewart from several feet away. "Stewart, the hearing is tomorrow. I've already hired a lawyer. If you want to talk about divorce, take it up with my attorney."

Stewart pressed his lips together, looking resigned. He let out a soft sigh. "I just wanted to ask-how's Mrs. Hudson doing?"

"That's really none of Attorney Wentworth's concern," Briony replied coolly.

Her tone was icy, but Stewart acted oblivious, speaking as if everything were perfectly normal. "If her treatment isn't going well, I've contacted some specialists overseas. I can arrange for them to come over anytime."

"That won't be necessary," Briony snapped, unable to stand his patronizing attitude. "I have complete faith in Dr. Ellsworth."

"Ferdinand?" Stewart's lips curled into a cold, mocking smile. "How much do you really know about him? Briony, four years have passed and you're still just as naïve."

Briony could hardly believe it—what was wrong with this man?

Who she trusted was none of his business.

She couldn't be bothered to argue. "Just go, Stewart. From now on, let's stay out

of each other's lives. For anything concerning the divorce, talk to my lawyer."

"It's just as well if you don't show up in court tomorrow," Stewart said, his expression a blend of a smirk and a sneer. "It'll save you a wasted trip."

Briony's face darkened. "What's that supposed to mean?"

"I told you there's no way you're winning this case." Stewart's eyes were sharp, his gaze unwavering. "Briony, we're not getting divorced."

His certainty was almost laughable.

"Stewart, you don't run the court."

"As a lawyer, I respect the law," Stewart replied calmly. "But things aren't as simple as you think. If you want to go through with this, I'll go through it with you. But the outcome-I'll decide that."
