Regretting The Wife He Threw Away

"My mother hit you. I told her she'd have to pay you compensation and come apologize in person. If you don't forgive her, that's fine. Yesterday, I already had her sent abroad. From now on, she isn't allowed to come back without my

permission."

Stewart stepped forward, reaching into his pocket and pulling out a blue velvet jewelry box.

When he opened it, the diamond ring inside glimmered beneath the lights—huge and dazzling.

Briony's brow furrowed.

Wasn't this the same ring Stewart had given Rosita?

"I promised you a wedding. This ring was custom-made for you—there's not another like it in the world."

"Stewart, if you're going to lie, at least switch up your props." Briony shot him a cold, mocking look. "I saw that ring on Rosita's Instagram ages ago. It's the one you proposed to her with! Who exactly are you trying to disgust with this stunt?" For a moment, Stewart was thrown off guard-but only for a moment.

"Seems Rosita's done quite a few things behind my back." He didn't bother to explain further.

He simply took out the ring and held it out to Briony. "Look inside the band. You'll see the initials of every part of your name engraved there. This ring was always meant for you."

"True or not, it doesn't matter to me anymore."

Briony's gaze was icy. "Stewart, I don't care! Even if you cut out your heart and handed it to me, I wouldn't go back to you!"

Stewart stared at her, eyes never wavering.
