Regretting The Wife He Threw Away

In the end, Ferdinand agreed to Briony's request.

But there was a catch: she had to wait until she was looking and feeling a bit stronger.

Their destination was the biggest shopping mall in downtown Marblecliff.

Ferdinand was swamped with urgent business that day and couldn't join them, so he sent Gifford and a small team to shadow the women discreetly, dressed in plain clothes and keeping a careful distance.
