“Briony.”
Stewart grew impatient when she didn’t answer right away. His voice tightened with urgency. “As compensation, I’ll add another ten million to the agreement. You—”
“That’s not necessary.” Briony cut him off, wiping away her tears with the back of her hand. “The agreement doesn’t need to change. I’ll help you clear things up.”
Her heart was numb, colder than ever. All she wanted now was to end this marriage as quickly as possible, to get as far away from Stewart and Rosita as she could.
She was done being the fool in their love story.
On the other end, Stewart was silent for a moment, then tried again. “Or you can ask for something else. Anything.”
“Other than getting this divorce finalized,” Briony replied, her voice icy, “I want nothing from you. Nothing at all.”
With that, she hung up the phone.
Her hands trembling, Briony opened Facebook and logged in.
But Facebook offered her no refuge, either.
The very first post on her feed was from Rosita.
She clicked in—
Rosita: *First of all, thank you to all my fans and everyone who’s reached out with concern. Mr. Wentworth and I are both doing well. As for the rumors and wild stories being spread based on photos, I never believed them, and I hope you won’t either.*
*I really don’t want my personal life to take up public space, but seeing so many unfair comments about Mr. Wentworth has upset me deeply.*
*He’s not just my partner; he’s an outstanding lawyer and a private person. I don’t want his life to be turned into gossip fodder just because he’s with me. I hope my fans can give him some space, just as you’ve always supported me.*
*If you care about me, please care for Mr. Wentworth too.*
The moment Rosita posted her lengthy statement, the story exploded again.
Fans flooded the comment section with support.
Soon, someone posted a screenshot of a statement released by Stewart himself.
He’d used his law firm’s official account to issue a formal statement—complete with a notice of legal action against the original source of the rumors.
