EuropeNovelChapter 522 The phone rang twice before Stewart picked up.
"Stewart, Ms. Kensington wants to discuss something with you... Okay, I'll hand the phone over." Cedric Clarke passed the phone to Briony.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtTaking it, Briony said, "I'd like to talk to you about the Little Nina shares." Stewart's deep, gravelly voice cthrough the receiver. "What's on your mind?" "I want to sell them," Briony replied evenly. "Ferdinand's called several times asking to discuss the shares. I asshe's doing it for Fred." There was a pause on the other end. Then Stewart asked, "Do you trust Ferdinand?" "If he weren't Fred's son, maybe I would," Briony answered matter-of-factly. "Stewart, Fred's running The Wentworth Group now, and you two never got along. I'm worried Fred might take things out on the kids because of you. That's why I don't want any more ties to The Wentworth Group." "Alright. If you've decided to sell, just do it-sell them to Ferdinand." Briony frowned. "You don't mind?" "They were always meant for my daughter. I used to think shares were better than cash-as long as The Wentworth Group was stable, that ten percent dividend would be a steady financial cushion for her. But now the company's changed hands, and the future's uncertain. Better to sell while we can." "I could sell them to someone else," Briony said quietly.
"You're selling either way. Better just to hand them over to Ferdinand." "Why?" "Set the price a little lower, as a gesture. Consider it sending a clear signal to Fred," Stewart said, his tone low. "And make sure you promise Ferdinand that Mawill never return to the Wentworth family. The kids will stay with you. From now on, they'll have no further connection to the Wentworths." Briony listened in silence, then finally murmured, "Alright." She handed the phone back to Cedric Clarke.
He pressed it to his ear. "Anything else you needto do?" "Stay with them when she negotiates with Ferdinand," Stewart said, voice dropping even lower. "And make sure a lawyer goes over the contract line by line." "Yeah, yeah, got it," Cedric muttered. "She's got her own lawyers anyway. You worry too much. If that's all, I'II hang up now." Stewart said nothing more; the call ended.
Cedric set the phone on the table, looking across at Briony. "Stewart wantsto be with you when you talk to Ferdinand. But I'm guessing you'll bring your own lawyer, right?" Briony nodded and stood up. "Yeah. If there's nothing else, I'll head back to Skybreeze Retreat." "Keep those documents safe." Cedric gathered the papers into a folder and handed it to her. "Stewart worked hard for these. He wanted you-well, the kids- to have them." Briony lowered her gaze, staring at the folder for a moment.
Finally, she reached out and took it, glancing up at Cedric. Thank you. I'll Keep The content is on The contri novelenglish.net! them safe for the kids and hand them over when they're grown." "Good. Stewart will rest easier

Cedric watched her go, scratching the back of his head with a puzzled frown.
