This move infuriated the company's senior shareholders.

At the end of March, Uncle Edward and Uncle Charles from the Cooper family joined forces with several veteran board members to call an emergency shareholders' meeting.

Their goal was clear: use the accusation that Xenia Cooper was shielding Stewart for personal reasons as grounds to force her to step down as CEO of Neonova Syndicate.

Stewart attended the meeting as well.

Technically, he had no right to be there he didn't own any Cooper family shares.

But that day, Stewart calmly produced evidence that, eight years ago, Uncle Edward and Uncle Charles had hired a hitman.

The intended victims? The Cooper family's eldest son and Xenia Cooper's then- fiancé.

A staged car accident had left one dead and one gravely injured, while the perpetrators walked free for eight long years.

The moment Stewart unveiled the evidence, the room erupted.

Within minutes, detectives entered and escorted both uncles out.

The shareholders' meeting ended in chaos.

After eight years of patience and quiet endurance, Xenia Cooper had finally achieved her goal.

Back in her office, Xenia was in high spirits. She turned to Stewart and said, "You've worked hard these past two months. Take three days off-go hand spend stwith your son." Stewart nodded, then headed for the door.

"Stewart," Xenia called after him.

He paused, turning back to look at her.

"I'm only telling you to spend twith your son," Xenia reminded him. "But don't forget, you're still my husband-at least in the eyes of the public. Don't go looking for your ex-wife. You wouldn't want her to be seen as the 'other woman,' would you?" Stewart's brow furrowed.

He couldn't bear the thought of Briony being accused of something like that—not again.

She'd already suffered enough because of him once before.

He wouldn't risk it a second time.

Xenia walked over, meeting his gaze. "Stewart, there are plenty of people in this world who love in vain. Since you've made your choice, you can't have it both ways. Don't let your indecision turn two women into rivals. Do you understand what I'm saying?" Stewart looked at her, his face expressionless, his eyes cold and unreadable.

"Xenia, this is just business between us. Nothing more." "But right now, all of Northborough-hell, the whole country-knows you're my husband," Xenia said with a smile. "To everyone else, you're my man." Stewart's expression darkened. "I'll stick to the agreement. But Xenia, if you go after Briony again, don't blme for breaking our partnership." Xenia grinned, unfazed. "Relax, I trust you. After all, I picked you as my perfect partner the moment I laid eyes on you." Then, more 21.ne businesslike, "Go home. Three days from now is Vernon Cooper's birthday party. You'll need to be there as his father." Stewart gave a curt nod and left the office.

Briony had returned to work in early March.

Today marked exactly one month since she'd rejoined the workforce.

She was doing well-her days were productive, and Kendal Ellsworth stopped by every week for a checkup and acupuncture session. Thanks to Kendal's care, her color had returned and she'd even gained a little weight.

After Maynard handed Starlight Entertainment back to Briony he still found excuses to visit the company ΕΠ every few days. He always claimed it was for work, but anyone with eyes could see that Mr.

Maynard's real intentions had nothing to do with business.

Springtin Northborough meant frequent rain, and today was nom exception-Phad exception it had been pouring all day.

By the end of the workday, the rain hadn't let up at all.

Briony drove out of Starlight Entertainment and headed toward Pearbrook Mansion.

Traffic was heavy.

Suddenly, her phone rang in her bag.

It was Marlene.

Briony put on her Bluetooth headset and answered, "Marlene, what's going on?" "Ms. Kensington-Mary's water just broke!"
