Lost Me, Gained Regret (Jane and Bryant Ferguson) novel Chapter 271

"Seriously, how many times do I have to say it? He's out of your league! Why won't you believe me?"

She covered her mouth and laughed mockingly before grabbing my cheeks harshly and coming closer, her voice filled with spite. "Why bring this upon yourself? You think I'm like that stupid Margaret, dreaming of entering the Ferguson estate but can't even handle a pebble like you in my path? Look, Jane, I've always gotten what I wanted, never missed once. If I can't have it, you think my mom will just sit back and watch me be unhappy? What makes you think you can compete with me, all alone and powerless?"

As she spoke, she glanced at a tattooed thug nearby. "Call Bryant."

"Right." The tattooed man immediately made the call.

I frowned at Dorothy, saying icily, "You're in cahoots with Jarrod. What are you planning?!"

"What do you think?"

She smirked, clapping her hands as she stood up, looking down at me. "Worried I'll harm Bryant? Please, he's the husband I've carefully chosen. Instead of worrying about him, you should be worrying about yourself."

I looked up. "What do you want from me?"

"Well, let's see," Dorothy said, hands clasped behind her back as she leaned in, "if both of us were kidnapped, and he could only save one, who do you think he'd choose?"

I paused.

He had told me this morning to trust him. He told me to always trust him, no matter what.

I clenched my fists as I replied, "I don't know."

After all, the last time it came down to choosing, Bryant didn't even glance my way.

Besides, I was afraid of angering Dorothy further. Who knows what madness she could unleash?

With the Myers family backing her, she could probably get away with murder here today.

"Don't know, huh?"
