Lost Me, Gained Regret (Jane and Bryant Ferguson) novel Chapter 300

I had wandered off, the chatter around me turning into a distant hum. But the word "lovers" cut through the noise loud and clear. Me? A singleton? That term couldn't be further from my reality.

The Myers Mansion was a maze, just as Ramona had warned. Eventually, I had to swallow my pride and ask a servant for directions to find the dining room.

"Ah, you must be the Ms. Webster the matriarch has been buzzing about all morning?"

Spotting me as I navigated my way, the butler promptly instructed the staff to whip up an additional breakfast.

I offered a small smile and a word of thanks before settling for a peaceful meal, prompting the butler to leave.

Midway through my breakfast, a shadow loomed over me, and before I knew it, an accusation hurled my way.

"Jane, I'm warning you. Keep your distance from my family! I don't give a hoot about whatever plans you've got up your sleeve, but quit sucking up to my grandma."

My spoonful of oatmeal didn't falter as I replied, "And what schemes would those be?"

Dorothy huffed. "As if you don't know. You're not over Bryant and trying to use my grandma to get back in his good books to lure him back."

"Dorothy, I'm not like you." I set down my spoon and frowned. "I still have some dignity."

I could be devoted or deep in love, but stooping to desperate measures? That was way too embarrassing.

"You!" Dorothy rolled her eyes dramatically and suddenly broke into a sly grin. "You were behind that payback the other day, weren't you?"
