Lost Me, Gained Regret (Jane and Bryant Ferguson) novel Chapter 317

It just didn't make sense.

Every stitch I made was even and tight, and I had the entire dress tailored to her body so perfectly that even if the strap broke, it would catch on her chest instead of falling off immediately. Unless the zipper at the back also gave way at the same time.

But that couldn't be. The fabric and zipper were from suppliers I'd worked with since my days at the Ferguson Group. Quality was never a question. After all, I made the dress with my own hands.

Grabbing my coat, I rushed onstage to cover her up, but she slapped me across the face as if possessed! "Did you do this on purpose to humiliate me today?"

Without thinking, I slapped her back. "Dorothy, I'm not foolish enough to ruin my own reputation!"

Dorothy glared at me, lunging again, but Bryant, calm as ever, stepped in from nowhere, pulling her behind him and draping his jacket over her shoulders. What a perfect picture of a knight in shining armor.

Susan approached with two bodyguards, visibly shaking with anger. "Lock her up!"

Seeing Bryant's furrowed brow, Susan scoffed, "Mr. Ferguson, you're not defending her today, are you?"

"Of course not." Bryant didn't glance my way, his voice as cold as midwinter frost, "She's just an ex-wife."

"Good!" At Susan's command, the bodyguards moved in.

I knew I was on the Myers family’s territory, flanked by bodyguards who were just the tip of the iceberg. Lowering my gaze, too tired to resist, I said, "No need for force. I'll go quietly."
