Lost Me, Gained Regret (Jane and Bryant Ferguson) novel Chapter 321

"Could be worse." I grabbed a towel to dry my hair. Once my body warmed up, I turned to Gregory. "Something going down on the internet?"

He shot back. "You did it?"

"What?" I was puzzled and bounced the question back to him.

He looked at me for a while and raised an eyebrow. "Guess I gave you too much credit."

After saying that, he pulled his phone from his pocket and handed it over. "See for yourself."

I asked, "Password?"

"Your birthday." he replied.

I paused, taken aback.

He smirked slightly, saying, "Daydreaming much? You share a birthday with her."

I sighed. "Right. You could've mentioned that earlier."

It must've been the cold, so I didn't catch that immediately.

After unlocking the phone, I quickly found the issue Susan was talking about. Dorothy was outed as a homewrecker, using dirty tricks to force the wife into a divorce and even kidnapped the wife. There were videos released from River Villa's underground parking lot, showing her people kidnapping me, footage that the Myers family had tried to erase.

The public backlash against her was fierce. But Bryant wasn't spared, either.

[Jeez... turns out being born into the right family does let you get away with murder.]

The person who leaked it knew everything inside out. It wasn't me. It was not Dorothy. That only left...

While I hesitated to jump to conclusions, Gregory calmly spoke, "Your ex went the distance for you, dragging himself through the mud to get the Myers family to let you go."

I hadn't sorted my thoughts yet. "Hmm?"

"There were only two ways to save you today." Gregory held up two fingers, laying it out for me, "One, do it as I did, walking right into the Myers place and taking you. Bryant couldn't do that. There are too many complications.

"Two, use something else to force the Myers family’s hand, like public pressure. With the scandal, the Myers family can't afford to touch you, not today, and they'll have to ensure you're safe for a while."

Hearing that, my grip on the towel tightened.

Ignoring the nagging doubts, I looked straight at Gregory. "And you, why did you come to save me today? And why the patience explaining all this to me?"
