Lost Me, Gained Regret (Jane and Bryant Ferguson) novel Chapter 383

"Just, I'm a bit confused," I said. "Mark, is there something you're trying to say?"

"Nothing."

"Oh, okay then."

I chuckled and glanced at my watch, "Looks like it's about time for me to head over to Vista Town."

"You..." He hesitated for a moment. "Is there still a chance for you and Bryant?"

"Mark."

I laughed, somewhat helplessly, "I'm really not in the mood to think about this right now. If you're trying to play matchmaker for him, please don't."

"I'm not here to patch things up for him."

He seemed to be gauging my reaction, hesitating before he spoke, "It's... there's something I'm not sure if I should tell you."

"What is it?"

"It's about the Myers family's fake heiress. I heard it from Molly."

Mark carefully said, "Have you ever wondered why she could replace you, who's pulling the strings behind her?"

"It must be Dorothy and her gang, right?"

Maybe there were others involved, but I had no leads at the moment. It was clear this scheme was targeted at me. Ordinary folks wouldn't dare meddle in the Myers family's affairs. But among those with power and influence, besides them, I couldn't think of anyone else I might have offended.

With this thought, I suddenly turned to Mark, "Do you know something?"

He avoided my gaze, "Never mind, it's just a guess."

The more he said that, the more I felt there was something he wasn't telling me. I pressed on, "What guess?"

Mark seemed troubled and after a long pause, he said, "You... you have to promise me, you'll handle this calmly, don't act rashly. It's very likely I'm wrong, just a misunderstanding."

"I'll try my best."
