Lost Me, Gained Regret (Jane and Bryant Ferguson) novel Chapter 391

[Mrs. Adah Ford was on the verge of a breakdown.]

[Johnny Ford joins the Ford Group.]

[Mr. Johnny and Mr. Gregory in the Ford Group]

[Mr. Johnny, a threat to Mr. Gregory's position.]

[Mr. Johnny is in secret talks with the RF Group.]

...

By evening, the whispers had become a roar. Upon seeing the last piece of gossip, I couldn't help but call Bryant. "Did you have a hand in this?"

There was a pause on the other end, followed by a sarcastic laugh. "Which part are you referring to? The Myers family's so-called heiress or the Ford family's mess?"

I said firmly, "You know what I'm talking about."

"If you say so, yes, all of it." His voice was cold, the flick of his lighter echoing through the phone. "Jane, come back to being Mrs. Ferguson. I can handle it for you, whether the Myers or the Ford families’ mess."

I paused, unsure. "The Ford family’s mess?"

"Gregory's mess," he clarified, his voice rough with the drag of a cigarette. "You think Klein just wanted you to leave Gregory? He's also eyeing a partnership with the RF Group to elevate the Ford family's status."

I forced myself to stay calm. "You know about Johnny, the Ford family's illegitimate son?"

Bryant replied, "In passing. He was a high school classmate of York."

Suddenly, it all made sense. What made Klein willing to give up Gregory? It wasn't about me. It was about benefits.
