Lost Me, Gained Regret (Jane and Bryant Ferguson) novel Chapter 401

"Right, guess who it is?"

"The new it-girl everyone's talking about?"

"No, no, think bigger."

"Bigger?"

"Bella Taylor!"

I was taken aback for a moment. "Christine Jackson, you're connected with that crowd now?"

Bella, one of the industry's leading ladies, had become a sensation right out of the gate over two decades ago.

Rumor had it her background was impressive, but in all these years, no one had managed to dig up anything concrete. Either the rumors were false, or her family was untouchable by ordinary standards.

In recent years, she had stepped back from acting, becoming a powerhouse producer instead.

Every time she made a public appearance, she stirred as much buzz as the biggest names out there.

"This isn't about my connections."

Christine shook her head, barely containing her excitement. "She saw your design at the fashion show last month, loved it, and had her agent reach out to see if you could do a custom piece for her."

She was worried I couldn't keep up, as I only released two custom slots a month.

But all that work was under my international alias in the design world.

Nobody knew that behind Janedream's designs was Jane Webster.

She poked me in the forehead. "You still think you're the Jane from two years ago? Now, we've got stars lining up for our custom designs, all hoping to make a splash on the red carpet."

I teased her. "And Bella?"

"Cough... she's not just any star, she's a legend. We need to stay on her good side."

Christine got cold feet but quickly changed the subject. "Anyway, what's your plan? I don't believe you came back just for this."

I leaned back on the couch, resting my head on my hand. "When I left two years ago, I was in a bad place. There were things I needed to sort out."

Back then, just getting through each day was a struggle, let alone anything else.

The feud with the Myers family.

The split of shares between Janedream and RF.

...

Christine asked, "So what's first on your agenda?"

"One thing at a time."

I pursed my lips. "You've got a meeting with Bella the day after tomorrow, right?"
