Lost Me, Gained Regret (Jane and Bryant Ferguson) novel Chapter 449

Given Ophelia's efficiency, it was about time she delivered some results.

He was desperate to know.

What exactly happened to Jane two years ago?

He asked, "Did you find anything?"

"Yes."

Ophelia began in her usual organized manner. "Your hunch was correct. Two years ago, Jane went abroad, to France. I've sent all the related documents to your email just a minute ago."

Gregory let out a sigh of relief, "She's been overseas all this time?"

"Correct."

"Go on."

"But she wasn't alone."

Ophelia's tone remained steady, "She was accompanied by Mark. Mark owns a villa in France, and that's where Jane has been living for the past two years."

Gregory's grip on his phone tightened, "Is this information confirmed?"

"Lucius helped me with the investigation."

Continuing, Ophelia dropped another bombshell, "Mark initially stayed with Jane for just over a month before he had to return due to business with the Larson Group. After that, he frequently visited her, staying for days at a time."

There was a long silence on the other end of the line.

Gregory pinched the bridge of his nose, feeling a surge of anger boiling inside!

So, this was why Jane had been so evasive every time he brought it up?

Still, Gregory wasn't ready to accept this just yet, his voice hoarse, "What has she been doing in France these two years?"

"Studying design, becoming Dave's protégé."

Ophelia teased out the information, "Apparently, all arranged by Mark."

Gregory's knuckles turned white from the grip, his tone dangerously low, "That's it?"

"…That's it!"

Ophelia intended to stand firm but feared the blowback, "Don't worry, I'll keep digging. I know your relationship with Jane is special, I won't miss any detail."

"Greg…" Ophelia softened her tone, trying to be the voice of reason, "Maybe Jane thought you were gone after that explosion and made her choices. You can't blame her, after all, even the police had reported your death…"

Crash!

The sound of something smashing violently came through the phone, followed by a burst of static.

Ophelia, satisfied, dived back into her work.

Having been by Gregory's side for years, she learned one thing: in any situation, there's only success, no failure.

Before, she hated to see Gregory disappointed.

Now, she didn't want to disappoint herself.
