Lost Me, Gained Regret (Jane and Bryant Ferguson) novel Chapter 456

After the dinner party wrapped up, a few more of Gregory's friends arrived for the second half of the evening.

And an uninvited guest.

It was my first time laying eyes on Palmer Ford, the notorious illegitimate son of the Ford family.

Dressed in a sleek black suit, he confidently pushed open the private room door, leaning against it with a sinister smile that somewhat resembled Gregory's. With a flick of his finger, he knocked on the door.

Gregory, unaffected, casually played his cards.

Then he won several times.

Clarence exploded. "Damn, you're cheating, aren't you?!"

Silence fell.

The stakes were high, and by the end, Gregory had pocketed a seven-figure sum.

Dailey chuckled, "Seems like your wife brings you luck?"

"Somewhat."

Gregory's modesty was belied by the thick amusement in his gaze.

Christine, while resetting the automatic tile shuffler, complained, "Jane, your man not only snatched you away but now he's taking my money too."

"Fair game."

Gregory laughed, generously offering, "But hey, about the rent for your shop, Clarence could waive it for you."

Clarence retorted, "Greg, playing the generous host with someone else's money? Classic."

"Not cool?"

Gregory shot back.

Clarence glanced at Christine and generously declared, "Of course, it's cool. Nice to meet your lady today, consider it a welcome gift."

"Thanks, Clarence!"
