Lost Me, Gained Regret (Jane and Bryant Ferguson) novel Chapter 505

Alaric believed his reasoning was solid, and for a moment, it seemed Bryant agreed, nodding with an air of neutrality, "Well said."

Just as Alaric began to relax, Bryant's expression darkened, and with a crushing motion, he extinguished his fiery red cigarette butt, "Breaking one of your legs should square us."

"Wait, what?"

Alaric was quick to clasp around his leg, pleading, "Mr. Ferguson, I was wrong! I got carried away, please spare me..."

His leg injury from that mishap in Old Creek hadn't fully healed, and now he was risking another!

Realizing pleading with Bryant was futile, he turned to York, "Cousin, please, help me out here..."

"You had it coming."

Without waiting for Bryant to react, York ordered his men to haul Alaric away.

Nadine's face turned ghostly pale as she sensed the stark divisions within this world!

Alaric could easily manipulate her.

But in Bryant's presence, he was less than a dog.

The commotion drained Bryant of any remaining interest, and as he stood to leave, he paused to glance at Nadine in the corner, his expression softening for a moment.

He instructed York, "Take care of her."

"Will do."

Knowing each other for years and working together just as long, York knew exactly what he meant.

They had to ensure Nadine was safe from Alaric, the mad dog, should he decide to bite back.

Upon learning Nadine needed funds for her mother's surgery, Bryant had her transferred to the BlessedCare Medical Facility, putting it on the company's tab.

After all, that was a promise Bryant intended to keep.

Anything Alaric could offer, they would provide as well.

The next day, as Bryant stepped into his office, Kevin followed closely with an invitation in hand.

"What's this?" Bryant inquired.

"It's an invitation from Bella for a celebration party next Wednesday," Kevin handed it over, "She's waiting at the reception for your reply. Will you attend?"

"I'll go."
