Lost Me, Gained Regret (Jane and Bryant Ferguson) novel Chapter 513

And besides, whether or not she'd be kicked to the curb was a worry for another day. But the moment Jane returned, half of the Myers' family fortune would have to be split with her.

And it was all supposed to be hers!

That witch, Jane, what right did she have to take it?

Susan watched her helplessly, "Scared now, are you?"

"Aren't you scared?"

"What good would that do?"

A hint of ruthlessness flashed in Susan's eyes, as if she had a plan all along, "Just do as you're told, and I promise, you'll end up with more than you could imagine."

Dorothy was puzzled, "More? How?"

Where could possibly more come from?

The corners of Susan's lips turned up in a knowing smile, even the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes seemed to hold a bit of cunning, "You'll find out soon enough."

Dorothy felt reassured, "You've got everything under control?"

"That sanatorium... do we need to... fix anything there?"

"No need!"

Susan poured her another cup of tea, handing it to her, "Is it really worth getting this worked up, to the point of breaking things? Minor damage aside, what if you enraged him and he turned on you? What then?"

Dorothy took a sip of tea, lifting her chin with a smirk, "Well, I'm in my own house, aren't I?"

"At least there's some sense in you!"

Susan was relieved, then cautioned, "And stop trying to scheme your way into getting that gala invitation, understand? How embarrassing!"

"Got it, I'll listen to Mom."

Dorothy agreed, her face the picture of obedience.

If she couldn't get the invitation, then so be it. She'd just wait outside, snag a photo with Bella, and that'd be enough to dazzle the few has-beens around her.

And she didn't believe for a second that Bella would actually slap the Myers family in the face. More likely, they just hadn't sorted the guest list yet, which is why her invitation was delayed.
