Lost Me, Gained Regret (Jane and Bryant Ferguson) novel Chapter 53

I was on the verge of laughing out loud in frustration.

In the end, Bryant's the one to blame for spoiling her so much that she's got no shame.

I couldn't help but smirk, my voice icy as I spoke, "And what exactly makes you part of the Ferguson family? Last I checked, it took begging from your dad to even change your name, and Timothy didn't exactly welcome you with open arms into the family tree, did he?"

"By that logic, this car is more rightfully mine, since I'm Bryant's lawfully wedded wife."

I enunciated every word, watching her facade crack bit by bit, a wave of satisfaction rising within me.

She gritted her teeth, "You're getting a divorce!"

"Well, it hasn't happened yet, has it? Until it does, I'm still more legitimate than you." I couldn't help but smirk.

"Shameless!" Fury blazed in her eyes as she glared at me, "If you're so set on divorcing, then hurry up and do it! What's the point in clinging to Bryant?"

"Who's clinging to whom, I wonder?"

"What's that supposed to mean?"

As if she heard something utterly unbelievable, her face twisted in scorn, "Don't tell me you're suggesting Bryant can't let go of you?"

I scoffed coldly, "Why don't you ask him who came looking for me after a few drinks last night..."

Slap!

Her hand moved faster than I anticipated, her slap landing sharply across my face.

I hadn't expected her to lash out like this, the sting of the slap sending my head turning to one side, burning with pain!

The employees of Ferguson Group who happened to witness the scene were shocked.

My anger spiked, and just as I was about to retaliate, a strong hand firmly caught my wrist.

Bryant's face was stormy as he scolded, "Jane, since when did you enjoy resorting to violence?"

With that, he harshly let go of me!

My ankle, still not fully healed, wobbled under me, causing me to stagger back several steps until my back hit the car with a dull thud.

Thankfully, my stomach was spared.
