Lost Me, Gained Regret (Jane and Bryant Ferguson) novel Chapter 551

Gregory didn't move, just gazed at me, his face a mask of seriousness. "Jane, are you trying to give me a heart attack?"

"…I’m sorry." I murmured

I knew he was also referring to the incident earlier in the day. I reached out and hooked his pinky finger, gently shaking it. "I was wrong, Gregory. Thinking about it now, I still feel terrified."

"Scared now, are you?"

"Yeah… scared." I looked up at him. "The moment I heard that gunshot, all I could think about was what you would do if I died…"

Before I could finish, he suddenly pulled me into a tight embrace, his chin resting on top of my head. "You've got some conscience, at least. Knowing this, you can't be so reckless again."

"Okay."

I gently rubbed against his chest, suddenly curious. "But if I really had died, what would you have…"

He abruptly pinched my face, cutting me off with a stern look.

"Don't talk about such unlucky things. You shouldn’t ask."

His eyes locked onto mine, serious. "I sent you Lucius' number. If you can't reach me again, call him immediately."

"Alright."

Just as I finished speaking, Lucius called.

"Greg, it’s just like you thought. Those guys went back to the abandoned factory near the Sky Island Mansion, but for some reason, they switched locations. When I got there, the cigarette butts in the ashtray were still warm."

Gregory's expression darkened slightly. "Seems like there's someone else behind today’s incident."

"Someone else?"

"Yes." Gregory nodded. "Check immediately when those guys arrived in Vista Town and where they came from."

Lucius agreed, then added, "By the way, PL Group dropped the lawsuit. They even proposed that as long as we pay the appropriate patent and compensation fees, we can continue selling the chips."

Hearing this, Gregory was silent for a moment, a hint of sarcasm crossing his lips. "Isn’t that convenient?"
