Lost Me, Gained Regret (Jane and Bryant Ferguson) novel Chapter 612

That night, kidnapping Ramona was a risky business.

Josiah's original plan was to poison Victor that very night, seize the Myers family's fortune, and then take off with Pearl and Dorothy.

With Hanson Ford buying them some time, their escape would have been smooth.

But then he found out Ramona had gone senile, which seemed like a stroke of luck.

So, he let his guard down a bit.

That was the opening Gregory needed.

Josiah's resolve hardened, and he declared coldly, "I have no wife and children."

They were on the brink of crossing the border, just a boat ride away from freedom.

To Josiah, Gregory was just a big fish in the small pond of Vista Town.

Josiah waved his hand, commanding, "Set sail."

The ship moved away from the shore.

"Greg…"

Gregory's men panicked!

Letting them get away would mean it'd be near impossible to track them down once they left Vista Town.

But Gregory just watched coldly, making no move.

He'd arrived a step too late; the targets were already on the boat. Trying to forcibly take them now would only lead to mutual destruction.

It wasn't necessary.

If Josiah wanted to play games, he was up for a round.

His gaze darkened as he turned to Pearl, saying, "Victor listens to you so well he'd even kidnap his own mother for you. You could've had an easy life with him, but you chose to run with this desperado, who's now abandoned you and his own daughter."

Pearl glared at Gregory, shouting, "What do you know! He'll come back for me and my daughter!"

Gregory nodded, "Alright, let's see if you can wait that long."

"What are you going to do!"

Pearl was scared of Gregory but refused to beg.

She believed Josiah wouldn't really leave them behind.

"I'm telling you, if you do anything to me, you'll pay for it!"
