Lost Me, Gained Regret (Jane and Bryant Ferguson) novel Chapter 623

On the rooftop of a high-end downtown hotel, a helicopter touched down gracefully. A team of men in slick black suits disembarked in a disciplined manner, followed by Josiah. The last to emerge was a man with sun-kissed curls and piercing blue eyes, his skin pallid as though untouched by sunlight, yet his lips were a stark, captivating red, adding an almost bewitching allure to his appearance. Dressed in an impeccable white suit, he exuded an air of elegance that was hard to ignore.

"Boss Samuel, I must remind you again, Gregory is no easy target," one of the men cautioned.

Samuel's response was a smile, his charm almost devilish, "I'm only getting more intrigued by him."

…

Gregory, who'd come from Dailey, was sprawled on the couch with his legs crossed, a sly grin on his lips as he texted someone.

"I did some digging before we got here. The local mob doesn't exactly have a reputation for loyalty. Don't get too comfortable," Dailey warned.

Gregory, unfazed, didn't even bother to look up. "You'll handle it. I need to head back early."

"To celebrate Thanksgiving with Jane."

Dailey let out a sigh, his advice seemingly falling on deaf ears again.

"Gregory."

Lucius approached, "They've arrived."

Josiah and Samuel were right behind him.

At that moment, Gregory put away his phone, his demeanor shifting instantly from warm to ice-cold.

If the situation hadn't been so tense, Dailey might have applauded Gregory's swift change from genial to glacial.

Gregory's gaze shifted to Josiah, his tone nonchalant, "I might have underestimated you."

Josiah, no longer the timid figure he was in Gregory's presence, issued a veiled threat, "Mr. Ford, it's always wise to leave some room for maneuver. Otherwise, it's a path of mutual destruction."

Gregory's reply was a cold scoff, "I should have fed you to the sharks instead of sparing you, so you wouldn’t be here threatening me now."

Josiah countered, "Had you not pushed me, we wouldn't be here. Your ruthless methods have made you many enemies, inviting retaliation."

Gregory remained unfazed, "The person is yours, but the Myers family's fortune needs to be handed over."

"I see you've grown close to the Norman family; you surely don't need that money now."

Despite their decline, the Myers were still a notable family in Vista Town, their wealth, though not as vast as some, was considerable.
