Lost Me, Gained Regret (Jane and Bryant Ferguson) novel Chapter 710

"Fine."

Christine had tried reasoning, but it seemed threats were the next step for him.

Fuming, grinding her teeth, she spat out, "There won't be any trouble between them. My brother Greg will always have Jane's back. Just one word about your shady moves to Jane, and Greg will make sure you won't be able to pull anything off."

Dailey just smirked, "I've been quite bored lately anyway. Let's see Greg and your BFF cut their honeymoon short to spar with me. It's time they focused on something more productive."

Christine felt defeated.

Not by Dailey, but by the thought of Greg getting involved.

If Dailey actually went head-to-head with Greg in some kind of business showdown, the whole of Vista Town would be in chaos.

And Jane would definitely be worried sick.

They had just gotten married. If their happiness was ruined because of her, she'd never forgive herself.

But she put on a brave face, "You really are Greg's best pal."

Dailey, unfazed, tidied up her disheveled hair, saying, "Can we talk now?"

"If not, I can have Greg come over for that match right now."

Christine took a deep breath, realizing her anger was still blazing, then took another.

Only when she had calmed down did she manage to squeeze out, "We can talk."

Dailey let her go and stood up, grabbing a bottle from the fridge for her.

He even twisted off the cap.

Christine wasn't impressed. She was no little girl to be swayed by such a gesture. She could open her own bottles!

After a few sips, her anger finally subsided a bit.

Leaning into the corner of the sofa, she looked at him sideways, "Let's hear it."

Dailey apologized again.

He felt like he had used up a lifetime’s worth of apologies in one day.

But it was clear she wasn’t buying it.
