Lost Me, Gained Regret (Jane and Bryant Ferguson) novel Chapter 736

Merritt, despite the tension, remained unbothered, though the sadness in her eyes was unmistakable. "Whoever Sis picks, I'll support her. As long as she's happy, I'm willing to do anything. But Mr. Clarkson, your childhood sweetheart just came out of your room. Shouldn't you be taking some responsibility for her?"

"Is now really the time for you to be marking your territory?"

Dailey couldn't stand Merritt's attempt to play the sympathy card, acting like she was all heart and soul.

He wasn't about to take criticism from someone who was all talk and no action.

But before he could respond, Merritt added, "Well, with Mr. Clarkson's background, wanting his cake and eating it too, who would dare say anything?"

"Rich and powerful, they all have a few lovers on the side."

It felt like stepping into a fridge, though they were just in an elevator.

Christine had to intervene, "Let's drop it, I've got a headache, I need some peace."

Dailey hadn't even said a word, but Merritt immediately fell silent.

As the elevator doors opened, Christine and Dailey stepped out first, followed by Merritt.

Reaching the lobby, Christine didn't see the night shift receptionist who had given her the key card. She asked, "When do shifts change?"

The unfamiliar receptionist replied, "Shift changes at 8 AM, who are you looking for?"

Christine said, "The girl from last night, the one with a mole on her neck. I need her contact info."

The receptionist, aware of the importance of these top-floor guests from the manager's briefing, immediately handed over the phone number to Christine.
