Lost Me, Gained Regret (Jane and Bryant Ferguson) novel Chapter 757

Jane ladled some soup into a bowl for Christine with a sigh, "When have I ever lied to you? It's exactly as he said. Are you satisfied now?"

She scrutinized Christine's expression, then smoothly changed the subject, "Looks like you're really into this, huh?"

Christine gently raised an eyebrow, "Just getting started. Haven't thought that far ahead, just wanted to have a clear picture in my mind."

Having that clarity helps one know when to dive deep and when to stay alert.

She chuckled, "For now, let's focus on uncovering the truth behind the hotel incident."

Though the surveillance footage hadn't yielded results yet, Gregory had pieced together most of the puzzle.

A little pressure, and Merritt would have to spill the beans.

But the real question was whether Dailey would play dirty with Nelly.

Their conspiracies had to align perfectly.

And the drowning incident wasn't hard to figure out.

Yet, Dailey seemed only interested in sending Nelly abroad, without mentioning any foul play.

Gregory couldn't comment just yet, but he shot Jane a knowing look.

Jane got the hint, "Don't stress over it too much. Just take it easy for now. You need to rest more."

She remembered Mr. Abdul's advice, "Don't worry about the company for a while. Mira's grown up a bit, and with my mom helping, I can manage."

Christine waved her off, "It's not that bad. A little drowning isn't going to stop me from working. You, on the other hand, should not always rely on Bella to babysit. How's she supposed to date Mr. Shaw?"

Jane pondered for a moment, "Fair point. Let's split the workload. We'll handle it together."

"Deal."

...

At the Clarkson residence.

When Dailey walked in, the living room was packed.

Even his father, who was usually too busy to be seen, was present.

His grandfather sat in the place of honor, his demeanor unchanging despite his advancing years. His authority might have softened, but it was still intimidating.
