Clutching at the shreds of her survival instinct, she managed to gasp out two words before slipping into unconsciousness: "Help me..."
...
At this moment, the Clarkson household seemed to be cloaked in a shroud of gloom, as if singled out by a persistent cloud of misfortune.
Elsewhere, the sky was a canvas of stars and moonlight, casting a beautiful glow.
But over the Clarkson home, darkness prevailed.
Nelly's video wasn't meant for Dailey's eyes only; such a move wouldn't serve her intended purpose.
After the Clarkson family viewed it, they immediately restrained Dailey.
His phone had vanished into someone else's possession.
Upon watching the video, Dailey's expression darkened like a storm cloud, ready to burst.
He fixed Nelly with a cold gaze, his words slicing through the tension, "I underestimated you, Nelly."
He hadn't noticed the disappearance of his phone yet.
Jayne seized the moment to power his phone down, catching a glimpse of Christine's call before doing so.
No wonder Nelly was confident this would drive a wedge between Dailey and Christine, avoiding triggering Dailey's rebellious side.
She had an ace up her sleeve all along.
This reminded Jayne of Dailey's words about how no matter how well he treated Nelly, it was futile. The resentment rooted in being sent abroad had created a rift between them that Nelly wouldn't easily forget.
Reflecting now, Jayne found those words eerily accurate.
It was a shame about Nelly's background; with such cunning, she would have been an invaluable ally to Dailey.
"You wanted proof?" Normand pointed towards a smartphone lying on the coffee table. "This video clearly shows you forcing Nelly, and the timeline matches. The child can only be yours."
Dailey's lips pressed into a thin, sharp line.
His icy gaze swept over the room, then he let out a laugh, colder than winter itself.
"So what if it's mine?"
He stood beneath the light, yet it couldn't dispel the shadows in his eyes.
"Terminate it."

The readers' comments on the novel: Lost Me, Gained Regret (Jane and Bryant Ferguson)
This story is useless now. there is no essence. Jane is a whore, at least Bryant never sleep around. There was a misunderstanding between him and his step sister but he never slept with anyone. Bryant should just find a good woman by his side. Jane and Gregory will have a baby. Jane found her biological mother. So what else to be expect in this story?...
Who is the ML ? Hope its Greg.. but I kinda feel pity for Bryant too now.....
