Lost Me, Gained Regret (Jane and Bryant Ferguson) novel Chapter 781

Jane was puzzled, "What does that mean?"

Gregory leaned in and whispered an explanation.

Immediately, Jane grabbed her phone and started to scrutinize it closely.

Due to the ambiguous noise earlier, she hadn't been able to pay full attention.

Now, with the sound off and after Gregory's hint, she realized what was wrong.

"Does this mean that Nelly has the surveillance footage of Christine and Dailey's memory gap?"

Gregory nodded, "Ninety-five percent sure."

Jane understood the remaining five percent. Given Nelly's cunning, capable of ensnaring someone as sharp as Dailey in her web, she must have kept something very convincing up her sleeve.

But even the best-laid plans can have their slip-ups.

Thus Gregory's ninety-five percent certainty, rather than a full guarantee.

"You need to tell Dailey."

Gregory was calm, "He's without his phone, how should I reach him? And if I do, what if the Clarksons catch wind of it?"

Jane arched an eyebrow, "You're right, but I know you'll find a way."

A light sparkled in Gregory's eyes as he chuckled, "Alright, I'll have Lucius drop off some food for you and your sister. I'm heading over to the Clarksons."

Jane looked worried, "You just got Dailey out of the Clarkson estate, are you sure you can get back in?"

Gregory had his ways. He patted Jane's head, "Don't worry."

Jane walked him to the elevator. Just as the doors were about to close, Gregory suddenly blocked them.

Jane flinched.

Typical of brothers, both Dailey and Gregory had a knack for stopping elevator doors.

"Aren't you too old for these dangerous stunts?"

Gregory didn't argue, merely stating, "Keep your distance from Merritt. Speak up; at his age, he's not hard of hearing. No need to get too close."

Jealous much?

"Jane, I’ll come right after I’m done to relieve you."

Jane was more interested in whether he was about to confess about that night.

But she couldn't press him. After all, desperate times could lead to desperate measures.

"Do your thing. I've got Chris; it's easier for me as a woman."

The implication was clear; he had no business being too close to Christine. Despite saving her, Christine and Dailey were still together, and he needed to maintain a respectful distance.

Merritt hesitated, his phone incessantly ringing, forcing him to leave.

He decided to wait for a more appropriate moment to come clean about that night.

"Jane, wait for me."

Jane said nothing more, watching him go.

Soon after, Lucius arrived.

Not only did he bring food, but he also brought a video call from Gregory.
