Lost Me, Gained Regret (Jane and Bryant Ferguson) novel Chapter 898

She asked, "You mentioned before about leaving no loose ends. Surely, you have a plan, right?"

Norman sighed at her words.

"That was before."

"Quentin could find a new partner in a heartbeat. Christine isn't the only one capable. Even if we quietly did something, Quentin wouldn't openly confront us."

"Quentin could, if I'm not mistaken, he owes Dailey a favor."

Jayne was taken aback, "When did that happen? How come I didn't know?"

Norman raised a hand to pat her shoulder. "Calm down for a moment."

"My memory's a bit hazy, not entirely sure."

"It seems Quentin's wife was filming wildlife in a remote area and ran into trouble with some unsavory characters. Dailey was training nearby and ran into her."

Jayne tried to recall Dailey's training schedule. "Back then, wasn't his wife still a student?"

"And she wasn't his wife at the time."

"But she is now."

Norman gently guided Jayne to sit on the edge of the bed. "And Quentin's genuinely invested now."

Jayne pounded the pillow in frustration, "What a mess."

"It's all your fault."

"If you hadn't insisted that Libby could keep Dailey away from Christine, I wouldn't have gone along with it. I should have—"

"Stop it," Norman interrupted. "It's pointless to say anything now."

Indeed.

Nothing could change the past.

Jayne could only hope their differences would separate them eventually.

Dailey draped his suit jacket over Christine's shoulders, casting a cold glance around.

Those who had been eyeing Christine awkwardly averted their gaze.

He had been a big help today, and Christine didn't continue to oppose him.

After Quentin finished socializing, he invited Dailey upstairs.
