Chapter 387 I was about to refuse, but after hearing his words, I accepted, joking, “So, there was a time when you treated money like dirt?” I sneered inwardly, ‘Now, you won’t wake up early if there wasn’t a profit in it, but back in the day, you’d hand out a house just like that.’ … Read More “Lost Me Gained Regret ( Bryant Ferguson ) Novel CHAPTER 387” »

Lost Me Gained Regret
Three years into our marriage, I felt pretty settled and content. My husband, Bryant, was an attractive, affluent man who was kind, considerate, and always steady. We had never had a screaming match or even a heated argument.
Yet one day, I saw my always composed husband corner another woman against a wall, his voice filled with rage as he questioned, “You chose to marry someone else. What gives you the right to demand anything from me now?”
This moment showed a side I had never seen; when Bryant loved passionately, it was indeed fiery and intense. In light of the circumstances, I made the decision to bow out gracefully – I divorced Bryant and disappeared, wiping my existence from his life.
Chapter 386 I paused, turning to him with a huff. “Did I ever say I’d marry you?” “Everything else, I can go by your word.” Gregory’s lips curled into a slight smirk, “But this, this is where I call the shots.” I rolled my eyes at him. “What, you’re going to tie me up if … Read More “Lost Me Gained Regret ( Bryant Ferguson ) Novel CHAPTER 386” »
Chapter 385 “Wait a sec.” I interjected with a light voice, smiling, “My dad? Who’s my dad?” That day, the ones who fervently denied me were them, too. But Susan could twist and turn with the situation. She chuckled awkwardly, “Oh, darling, are you still holding a grudge? We’re all family here. We couldn’t wrap … Read More “Lost Me Gained Regret ( Bryant Ferguson ) Novel CHAPTER 385” »
Chapter 384 It felt like a slap across my face. I should’ve never trusted Bryant. Orl shouldn’t have even bothered coming here in the first place. As I turned to leave, Kevin glimpsed the photos in my hand and started making excuses for Bryant, “Mrs. Ferguson, please don’t misunderstand. Mr. Ferguson went to see her … Read More “Lost Me Gained Regret ( Bryant Ferguson ) Novel CHAPTER 384” »
Chapter 383 “Just, I’m a bit confused,” I said. “Mark, is there something you’re trying to say?” “Nothing.” “Oh, okay then.” I chuckled and glanced at my watch, “Looks like it’s about time for me to head over to Vista Town.” “You…” He hesitated for a moment. “Is there still a chance for you and Bryant?” “Mark.” laughed, somewhat helplessly, “I’m really not in the mood to think about this right now. If you’re trying to play matchmaker for him, please don’t.” “I’m not here to patch things up for him.” He seemed to be gauging my reaction, hesitating before he spoke, “It’s… there’s something I’m not sure if I should tell you.” “What is it?” “It’s about the Myers family’s fake heiress. I heard it from Molly.” Mark carefully said, “Have you ever wondered why she could replace you, who’s pulling the strings behind her?” “It must be Dorothy and her gang, right?” Maybe there were others involved, but I had no leads at the moment. It was clear this scheme was targeted at me. Ordinary folks wouldn’t dare meddle in the Myers family’s affairs. But among those with power and influence, besides them, I couldn’t think of anyone else I might have offended. 3 = 20 ÷ > I With this thought, I suddenly turned to Mark, “Do you know something?” He avoided my gaze, “Never mind, it’s just a guess.” The more he said that, the more I felt there was something he wasn’t telling me. I pressed on, “What guess?” 1/3 17-41 Mark seemed troubled and after a long pause, he said, “You… you have to promise me, you’ll handle this calmly, don’t act rashly. It’s very likely I’m wrong, just a misunderstanding.” T# try my best.” “Take a look at this.” He handed me two photos, saying, “I stumbled upon this a couple of days ago, heard them talking about ‘a union with Gregory, and I couldn’t figure out how Bryant would know her, until Molly told me she took your place… Taking a look, I immediately grasped Mark’s implication. Both photos were of Bryant and the fake Lilliana at a coffee shop. Idenched the photos, saying, “Thanks, Mark…” Jane & might not even be like this.” Mark worried I’d act impulsively, was still trying to explain for Bryant, “And even if Bryant did it, he probably did it out of fear of losing you. Don’t be too med “Stop making excuses for him.” I pursed my lips, “I’ll confront him and ask for clarity.” Although angry, I felt this was out of character for Bryant. Mark asked, “What if it was him, what will you do?” There’s nothing to do.” I was eerily calm, “We’ll just be strangers from now on.” Mark looked shocked, quickly masking his surprise at my coldness, “What if it was me, would we become strangers too?” … Read More “Lost Me Gained Regret ( Bryant Ferguson ) Novel CHAPTER 383” »
Chapter 382 Bryant, always so sophisticated, went to such lengths for me. What did I do to deserve this? Yet, our journey to this point wasn’t something that changed overnight. And it certainly has nothing to do with what he’s wearing. Even if he looked exactly like Gregory, he’d still be Bryant, unchanged. “I just realized, dressing casually is quite comfortable too.” Outside, even in casual wear, Bryant’s nobility wasn’t diminished. He said this while lifting his gaze towards the luggage in the living room, his previously gentle expression darkening. “You’re heading to Vista Town?” “Yes.” “To see Gregory?” “Yes.” My response was crisp, without a hint of hesitation. Whatever he inferred from my visit to Gregory, I had no intention of clarifying. If it helped him let go of his obsessions, it would be a fortunate misunderstanding. Unexpectedly, a shadow of anger crossed Bryant’s eyes, but he managed to keep his patience. “Vista Town is a mess right now. Going there won’t help. Give me some time; I’ll handle the situation with Dorothy and her daughter.” “And then?” I asked. “Come back and be your true self, Mrs. Ferguson,” he said. I was somewhat at a loss for words. “Bryant, why are you acting like a middle schooler, failing to grasp the concept of divorce?” Divorce, to me, meant that from now on, we were nothing to each other. No more intrusions. He looked at me unwaveringly, “I know you’re upset about how I dealt with Dorothy’s situation.” – “You want to vent, to have some peace, I get it. But there’s one thing you thinking of leaving me, that’s not happening.” 1/2 17.41 Chapter 382 “I promise, I’ll consult with you on everything from now on.” I felt like laughing but couldn’t. In his view, it seemed he still believed I was just angry and throwing a fit. A little coaxing, a little embrace, and I would return to his side, becoming the quiet and understanding Mrs. Ferguson, just like countless times before. Seeing my silence, he pressed his lips together, his voice deep and warm, “Jane, you’ve loved me for so many years. Those feelings can’t just disappear. It’s not too late to start over.” “…Yes.” I took a deep breath. “I’ve loved you for many years, since I was eighteen.” “Loved you enough to marry you unilaterally, to take care of your family, to remain a shadowy Mrs. Ferguson.” “Loved you enough to carry your child, willing to have a child that belonged to us.” “But, Bryant,” I said, my gaze steady on him, each word deliberate, “That was the Jane of the past. The Jane now wants to sever all ties cleanly.” His Adam’s apple bobbed as he struggled … Read More “Lost Me Gained Regret ( Bryant Ferguson ) Novel CHAPTER 382” »
Chapter 381 “I understand… I really do. How could I possibly blame you?” I poured a glass of warm water, carefully slid a straw into it, and offered it to Cheryl, “Here, have some water.” As dusk settled and Cheryl drifted into sleep, Bryant and I finally made our way out. We planned to head home for a quick shower before coming back to keep vigil. The doctor had warned us… Cheryl could pass away at any moment. On the way, I checked Cheryl’s medical bills at the hospital. Bryant had transferred a hefty sum, running into millions. It was all spent on trying various new drugs and treatment options developed abroad, including two surgeries performed by top international specialists. Not just expensive, but it required connections too. Without these, Cheryl probably wouldn’t have made it to Christmas. Yet, Bryant never mentioned any of this to me. Sitting in the backseat, I turned to look at him, “Bryant, thank you for everything you’ve done for Cheryl. About the money… I’ll transfer it to you now.” The proceeds from the sale of the house had been deposited, enough to cover the expenses. His eyes fixed on me, “We don’t need to settle accounts between us like this.” “But we should.” After all, we were divorced. I had no right to keep spending his money. Bryant sighed, “Are you just trying to put more distance between us now?” “Yes.” I was about to open my banking app when my phone rang. It was Gregory’s call. Bryant glanced at the caller ID, a touch of anger in his eyes, “He’s calling already, just after an afternoon apart?” 1/3 Chapter 881 “Bryant, I’m grateful for what you’ve done for Cheryl, but that doesn’t give you the right to interfere in my personal life!” I spoke firmly, “Don’t make me remind you again, we’re divorced.” He snatched the phone away, ended the call, and leaned over, pinning me against the leather seat, his voice cold, “If you insist on bringing up the divorce, then I won’t hesitate to tell you…” Another urgent ring interrupted him. This time, it was the hospital. He didn’t stop me this time. My heart sank as I answered, only to hear, “Mrs. Ferguson, Ms. Webster… has passed away.” My mind went blank. Despite being mentally prepared, it felt too sudden. Like being hit squarely by a punch. I was stunned, struggling to process the news. Even after unraveling the truth about our relationship, discovering Cheryl and I had no blood relation, and learning who my real family was, I couldn’t easily shift my feelings. In my heart, Cheryl remained my only family. Bryant took the phone from my hand, responded to the nurse, and then instructed the driver, “Turn back to the hospital.” With Bryant and Christine’s help, we managed to take care of all the arrangements for Cheryl. The last time I was at the funeral home was for Grandpa. This time, it was for Cheryl. In just six months, it felt like I was constantly losing. Losing over and over again. Thankfully, there was enough to keep me busy. Janedream had just restarted after the holidays, and we were slammed with work. Worried about distracting Gregory, I hadn’t told him about Cheryl’s passing, focusing instead on wrapping things up so I could return to Vista Town. A spring collection launched right before the holidays sold out immediately after a popular influencer wore it on a reality show, boosting sales across the board. Janedream was on a roll. The night before my return to Vista Town, I was packing when someone knocked on the door. Opening it to see a man in a loose hoodie and casual pants, I instinctively thought it was Gregory, “How did you…” But then I looked up, meeting Bryant’s sharply defined features. I clutched the 2/3 17-40 Chapter 381 doorknob tighter, a mix of emotions swirling within, “Bryant, you didn’t have to do this.”
Chapter 380 Cheryl’s demeanor stiffened, “Who told you that?” “Auntie, please don’t hide it from me.” I pressed my lips together, “I had to be sure before I came to you. I already know that I belong to the Myers family of Vista Town.” “Myers? Your biological father is a Myers?” Cheryl became visibly tense. Despite her frail voice, she bombarded me with questions, driven by her emotions, “Did they come for you? What happened? Have they treated you poorly?” Her reaction confirmed my suspicions. Cheryl knew something about the past. I pressed on, “How did I end up with the Websters in the first place?” “Back then…” Cheryl pondered for a moment, then looked at me with pity, *Your parents lost their beloved daughter, and the doctor said your mother couldn’t have any more children. Later, they went to Vista Town for business and, by a strange twist of fate, ended up bringing you back.” *And then? The Myers family has been saying I was kidnapped all these years. Was I really kidnapped?” *Indeed, you were.” Her tone grew grave, “At the time, your parents were entertaining in Vista Town. Your dad went to the car to fetch some wine and found you sneaking into the vehicle, pleading for help… You were covered in bruises, and knowing your dad’s kind heart, he couldn’t just leave you there.” “He decided to rescue you right then and there. But people were searching for you everywhere, so he had to lock you in the car. He acted as if nothing happened and returned to the restaurant.” “You were smart, staying quiet and hidden under the backseat with a blanket over you, avoiding detection.” “Those men even searched the restaurant later. Your parents overheard them mentioning a name… Susan…” 1/3 17:40 “Susan?” My heart tightened. Even the ‘kidnapping‘ and ‘loss‘ were orchestrated by Mrs. Myers… my mother? “Yes, but for years… we thought the Myers were your biological parents‘ enemies.” Cheryl nodded, “Those people were cautious, not revealing much before they continued their search elsewhere. Fearing for your safety, your parents took you back to River City that very night to heal. Initially, they planned to send you to an orphanage, but they couldn’t bear to let you go. Fearing those people would trace you, they erased all records of ‘Jane’s‘ death, moved houses, and had you assume her identity.” “So that’s what happened…” My thoughts were a jumble as I fingered the pendant, “And this pendant… was it on me at that time?” “Yes.” Cheryl looked puzzled, “Your dad did some digging. In all of Vista Town, there’s only one Myers family, but among so many Myers, none bore the surname Taylor.” “Taylor? What does that have to do with anything?” “Your pendant…” She looked at me, replying, “There’s an inscription on the bottom, a ‘Taylor‘. Your dad found it by accident and needed a magnifying glass to see it clearly.” “Taylor?” I immediately looked down, touching the bottom of the pendant. There was indeed a subtle indentation, but it wasn’t obvious. I had thought this was a Myers family heirloom… but it seems I was wrong. Doubts swirled in my mind. Cheryl sighed, “Beyond that, I don’t know.” 2/3 17:40 I calmed my emotions, saying, “Auntie, thank you for telling me all this.” This only deepened my suspicions. Susan… was likely not my biological mother after all. … Read More “Lost Me Gained Regret ( Bryant Ferguson ) Novel CHAPTER 380” »
Chapter 379 I was momentarily stunned. “What?” He shook his head gently, his voice soft. “Nothing.” But the resolve in his eyes ran deep. When we arrived at the Blessed Care Medical Facility, the medical staff had just emerged from the emergency room. The director approached us, shaking his head in resignation. “Mr. Ferguson, Mrs. Ferguson, we did everything we could, but the illness progressed too rapidly. There was nothing more the doctors could do.” I needed confirmation, “So, it was just the illness getting worse?” The director nodded. “Yes.” My heart sank, tears welling up in my eyes. “Isn’t there anything else that can be done? Any method, no matter the cost…” Even though I found out I was a Myers and not really related to my aunt by blood, she was still the one who was always there for me. The director sighed. “All possible methods have already been attempted. Mr. Ferguson has taken care of the medical expenses thus far.” “Thank you for everything…” I said, my gaze inadvertently drifting towards Bryant. “And… thank you.” I had noticed there was still money in my aunt Cheryl’s medical account and the hospital hadn’t prompted for payment, so I assumed it was sufficient. Little did I know, Bryant was the one covering the costs. Bryant spoke softly, “Let’s go see your aunt now.” “Yeah!” Right then, the nurse wheeled my aunt out of the emergency room. Back in her room, it wasn’t long before Cheryl woke up. 17:40 @ Seeing me, a smile spread across her pale face, “Jane, you’re here…” I felt guilty; I had been so caught up in my own affairs that I had neglected her. “Auntie, you were in such poor health, why did you lie to me over the phone during the holidays, saying you were fine?” “I didn’t want to worry you over the holidays.” She patted my hand, “Besides, I’ve lived a full life. Whether I live or die, I’m at peace.” I turned away, tears falling, and quickly wiped them off. “What about Leroy Brown? Why isn’t he here?” “Well…” Cheryl gave a bitter smile, “It’s been a long time since he visited. If it weren’t for you and Bryant, I might have already passed away.” “Auntie…” Seeing her weak state, I stood up. “I’ll call him, make him come.” Cheryl stopped me, a look of utter disappointment on her face. “Jane, let it be. I’ve come to terms with not having him in my life. The bonds between parents and children can be fickle, and if it’s time to let go, then so be it.” I held her hand, “It’s okay, you still have me.” “Yes, thankfully I have you.” Cheryl sighed, glancing at Bryant standing behind me, advising, “Silly girl, I can tell Bryant cares a lot about you. Cherish the people in your life so you don’t end up alone on a hospital bed like me.” “Don’t worry.” Bryant, who had been silent, suddenly spoke up with conviction, “No matter what happens, I will take care of Jane.” I didn’t want to upset Cheryl any further, so I didn’t argue or respond. … Read More “Lost Me Gained Regret ( Bryant Ferguson ) Novel CHAPTER 379” »
Chapter 378 “I’ll be right down.” Upon hearing that, my heart skipped a beat, and I agreed quickly. Seeing my troubled expression, Christine asked, “What happened on his end?* I was hastily packing my things as I replied, “My aunt’s critically ill. I need to rush back to RiverCity.” Thinking about Dorothy’s tactics, I even started to doubt whether it was the illness that worsened or it was because of my getting involved. “Critically ill?” Christine decided on the spot. “Bryant’s coming to pick you up, right? Stop packing. Just leave it to me. I’ll wrap things up here this afternoon. You go back first, and when I return, I’ll bring your stuff with me.” In my desperation, I didn’t hesitate. “Okay, Chris, I owe you one.* Christine handed me my power bank and phone, pushing me out the door. “Don’t mention it. It is part of my job as the Head of the Marketing Department. Besides, I’m a shareholder. I’m essentially helping myself.” I had brought Christine into the partnership, giving her a share of the business. I nodded. “Then I’m off!” While I was going downstairs, Bryant’s car gracefully pulled up to the curb. The driver came out to open the door for me. As Isettled into the backseat, I saw him resting with his eyes closed. I was more than happy to keep to myself, turning to look out the window. The silence in the car was eerie. As my thoughts began to drift, Bryant’s voice broke the silence. “Stay out of the mess in Vista Town.” “You can’t tell me what to do.” I didn’t even turn my head, my tone frosty. Annoyed, Bryant continued, “You think just because of a paternity test, you can be with Gregory and become part of the Ford family?” *How do you know about it?” I spun around, facing him with surprise and 1/3 suspicion in my eyes. That had only happened this morning, and very few people knew about it. Gregory wouldn’t talk, and the Myers family, more than anyone, would want it buried, fearing I might return to their family. Bryant looked at me, his lips barely moving. “I also know that you and he stand no chance.” I clenched my fists, withdrawing my gaze. “I stand even less of a chance with you.” “Jane…” He suddenly softened his tone. “We’ve had our moments in the past three years, haven’t we?” “If you say so.” I looked down with a faint smile. I didn’t feel like arguing if Bryant saw my unrequited feelings and his lukewarm gestures as our special moments. For the first time, I realized how exhausting it could be when to argue after completely giving up on someone. Bryant gave a cold laugh. “Gregory’s that good, huh?” Without hesitation, I answered, “Yes.” I hadn’t spent much time thinking about my future with Gregory over the past few days. My focus had been on unraveling my past. But no matter what the future might hold for us, he was good to me. He protected and respected me more than anyone else. If I had to describe it, in Bryant’s eyes, I was once a weed, neglected and exposed to the storms. Later, he treated me like a rose in a greenhouse, seemingly doing everything for my sake but utterly disregarding my wishes and thoughts. But with Gregory, I was a sunflower. He thoughtfully considered my needs, respected my desires, analyzed the pros and cons, and allowed me to grow toward the sun with all my might. That was what I always wanted to be, not a weed or a rose. Upon hearing my straightforward and definite answer, Bryant’s gaze dimmed a bit. His lips formed a straight line, and after a moment of silence, he spoke 213 17:39 Chapter 378 softly, “If I became like him, would we stand a chance?”
