Lost Me Gained Regret

Chapter 617



Across the ocean.

Lucius got a call, immediately went to report to Gregory.

Gregory was just about to dial Jane's number when he saw Lucius approaching, his brows furrowed slightly.

"You'd better have something important."

"It's important."

Lucius was sweating, "Mark Larson's old factory blew up."

Gregory raised an eyebrow, "Blew up?"

Lucius didn't dare to wipe his sweat, speaking truthfully, "They used plenty of explosives, now it's just rubble, and it even affected the surroundings. I need to head back and deal with it."

Gregory leaned back in his chair, a shadow passing through his eyes, he tapped on the desk twice.

"Even if it's rubble, make sure if he's actually dead."

"Yes."

Lucius quickly turned to leave, but just as he reached the door, he heard that always casual yet chilling voice from behind.

"Find out, and then, you know what to do."

Lucius didn't dare to argue. He had once sworn that Mark's place would be secure.

He was just abroad for a few days, took his eyes off for a moment, and disaster struck.

Thinking about heading to a godforsaken place, he felt indescribable bitterness.

"Yes, Gregory."

The door closed behind him.

Gregory got up and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, glancing at the blinding sun outside.

After a while, he opened his phone to send a message.

"Can't call today, got some stuff, go to sleep early, sweetheart."This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

His message hadn't even sent when the hotel room door was violently kicked open.

The news of the explosion in the outskirts was trending non-stop.

I scrolled through videos, nine out of ten were about it.

It was an abandoned chemical plant, left with plenty of potentially toxic products.

The explosion sent black smoke billowing, polluting the air for miles around.

Even though it was the outskirts, people lived there.

"Looks serious, if there was anyone inside, they definitely didn't make it."

My mom came over with some fruit, stuffing a piece of cantaloupe into my mouth, "Try to watch more uplifting stuff."

I nodded, "Okay, I know."

My mom, keeping her figure, just ate a cherry tomato, leaving me the rest of the fruit plate.

"Go to sleep after eating."

I looked up uncertainly, "Mom, am I gonna turn into a pig?"

Eating then sleeping, sleeping then eating.

Bella reassured me, "No, you're eating a

diet carefully put toget

by a nutritionist, you won't get fat, don't worry." Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org

I was relieved, pushing my mom towards her room, "Go get your beauty sleep, or you'll be puffy in the morning, and it won't look good on camera." Content belongs to

My mom was joining a filming crew, couldn't take care of me anymore, asked me to check when Gregory would be back.

If he couldn't make it, to have Christine come stay with me.

"Don't stay up too late either."

"Got it."

I checked the time, Gregory hadn't called me today.

Thinking he might still be busy, considering the time difference, it's night here but day there.

I sent him a message to ask first.

After finishing the fruit, still no reply.

My right eyelid kept twitching, couldn't settle down, so I called him.

No answer.

After a few more tries, still the same.

Feeling increasingly uneasy, I tried calling Lucius, but his phone was turned off.

Remembering he mentioned before

leaving for the trip, the people hedeft by my side had a special way to contact him, I immediately asked someone to come in. Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org

But they couldn't get in touch with Lucius either.

"Jane, don't worry, I'll look into it now."

"Okay, hurry."

After the bodyguard left, my heart was all over the place, unable to just wait, I decided to call Christine.

To see if she could check with Dailey Clarkson.
