There was nothing else, nothing at all. And all of this had to do with Jane, and Jane alone. Apart from her, Gregory had no reason to stir up any trouble elsewhere.

But Alaric, a man who was always proud of his ability to juggle multiple relationships, couldn't believe that Gregory would make such a bold move just for Jane! All those times Alaric spoke to Jane, he was trying to persuade her to patch things up with Bryant. Sure, he did it behind Bryant's back, but to the public eye, he was acting under Bryant's influence. Wouldn't Gregory fear offending Bryant by making such a grand gesture?

Lucius just gave him this blank look. "Mr. Ford instructed me to tell you, if you bother his people again, it won't be as simple as just breaking a leg."

With that, Lucius turned to leave.

Alaric, shocked to his core, quickly asked, "May I ask... what's the relationship between Ms. Webster and your boss, Mr. Ford?"

He had to understand the extent to which he had offended Gregory today. If it was just a matter of defending a lover, then laying low for a while would suffice, and the matter would be forgotten. But if... Lucius turned back, "The kind where marriage is the only option."

Alaric was stunned for a moment, but his mind quickly caught up, stuttering, "But... wasn't there a rumor that Mr. Ford has been looking for Ms. Myers for over twenty years... and now he's going to marry Ms. Webster?"

Lucius replied calmly, "Ms. Webster is Ms. Myers."

Alaric felt like he'd been punched by a shock! How could he have imagined that Jane would be so fortunate? He kept replaying what he had said to her in the underground parking lot!

"Do you really think you're all that?"

"Just another pretty face, huh."

"Acting all high and mighty in front of me?"

"Thinking you could actually become part of the Ford family?"

"I can't wait to see you crash and burn!"

The more he thought about it, the more Alaric wished he could bash his own head in. He had failed to curry favor with Bryant and now had gone and offended Gregory to boot Considering the rumors about how Gregory valued his fiancée and his ruthless methods, Alaric even doubted if Jane had relayed his words exactly as he had said them. Otherwise, he might have ended up with more than just a broken leg. The only way out of this mess was to grovel before Jane.

Bella was watching a movie with Summer Taylor and had just finished when she saw Ivy waiting for them. vy had texted her before coming Bella gave her a glance and then turned to Summer, "Summer, mom needs to discuss something with Ivy. You're going on a show tomorrow, have your bird's nest soup and get some rest early, no staying up late."

"Okay."

Summer obediently went to the kitchen, took out the bird's nest soup prepared by the maid, and sat at the dining table, happily sipping away. Thinking about her debut in the entertainment industry the next day made her thrilled.

Bella, reassured, went upstairs to

her study. Ivy followed, shutting the door behind her, and got straight to the point, handing Bella a folder, "The investigation you requested was tampered with, and it took quite an effort to replace the truth."

"Jane's original name is Lilliana Myers. There indeed was a conflict between her and Summer two years ago," Ivy said.

As Bella took the folder, she asked, "What kind of conflict?"

"Summer once impersonated Lilliana."

Bella's face turned pale. "What??"

"The evidence is all in there. Take a look."

Ivy pointed at the document, adding, "What's more surprising is that the hospital where Jane was born is also the Vista Town General Hospital."
