Lost Me Gained Regret Read Online Novel
Chapter 638

"Stop daydreaming." Mark leaned in, his voice a whisper of certainty, "Even if he makes it to this island, he can't take you away. I won't let you two meet, either."

After his words to me, he turned to Samuel, "Tell him whatever you need to keep him off our backs, doesn't matter if he's here or not. I'll figure out my own place to stay. And don't worry about food, I've got it covered. In a couple days, me and my crew will be out of here." Samuel, playing his cards close to his chest, only let out a terse, "Whatever."

My heart sank. No more time to stall.

...

When Gregory got to the shore, he scanned the area, counting heads.

"Release them."

Samuel hurried over, arms wide for a hug.

Gregory sidestepped, cutting straight to the chase, "Where's my love?"

Samuel's gaze clung to Gregory as if trying to read his mind.

Suppressing his anger, Gregory demanded again.

"Relax, they're fine. I've prepared a meal, let's eat first," Samuel offered.

A hint of something flashed in Gregory's eyes before he coldly nodded in agreement.

Samuel couldn't hide his glee. He had Gregory right where he wanted him.

Gregory tuned out Samuel's chatter as they walked, his gaze casually sweeping their surroundings. Passing a bush, something reflective caught his eye, but he kept quiet, only pointing to the right.

"Is that an undeveloped forest over there?"

Samuel was thrilled Gregory was initiating conversation.

"Well, it's not developed yet. If you've got plans, we'll build to suit."

Gregory gave the bush another quick glance before moving on.

Samuel followed eagerly, "I've brought in a chef from your country, cooked up all your favorites."

Gregory was unimpressed.

Basic information like that was no surprise to him.

"Sit," Samuel gestured to a chair as they entered the dining hall.

Gregory took the seat without a word.

Samuel sat beside him, eagerly serving him.

Their companions barely dared to watch.

Josiah was also on the island.

Gregory had taken what belonged to the Myers family, and Josiah had not forgotten.

Of course, he came looking to reclaim the Myers fortune.

Pearl had come too.

After escaping Gregory's clutches, Dorothy

Pearl wasn't just after the Myers fortune; she wanted Jane's life.

The pain she endured, she intended to repay a thousandfold.

If Jane died, Gregory would surely be devastated.

Once on the island, away from the

harsh seaside wind, I carelessly net

tossed aside my jacket.

Mark glanced at the jacket but pulled me into the forest.

He seemed unaware of my ulterior motives, but I stayed on guard.

After a while, the trees cleared, revealing a small cabin.

It looked freshly cleaned, spotless.

"Take a seat and rest, I'll get us something to eat."

Mark patted the bed. I hesitated, but he gently pushed me down.

He knelt, his gaze soft. "Sorry for the inconvenience, I promise to make it up to you. From now on, I won't let you suffer even the slightest. Jane, trust me, I'll make you happy, and

soon, you'll forget all about Gregory."
