Chapter 355
“Susan,” Bryant’s brow furrowed just a bit, and he spoke with a chilly, distant voice, “There’s no need to explain the disengagement to me.”
After all, it had been part of his plan.
Whether truly confused or feigning ignorance, Susan protested, “But of course, I must explain everything to you. When you Dorothy was picking you up today, you made a point of coming over with Mr. Carlson. I understand…”
heard
York’s lips twitched in annoyance, interrupting, “Your confidence is admirable, but I must interject. Mr. Ferguson’s visit today has nothing to do with Ms. Myers. Not a dime.”
“How can it not be about Dorothy? If Mr. Ferguson’s visit to the Myers family isn’t for Dorothy, why…”
Susan stopped mid–sentence, realization dawning, her face darkening as she suddenly turned to look in my direction!
my wife.” Bryant glanced down to adjust his cuff, his voice cold, “Just so you know, Susan, I’m here today to win back
His tone wasn’t loud, but each word was loud and clear, making everyone around him hear it. His statement was like a slap across the faces of the Myers women.
Dorothy burst into tears as if she had faced the ultimate humiliation. She could only vent her anger on Susan, tugging at her arm. “Mom, why are you deluding yourself? Why put me through this embarrassment?”
“I didn’t hear you objecting when I first mentioned it…” Susan’s words trailed off as Dorothy, overcome with shame and anger, couldn’t stand it any longer and ran out, crying.
Susan had no choice but to follow and console her.
It was supposed to be the Myers family’s home turf, yet they ended up being the butt of the joke. Richard felt utterly humiliated, but fortunately, Ramona arrived with Lilliana, having likely been informed of the situation by the butler.
Ramona didn’t gloss over the incident but approached Bryant and beckoned me over, saying sternly, “Jane, when they bullied you, it was indeed the Myers family at fault. The current predicament of the Myers Group is also our own doing.”
I felt unexpectedly sympathetic, “Ramona…”
Ramona wasn’t close to Dorothy and Susan and was unaware of their actions, living far away in Vista Town. It wasn’t her place to apologize.
“My child, hear me out.” Ramona patted my hand, looking at Bryant gently, “Mr. Ferguson, Jane is a good girl. Though you’re in a position of power now, the men who adore her are also outstanding. Winning her back might not be as easy as you think.”
Bryant was cold to Dorothy and Susan but respected Ramona, “You’re right.”
He paused, his gaze intense as he looked at me, “This time, I won’t let her down.”
I pretended not to hear. Ramona only smiled, not saying much, and introduced Lilliana to everyone. For a moment, it was as if stars surrounded the moon.
I had achieved my main goal for the day, but it wasn’t the right time to leave with the main character just making her entrance. I wanted to find a corner to sit for a while, but someone was persistently following me.
Running out of patience, I turned sharply, looking directly into Bryant’s eyes, “Bryant, we’re divorced.”
“I was wondering what you were to say.” Bryant’s lips curved into a slight smile, “Being divorced doesn’t mean we can’t remarry. The town hall is still there, not going anywhere.”
