Lost Me Gained Regret

Chapter 708



Born into a family of formidable expectations, Jack was an only child carrying a legacy on his shoulders. His path was one of relentless challenges and high standards.

From a young age, he knew exactly what he wanted, shaping him into someone composed yet distant.

Even his way of expressing emotions was measured and restrained.

But before any significant progress was made, his grandfather decided to send her abroad. The official reason was for her to broaden her horizons and learn. In reality, it was a scheme to separate her from Dailey.

When she returned and visited him in the hospital, his demeanor towards her remained unchanged. Though reserved, there was a familiar gentleness.

She figured that even his grandfather's interference couldn't shake their bond.

Back then, he was too young to steer his life, but now, as he was about to take over the reins of the Clarkson estate, nothing could stand in their way.

Even knowing that someone named Christine had been close to him, sparking rumors of a fling, she was confident. In her heart, Dailey only had room for her.

But witnessing a certain scene now sparked a deep sense of alarm.

Could it be... Dailey had actually fallen for Christine?

No, it was probably bordering on love.

She couldn't just maintain her usual gentle approach, slowly making her way into Dailey's heart.

She had to find a way to halt the progression of their relationship.

"Your ride back is arranged," Dailey said, dropping the words coldly before he got into his car.

As the vehicle sped off, the bodyguard let go of Merritt, gesturing for her to get into her car.

Yet, Merritt stopped her, her voice always soft and gentle, making it impossible to get angry with her.

"I can see Christine is fond of Dai. I

want Dai to be happy. So, let me give you a piece of advice - give up sooner rather than later. If you keep this up, the Clarkson family won't take it lightly. You can't compete with them."

Despite her young age, Merritt wasn't a sheltered flower.

Dailey was too involved to see things clearly, but as an outsider, Merritt saw everything.

"You wish for Dai's happiness?"

Merritt scoffed. "Have you c

Limited by the presence of Dailey's bodyguard, Nelly couldn't say much more.

With a plan forming in her mind and believing Merritt would agree to it, she said, "I'm being sincere. It's hard to get a cab here, and it's far from downtown. Let me give you @ride."

Merritt almost refused, but eventually, she got into the car without a word.

The bodyguards, familiar with Nelly's kindness, didn't object.

Upon reaching downtown, Merritt headed straight for a café across the street.

Nelly, dropped off at her place by the bodyguard, drank some water, then hailed a cab to where Merritt had gotten off.

Through the café's glass, their eyes met.

Nelly chose a more secluded place and had someone pass a note to Merritt.

After waiting half an hour, Merritt arrived at the address on the note - an escape room business, with a theme of horror. Inside, they dodged the cameras, pretending to search for clues while whispering.

Merritt scoffed at Nelly's plan, "You think Dailey's a fool?"

"And if you were capable, you'd stop them yourself. Who knows what might happen between those two right now?"

Nelly smiled, "But you still came to see what I had in mind, didn't you?"

Silence fell for a moment before Merritt admitted, "I thought you had a brilliant plan. I don't want them together."
