Lost Me Gained Regret

Chapter 321
“Could be worse.” I grabbed a towel to dry my hair. Once my body warmed up, I turned to Gregory. “Something going down on
the internet?*
He shot back. “You did it?”
“What?” I was puzzled and bounced the question back to him.
He looked at me for a while and raised an eyebrow. “Guess I gave you too much credit.”
After saying that, he pulled his phone from his pocket and handed it over. “See for yourself.”
Lasked, “Password?”
“Your birthday.” he replied.
I paused, taken aback.
He smirked slightly, saying, “Daydreaming much? You share a birthday with her.”
I sighed. “Right. You could’ve mentioned that earlier.”
It must’ve been the cold, so I didn’t catch that immediately.
After unlocking the phone, I quickly found the issue Susan was talking about. Dorothy was outed as a homewrecker, using dirty
tricks to force the wife into a divorce and even kidnapped the wife. There were videos released from River Villa’s underground
parking lot, showing her people kidnapping me, footage that the Myers family had tried to erase.
The public backlash against her was fierce. But Bryant wasn’t spared, either.
[Jeez... turns out being born into the right family does let you get away with murder.]
[The Myers heiress, top homewrecker of the century, wow! Taking ‘power tripping‘ to a whole new level!]
[So, they announced their engagement while the wife hadn’t even signed the divorce papers. That was just brutal.]
[Bryant’s image is shattered for me. Wasn’t he supposed to be this doting husband? How is this any different from cheating?]

[Yeah. I thought Bryant and his wife had an amicable separation but didn’t expect such a mess.]
[Wait, have you considered that maybe Bryant didn’t want any of this? I have a friend who’s slightly connected to their circle, and
I heard that during the kidnapping, Dorothy had herself kidnapped, too, forcing Bryant to choose. That’s threatening him with his
wife’s life, right?]
[Who knows for sure, but what we’re seeing here is one cheater and one homewrecker!]
[I don’t buy that narrative. The rich’s life is not something we can understand. There might be more to the story. The Myers family
has been prominent for centuries, and with Timothy’s recent passing stirring up the scandal, Bryant’s got his hands full. Probably,
he has to tread carefully on a lot of matters.]
I returned the phone to Gregory, still trying to piece everything together.
The person who leaked it knew everything inside out. It wasn’t me. It was not Dorothy. That only left...
While I hesitated to jump to conclusions, Gregory calmly spoke, “Your ex went the distance for you, dragging himself through the
mud to get the Myers family to let you go.”
Thadn’t sorted my thoughts yet. “Hmm?”
“There were only two ways to save you today.” Gregory held up two fingers, laying it out for me, “One, do it as I did, walking right
into the Myers place and taking you. Bryant couldn’t do that. There are too many complications.
“Two, use something else to force the Myers family’s hand, like public pressure. With the scandal, the Myers family can’t afford to
touch you, not today, and they’ll have to ensure you’re safe for a while.”
Hearing that, my grip on the towel tightened.
Ignoring the nagging doubts, I looked straight at Gregory. “And you, why did you come to save me today? And why the patience
explaining all this to me?”
