Lost Me Gained Regret

Chapter 518

I couldn't help but chuckle.

I wasn't sure what Gregory had said, but Edith suddenly snapped, "Who's drunk now? Fine, you'll come crawling back to me soon enough!"

With that, she abruptly ended the call, turning to me with a grin. "Jane, could you do your future aunt a favor?"

...She sure took to that role quickly.

I raised an eyebrow, "Future aunt? You really planning on remarrying Herbert just to move up a generation?"

"It's worth considering." Edith winked at me. "So, will you help me out?"

"With what?"

"Don't spill the beans about you and Bella to Gregory."

"Huh?"

"I've never seen Gregory lose his cool." Edith looked positively gleeful.

I laughed. "That's the favor?"

She nodded. "Yep. So, will you?"

"Sure." I readily agreed.

Edith was probably the closest to Gregory among the younger Fords, aside from Molly Ford. I wanted to get on her good side too.

Plus, at tomorrow's celebration party, my backstory was going to be revealed to everyone.

Even if I didn't say anything, Gregory would find out by tomorrow at the latest.

Edith pinched my cheek, looking at me with a fondness usually reserved for elders, "No wonder Gregory's fond of you. Ah, I like you too!"

I sighed in resignation.

...

As soon as Bella got into the SUV, Ivy took the seat beside her.

"So, Jane wasn't upset about your attitude last time, was she?"

"No."

Bella's eyelashes were still damp, her voice filled with relief and a hint of sorrow, "That kid, she doesn't hold grudges. Right when I came downstairs... she, she even called me "Mom"!"

Ivy shared in her happiness, "That's great, that's great! When are you planning on doing the DNA test?"

"We're not doing it."

Bella was decisive, not hesitating at all. "Ivy, you might not believe me, but when she called me, it felt completely different this time!"

Over the years, whether it was young

actors addressing her on set, or even Summer calling her before, none of it moved her like Jane's

When she initially thought Summer was her daughter, she was full of doubts and speculations, insisting on a precise DNA test.

But this time, it was as if some instinct guided her, making her absolutely certain that Jane was her daughter.

The daughter she had carried for ten months and given everything to bring into the world!

Though Ivy also felt that Jane resembled Bella's daughter more, being the rational person she was, she still asked, "Are you sure about this?" "Aren't you afraid of making the same mistake again?"

She was referring to the incident where Summer falsely claimed to be her daughter.

Hearing this, Bella closed her eyes

concerns, but I truly feel that mother-daughter connection. And right now, what she needs most is unconditional maternal love

Ivy was silent for a moment, "Let's leave it at that for now, and see how things go."

Something else came to her mind, "Oh, 'Slow Life' called earlier. They're starting to edit the first episode and were asking how we'd like it done."

Slow Life was the reality show Summer was currently filming.

The production team asking this probably meant there were

less-than-flattering moments

Summer that could stir up

controversy. Hence, they were giving Bella a heads-up.

In other words, the production team was trying to curry favor with Bella.

-We cut out your daughter's negative moments.

"How should it be edited?"

Bella scoffed, "Edit it however it should be. Tell them to focus on what makes the show look good."

Ivy nodded, "Alright, I'll let them know right now."

[Bella says to prioritize the show's quality over consulting her further.]

The producer of Slow Life was taken aback upon receiving Ivy's message.

What did that mean?

Was their attempt at winning favor turned down, and did they end up offending Bella instead? Did Bella think they were threatening her?
