Lost Me Gained Regret

Chapter 592


I furrowed my brows, "Is it serious?"

"Not serious, but because of this, I couldn't protect Ramona in time."

After hearing that, I knew Pearl wasn't working alone.

But this time, she wasn't pulling the strings from behind the scenes. Instead, she was getting her hands dirty, which I hadn't anticipated.

I glared at Pearl, "I'll have someone bring Dorothy over. Now let go of Ramona!"

"Do you really think you're in a position to negotiate with me?"

Pearl looked smug and confident.

Ramona appeared weak and didn't show any signs of resistance, completely under Pearl's control.

I couldn't help but threaten, "If you've poisoned Ramona again, I promise, you'll pay dearly."

Pearl wasn't intimidated by my threat and even let go of Ramona intentionally.

Ramona's stagger made my heart nearly leap out of my chest.

"Ramona!"

I glared at Pearl furiously, teeth clenched, "Dare to let go and see! I assure you, Dorothy won't get off easy either!"

Pearl laughed mockingly. "All you have are empty threats."

At this moment, I truly felt powerless.

I couldn't get in touch with Gregory. And had no clue where Dorothy was.

If Pearl decided to push it further, not caring about Dorothy and pushing Ramona...

I couldn't bear to think any further, "I'm calling Gregory now to bring Dorothy over."

As I took out my mobile phone, I warned, "You better hold onto Ramona!"

But the call went unanswered until it disconnected.

The more this happened, the more uneasy I felt, worrying if Gregory had encountered some trouble too.

Could he have been in an accident?

"Jane!"

Christine returned after treating her wounds, full of self-blame.

I shook my head, seeing her pale lips, I knew her injuries were severe.

It was me who should feel guilty for dragging her into this.

Right now, I had no time to ask how Pearl had suddenly appeared, all my worries tucked away as I quickly said, "Chris, call Dailey right now."

Christine immediately did as told.

But no one answered.Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

Persistent, she tried several more times.

Still no response.

Christine panicked, "Jane..."

I clenched my fists, turning to Pearl , " I'll have someone fetch the family trust documents, we'll exchange the Myers estate for Ramona, okay?"

I was taking a gamble.

Gambling that Pearl valued the estate more than Dorothy.

"I knew it, the old hag left the Myers estate to you."

Bingo.

I continued to entice, "Yes, I've signed the trust documents, the Myers estate is mine now, but can transfer it to you, as long as you let Ramona go." 

"And."

I pushed the stakes to their highest, "Dorothy will also return to you, unharmed."

"All I want is Ramona, whatever else you want, I can give to you."

Pearl laughed out loud.

I could tell she was pleased.

That kind of happiness that comes with achieving one's goal.

She scornfully said, "Had you done this earlier, Ramona wouldn't have suffered so much."

Just when I thought Pearl was hooked, her expression suddenly twisted into something ferocious.

"Too bad, you're too clever for your own good!"

"Don't think I don't know you're in cahoots with Gregory."

"If I don't see Gregory today, I'll push Ramona down!"

"Please, don't—" I was frantic, seeing Ramona teetering on the edge made my heart ache. Especially since today, of all days, I couldn't reach Gregory.

"I'll give you five minutes. If you can't bring Gregory here, then prepare to collect Ramona's body!" 

Just when my heart was sinking to its lowest, a sharp male voice cut through.

"How about, let's start with you collecting your daughter's body?"
