Lost Me Gained Regret

Chapter 501

Knowing Summer's background would help her know Jane's relationship with her.

Of course, they went through the formalities, getting a DNA test to fully confirm the blood relationship.

...

During breakfast one morning, Christine suddenly suggested we should consider opening a branch office in Vista Town.

She had mentioned it to me before.

But, until now, there hadn't been a pressing need, as RiverCity was sufficient for Janedream's operations, so I thought we could wait a bit longer.

"Now that Janedream and you are completely in the limelight, our company's size definitely won't cut it anymore."

Christine analyzed over her bowl of oatmeal, "Our first physical store in Vista Town, once you're back with the Myers family, will obviously focus more on this side. So, opening a branch office in Vista Town is a win-win for both you and Janedream."

Without hesitation, I agreed, "Sounds good to me."

Bella Taylor added fuel to the fire, showing us the financial data from last night until now, the cash flow was already in the eight digits.

With Bella's solid base back home, we were just starting to hit the peak of this windfall.

Opening a branch office was definitely the way to go.

Christine was surprised at how quickly I agreed, "You agreed so fast?"

I served Ike some ham, chuckling, "How could I not?"

"No way." Christine's eyes shimmered with joy, and she let out a long sigh of relief. "I never imagined, Jane, that we could come this far!"

So many moments from the past flashed through my mind.

When Christine and I first met, we took on various part-time jobs, handing out flyers, waitressing, tutoring.

We faced countless rejections and were so poor that even getting sick was a luxury.

I smiled, "That's all behind us, Chris. Things will only get better from here."

For both of us, they had to.

"What's going to get better?"

In the midst of this touching moment, Ike suddenly looked up from his bowl of cereal, blinking innocently, "Is it the love story between you and Uncle?"

I couldn't help but laugh, tapping his little head, "What do you know about love?"NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.

"I know! I know!"

Ike nodded vigorously, his eyes

spinning as he tried to articulate his thoughts, "It's like, I don't like kids who@ry, but if she cries, it's okay! I even have to beg her to stop crying!"

Hearing this, I was slightly taken aback by his thought process and ability to express himself.

However, Christine burst into laughter, "Wow, so young and already a romantic, huh? Does the Ford family specialize in romantics?"

"Ms. Jackson, what do you mean? Who else in the Ford family is a romantic?"

Just as Zoe had quietly left, Gregory Ford walked in, catching the tail end of this conversation. He swapped his shoes for slippers, pulled up a chair, and raised an eyebrow, "What's this now?" Content belongs

Caught gossiping, Christine felt a bit awkward, "Being a romantic is great. My Jane here loves romantics; she wouldn't have it any other way."

I turned to Gregory, "Oatmeal or pancakes?"

Zoe had prepared a lavish breakfast, complete with fruits, vegetables, meats, and eggs.

Gregory grinned, his eyes teasing, "Since I'm a romantic, I'll go with whatever you recommend."

"...I'm full."

Christine put down her utensils, picking up lke to head to the living room, "You're full too, right? Zoe's cooking is always plentiful, yet here are, being fed dog food on the side."

Ike protested being moved away from the table, clamoring, "I want more milk!"

"Did the dog food get stuck in your throat?"

I served Gregory a half bowl of oatmeal, recalling his visit to the Ford Group yesterday, I couldn't help but ask.

"You're not heading to the Ford Group today, are you?"

"It's still the Ford Group."

Gregory took a pancake, dipped it in a bit of syrup, "Unless something unexpected happens, I'll mostly be at the Ford Group from now on."

I tensed up, "Why?"

Him going to the Ford Group always made me nervous!

"Don't worry."

Gregory knew what I feared, "Palmer Ford is no longer at the Ford Group. It won't be so easy for him to come back."

I couldn't help asking, "You drove him away? How did Mr. Ford agree to that?"

"Well..."

Gregory hesitated for a moment, "Speaking of which, your ex played a part in it."
