Lost Me Gained Regret

When Susan caught wind of the conversation, her eyes quickly scanned the room and zeroed in on Richard. She promptly
dragged him outside to greet the incoming guests.
Soon after, a buzz of excitement filled the banquet hall entrance. Bryant, York, and the Myers family trio made their grand
entrance.
Bryant was in a sleek black coat, his demeanor exuding an air of aristocratic coldness and authority with each measured step.
York trailed half a step behind Bryant, much like the last time they visited Janedream, yet it showed they shared a close bond.
Given what Susan had said before greeting the guests, the attendees, savvy as they were, needed no further hints.
Bryant was the elusive big boss of RF Group.
None other than Bryant himself, previously disengaged by the Myers family, came as an esteemed guest, a situation they dare
not take lightly, even if it meant swallowing their pride.
The atmosphere turned subtly tense, with nobody daring to approach casually. The Myers family presented a mix of emotions.
Dorothy appeared excited, Susan visibly thrilled, while Richard was notably uncomfortable, though he remained silent amidst the
crowd.
Some couldn’t help but whisper to Susan, speculating, “This Mr. Ferguson must be here for Dorothy, right? After the engagement
cancellation, he still hasn’t given up on her...”
“Oh, please,” Susan couldn’t hide her delight. “Let’s not dwell on the past. I was too hasty back then, almost costing Dorothy a
splendid match...”
“Enough!” Eager to end the embarrassment, Richard lowered his voice and turned to Bryant, “Mr. Ferguson, I had no idea RF
Group was yours. It’s truly a case of the young outpacing the old. I hope you might show mercy to the Myers Group in business.”
Richard’s words were a mix of admiration and wariness, indicating the Myers Group was struggling under RF Group’s relentless
pressure.
Bryant raised an eyebrow but remained silent while York chuckled, “Mr. Myers, why talk of mercy now? Ms. Myers showed no
mercy while relentlessly pursuing her goals.”

Richard glanced at his wife and daughter, forcing a smile., “Dorothy is young and impulsive. Rest assured. We won’t bring up
such proposals again.”
Christine sneered softly from a distance, “Damn, the Myers family does know how to play the game. Dorothy bullied you the
most, yet no one’s apologizing to you. They’re just good at sucking up.”
“An apology won’t change anything for me,” I muttered.
But Bryant’s relentless targeting of the Myers Group, scooping up a project vital to them, indeed left them in a dire state.
Richard had no choice but to plead with Bryant to spare the Myers family.
Yet, Susan seemed unwilling to let go, glaring at Richard. “Richard, what are you talking about? Why drop the marriage talk...”
“Will you just stop!” Even the usually genteel Richard snapped.
“What did I say wrong?” Susan pulled Dorothy toward Bryant, smiling eagerly, “Bryant, about the disengagement, it had nothing
to do with Dorothy. It was all me and Richard. Considering your situation then, we thought you weren’t up for marriage. But
Dorothy has been thinking about you, even wanted to visit you several times. We had to stop her, fearing she’d bother you!”
