Lost Me Gained Regret

Chapter 619

The line went dead silent.

| felt more certain of my suspicions and sniffled, "You keeping secrets from me, it's gotworried."

Gregory felt a headache coming on.

Telling her would cause worry.

Not telling her would cause even more worry.

Thinking this, his cold gaze, sharp as a blade, fixed on Lucius who had been clumsily tending to his wounds just

moments ago.

Lucius felt wronged but bore it silently.

After dressing the wound, he quietly stepped back.

Gregory glanced at the wound on his abdomen, pinched the bridge of his nose, and finally spoke, "The

negotiation didn't go smoothly, but you don't have to worry, I'm fine."

| had been waiting for him to speak, and during that agonizing minute-long wait, | was sure something had

happened to him.

And here | was, unable to fly over and see him.

That would only distract and worry him more.

"Why don't you just tellthe truth? How can | not worry?"

Gregory let out a soft chuckle, "You don't have to make up excuses to wantback."

"I promise, I'll be back in a couple of days."

Lucius looked like he wanted to say something.

A gunshot wound, flying could tear it open.

And upon returning, wouldn't Jane demand a thorough check? How could he possibly hide it?

Better to find an excuse to stay and heal before going back.

"Don't cry now, | can't wipe your tears from this far away."

"You worry about me, and | worry about you too, givea break, will you?"

| wiped my face and said, "Then tellthe truth."

"I'll be back the day after tomorrow, and then you can check thoroughly, okay?"

"Be good, | still have a meeting to attend. Wait forto return, okay?"

Gregory gave a signal, and Lucius quickly added, "Gregory, we're abroad, it's not good to keep Mr. John waiting

too long." Gregory asked me, "You heard that?"

"I'll call you back once I'm done, okay?"

| guess | couldn't pry anything more out of him now, didn't want to hold up his work.

"Okay, go on."

"Go to sleep, good night."

"Good night."

After hanging up, my heart felt stuffed with cotton, struggling to breathe.

| had napped earlier, so | wasn't sleepy now. | got up and walked to the yard.

The weather was nice tonight, the moonlight clear and refreshing.

The moon was full, signifying the harvest festival was just around the corner.

Harvest festival, a tfor reunion.

| just hoped...

He would return safely.

Lucius felt the temperature in the hotel room drop several degrees after the call ended.

He saw a fleeting murderous intent in Gregory's eyes, along with a trace of anger.

"Spill it, who sent you to kill me?"

Everyone on the floor remained silent.

Gregory scoffed coldly and approached.

"Rushing into my room earlier, what did you say? Oh, in English, it's called 'shutting the door to beat the dog'?"

Those kneeling kept their heads down, still not speaking.

Gregory picked up a taser handed to him by an underling.

"Not talking is fine, I'm in a bad mood today, but that won't stopfrom teaching you a lesson."

Those kneeling, merely hired for a job, didn't know Gregory well and thought he was asking for a beating.

Their employer's choice of words, "shutting the door to beat the dog," had seemed apt at the time. "Creating an

explosion back hto send my assistant away, attackingalone in my hotel room." "This isn't ‘shutting the

door to beat the dog." This is "

"Inviting the gentleman into the urn."

"And in this urn, I'm beating the dog."

Before those on the floor could grasp Gregory's metaphor, they were struck hard, wailing in pain.

Gregory motioned for Lucius to pull one of the intruders up.

Gregory tapped the taser on the camera in front of him, lifting his chin slightly, his demeanor wild and arrogant.

"This lesson cost you a lot, I'm sure you've understood it, right? Samuel Wallin."

On the other end of the camera was indeed Samuel.

-A boss of the local mafia, the Wallin family.

Initially, he had agreed with Josiah to take out Gregory.

But now, things were getting interesting.

"| like people like him," Samuel's eyes gleamed, "It's been a while since I've met someone this interesting."

Josiah was speechless.

What charm does Gregory possess to appeal to both men and women alike?

What Josiah loathed the most was Gregory's arrogance, as if no one in the world could touch him.

Wait.

There was one way.
