[Mrs. Adah Ford was on the verge of a breakdown.]
[Johnny Ford joins the Ford Group.]
[Mr. Johnny and Mr. Gregory in the Ford Group]
[Mr. Johnny, a threat to Mr. Gregory's position.]
[Mr. Johnny is in secret talks with the RF Group.]
By evening, the whispers had beca roar. Upon seeing the last piece of gossip, | couldn’t help but call Bryant.
“Did you have a hand in this?”
There was a pause on the other end, followed by a sarcastic laugh. “Which part are you referring to? The Myers
family’s so-called heiress or the Ford family’s mess?”
| said firmly, “You know what I'm talking about.”
“If you say so, yes, all of it.” His voice was cold, the flick of his lighter echoing through the phone. “Jane, come
back to being Mrs. Ferguson. | can handle it for you, whether the Myers or the Ford families’ mess.”
| paused, unsure. “The Ford family’s mess?”
“Gregory's mess,” he clarified, his voice rough with the drag of a cigarette. “You think Klein just wanted you to
leave Gregory? He's also eyeing a partnership with the RF Group to elevate the Ford family’s status.”
| forced myself to stay calm, “You know about Johnny, the Ford family’s illegitimate son?”

Suddenly, it all made sense. What made Klein willing to give up Gregory? It wasn’t about me. It was about
benefits.
With Gregory andtogether, Bryant would relentlessly target the Ford Group. But with Johnny, there might be
a chance for a win-win collaboration with the RF Group. It wouldn't necessarily change the situation, even if
Gregory and | went our separate ways. The only way to shift the balance was

for Bryant to step in, making York cut off contact with Johnny.
Without that leverage, Johnny's path to power would crumble.
The setting sun’s light madedizzy, and | sank onto the couch. “Bryant, what's the point? | don’t love you
anymore. Being Mrs. Ferguson like this...”
“It’s not about what makes sense to you. It’s my call.” Bryant's tone was unyielding, almost pathological. “Jane,
love can happen twice.”
| sighed. “I'm not foolish enough to fall into the strap again.”
“A month. Give it a month,” his voice strained, emotion cracking through, “and if you still feel the same, I'll let
you go.”
But | didn’t feel relieved. A month could change everything. “I can’t give you an
answer now.”
“I'm almost at Vista Town.” He dropped that bombshell coldly. “You don’t have much tto decide.”
In frustration, | threw my phone. |

In a way, Bryant and | were the same. We were equally presumptuous!
Barefoot, | walked to the window, pushing it open and leaning out.
Clang! The mug slipped from my grip but landed on the carpet, unbroken, snappingback to reality.
| quickly withdrew, sliding down the wall to sit on the floor, knees hugged to my chest, unable to stop the tears.
