Goodbye, Mr. Regret

Chapter 149

Jessica caught the meaning behind Latonia's words right away.

It wasn't that the Wheeler Group couldn't stand their ground against the Lawsons -it just hadn't come to that point yet.

To Latonia and Herbert, Jessica was nothing more than a former neighbor. They might offer her a small favor out of courtesy, but anything beyond that was unlikely.

She simply wasn't important enough to them.

And a relationship so shallow shouldn't be burdened by her troubles.

After finishing her conversation with Latonia, Jessica left the hotel.

Latonia had chosen not to meet her at the Wheeler estate this time.

Jessica had long grown used to the ebb and flow of people's kindness. Compared to others, Latonia had already shown her more respect, even taking care not to hurt her feelings.

Jessica wasn't sure if she should feel grateful or just quietly disappointed.

After all, this whole mess had started because of her-she couldn't just wash her hands of it. But she also didn't want to cause Herbert unnecessary trouble.

It looked like going back home was off the table.

Jessica hailed a cab and asked the driver to take her to the amusement park.
