Lost Me Gained Regret

Chapter 440

“Mr. Ferguson, there’s no need for harsh words,” she began, her tone remarkably calm despite the tension buzzing in the air. “Two years ago, I admit I was bewitched by folly. But now, I am undeniably my mother’s daughter.”

Her composure didn’t waver as she continued, “I just wanted to let you know, someone saw Ms. Webster in the restroom looking quite unwell. Isn’t she your ex–wife? Maybe you should check on her?”

Before the echo of her words faded, the man in front of her stormed off towards the restroom with a dark expression clouding his face.

“That’s nonsense. You’re my daughter; no one would dare say a thing,” Bella reassured her, wrapping an arm around her shoulders and leading her towards the elevator. “If you’re uncomfortable, let’s head back to our room. You’ll get used to these events in time.”

“Mom, you’re so good to me!”
