Lost Me Gained Regret

"Let me see."

Gregory seemed to be glancing at his phone while explaining to me, "Had a marathon meeting, left my phone with Lucius. He saw it was your call and brought it into the meeting room for me." "Every cloud has a silver lining, don't worry."

Despite his reassurance, I couldn't help but feel uneasy, "This is targeted at you, right? Is Palmer Ford behind this?"

"You got the first part right."

Gregory took a sip of something, his voice a bit clearer, "But Palmer isn't that foolish. He's the type to cut off his nose to spite his face, not the kind to 'shoot himself in the foot.""" Gregory's logic made sense.

Before he returned to the Ford Group, the new chip had already hit the market, and Palmer had been in charge on paper. Ultimately, this was Palmer's responsibility.

Palmer stirring things up now could indeed make Gregory's life difficult, but it would also completely ruin any chance of him returning to the Ford Group.

But if it wasn't Palmer...

I frowned, asking, "Then who could it be?"

Take it easy, all in due time. Sneaky folks will slip up eventually.

After saying this, Gregory seemed to remember something, "About the celebration dinner tonight, I might be a bit late."

At that moment, I remembered he still didn't know Bella was my biological mother.

One, because I had promised Edith Ford, and two, because he hadn't come home last night.

Now wasn't the time to distract him with this, so I nodded, "No worries, focus on the group's issues. If you can't make it, it's okay." "By the way, if you need some cash, I can help tide you over."
