Lost Me Gained Regret

Chapter 618



Christine was in the throes of a vibrant dance floor, lost in the beats and lights, when her wristwatch buzzed with an incoming call. As she reached to check it, an unseen force whisked her away from the dance and into the privacy of a lounge.

Stumbling through the doorway, she regained her footing only to lock eyes with a face both familiar and icily distant.

Before she could utter a word, her wristwatch vibrated once more. It was Jane on the line. "Have you been able to reach Dailey? I can't seem to get a hold of Gregory."

What a coincidence, Dailey was right there in front of her.

Christine extended her watch towards him. "Hear that, Mr. Clarkson?"

Dailey, catching the urgency, immediately dialed out on his phone.

Christine, still on the line with Jane, asked, "Did you try reaching Lucius?"

"No luck there."
