Lost Me Gained Regret

Chapter 790

Gregory grunted in agreement.

Dailey asked, "To make her sweat a bit first?"

"It's the only way to see her true colors." Gregory closed his eyes again. "With her cunning, she wouldn't dare make a move with your guys on her tail."

Nelly indeed overheard what Gregory said, but she knew him well enough to understand that his words often had a deeper meaning, potentially a dangerous trap.

For now, she couldn't afford to panic first.

The surveillance footage from the escape room, which she had obtained from the owner upon leaving, didn't capture her conversation with Merritt. She could easily explain it away as a random encounter during the game. Yet, for some reason, hearing it from Gregory unsettled her.

She pulled an old flip phone from under her bed, was about to turn it on, but then decided against it, putting it back.

Glancing at the clutter on the floor, she called for the housekeeper to clean up her room.

Madge entered right as the housekeeper was tidying up and asked, "What happened?"

Nelly forced a smile, "Just a little clumsy, knocked some stuff over."
