Lost Me Gained Regret

Chapter 857

Christine finally let out a sigh of relief as she stepped outside the large estate gates.

She wiped the cold sweat from her brow.

Quickly, she made her way to the main road.

She had heard stories about the Dailey family's background, but seeing it firsthand was a whole different level of shock.

Now, she couldn't help but feel that ending the relationship was the right decision.

She was grateful it ended quickly, too.

If she had continued dating Dailey, the Clarkson family surely would have been the death of her.

A sudden honk startled Christine.

When she saw Lucius in the driver's seat, her racing heart began to calm.

"Are you here on business?"

"No, I'm here to pick you up."

Christine got into the passenger seat, buckled her seatbelt, and asked, "Did Mr. Ford send you?"

Lucius nodded. "Ms. Jackson, it's best if you don't stay at your place for a while. Pack your things; I'll take you to a temporary stay at Elmwood Villas."

Christine recalled the scene at the Clarkson family's estate and asked, "To protect me from the Clarkson family?"

"Yes, while they may want to cause trouble, they'll be more hesitant on Greg's turf."
