Lost Me, Gained Regret (Jane and Bryant Ferguson) novel Chapter 856

Dailey retorted, "What do you mean I'm not taking this seriously?"

"If it weren't for your close relationship with Merritt's grandmother, I wouldn't have kept her around to compare notes with Merritt."

"Even legally, without statements, there's no way to file charges or convict anyone."

Nelly wasn't surprised. She knew Dailey's ways all too well.

But all of this didn't matter anymore.

At this point, there was nothing to do but wait for the right opportunity to escape the country.

As long as Dailey didn't throw her in jail or worse, end her life.

There was always a chance.

"Ms. Jackson… even if you don't like Dai and want to separate from him, don't use me as a scapegoat. Can't we women be a little friendlier to each other?"

Christine let out a cold laugh.

When you were plotting against me, did you ever think about being "friendly"?

She said, "Merritt already told me everything. Your acting is unnecessary now."

Dailey chimed in, "If you don't want to see her, fine. Let Merritt come over. Once they compare stories, justice will follow."

Christine definitely wanted Nelly behind bars, but Merritt had been involved too.

Nelly was cunning enough to have a backup plan.

She feared Merritt going to jail, leaving Helena unattended.

Moreover, she didn't want Merritt's promising future to be ruined.

"Christine, if you side with me, I can handle your concerns. Otherwise, you know the consequences."

Otherwise…

Even if Merritt was misled by Nelly into participating in the RiverCity plan that night.

With Dailey's influence, he could still end up in jail.

Christine once again felt like her words were borrowed.

Why did she always manage to complicate things?

She intended to use Nelly to escape, but instead dragged Merritt into it.
