Lost Me Gained Regret Read Online Novel
Chapter 753

"What did you run into?"

Both Dailey and Jane asked almost in unison.

Christine tried hard to recall the details, but it was all a bit hazy. "While I was trying to break free from the seaweed, I thought I saw a hand among the weeds. My leg brushed against something cold and slimy."

"My vision was already blurring from holding my breath for too long, so I couldn't see clearly. I thought maybe a fish swam by, and as for the hand, I'm not even sure now if I actually saw it or if it was just my imagination." "As for the allergic reaction, I've never had allergies before. Did the doctor say it was an allergy?"

Dailey responded, "We're not sure yet, waiting for the test results."

Christine nodded and turned to Jane, "Jane, I know you're worried about me, but Dailey's here with me. You should enjoy your honeymoon with Gregory without worrying about me."

Jane shook her head, "Let's head back to Vista Town. We can't be at ease with you like this. Better have Mr. Abdul or Dr. Andrews take a look."

Christine wanted to protest, but Jane cut her off, "It's already decided, the flight's been booked."

...

Once on the plane, Bella didn't pry much, only asking Christine how she was feeling.

Sipping on her juice, Christine joked, "I'm tough as nails, don't you worry."

Bella laughed, "Your health is yet to be determined, but your positive attitude is definitely something to admire."

Dailey and Gregory were in the smoking lounge.

Gregory was avoiding smoke these days, so Dailey didn't bother taking out his cigarettes.

"Christine's a strong swimmer, even took diving lessons before. She should've been able to free herself from the seaweed. That hand probably wasn't a mistake." Dailey frowned, "I had that area sealed off."

Gregory speculated, "You sealed it off, but the entire ocean isn't under your name. Someone could've dived there from elsewhere."

Dailey had considered this, but for someone to dive from outside his guarded area without being noticed all the way to where Christine was swimming seemed impossible. "Locals born and raised by the sea learn to swim as kids."

"And holding their breath underwater comes naturally," Gregory added. "With an oxygen tank, it shouldn't be hard."

"Now, the question is whether you're

investigating the men Nelly has been

in contact with or your rivals," he continued, a teasing glint in his brown eyes. "You've made quite a few enemies; it'll take some time to sift through them all. If you need my help, just ask."

Dailey, coldly staring at him, "Do you think you've made fewer enemies?"

Gregory, brushing off non-existent dust from his shirt in a carefree and irritating manner, replied, "But I'm happy now, unlike you, walking a thorny path towards happiness."

IMS

...

Dailey, of course, didn't ask for his help, nor did he waste any more time there. Instead, he had Trey back in Vista Town look into his adversaries.

...

Upon landing, Trey sent the investigation results to Primo, who was with Dailey.

Primo reported immediately to Dailey.

"Sir, we found someone. He competed with your father once and lost. Then he used connections to secure a position for his son under your father's jurisdiction. Ironically, his son was dismissed by your father for a serious mistake, closing off any future in politics for him."

This was a deep-seated grudge.

But Dailey hadn't expected the opponent to act so quickly.

He had only just made his relationship with Christine official.

"Has he been in contact with Nelly lately?"
