Chapter 274 

As it turned out, Bryant was indeed thinking that. 

I was just a burden to him. He must have been harboring resentment for a while. 

Otherwise, such cutting words wouldn’t have come out so easily. 

A bitter smile tugged at the comers of my mouth. I should’ve never hoped he would come to my rescue 

Jarrod clapped his hands, saying, “Mr. Ferguson, you really live up to expectation, able to let go so easily!” 

Bryant…” 

Dorothy winced in Bryant’s arms, “My leg hurts so much, I think I injured it just now.” 

“Hmm” 

Bryant responded, ready to stride away! 

Jarrod called out to him, “Mr. Ferguson, about Ms. Webster.. 

“Whatever!” Without stopping, Bryant spat, indifferent. 

It seemed, how I ended up didn’t concem him at all. His attention was solely on Dorothy’s injury. 

His tall, straight figure quickly disappeared from my sight

Outside, the sound of tires screeching against the ground echoed for a few seconds before everything returned to silence. 

I squinted at the flickering bulb above, suddenly laughing. “You want to kill me, don’t you? Go ahead.” 

Bryant’s earlier shot had already given me a brush with death. I was no longer afraid. 

Jarrod stubbed out the remainder of his cigar on the ground, looking at me with flushed cheeks, “Mrs. Ferguson, the Myerses might be fools, but I’m not. For now, I wouldn’t dare touch you. Today, I’ll let you go, but if there ever comes a time when I need a favor I hope you’ll speak well of me.” 

“What good could I do for you?” 

I laughed at myself. Me, powerless and as insignificant as an ant, easily crushed by the Myerses, how could I possibly be of help to 

him? 

Jarrod waved his hand, “You can’t talk like that. Fortune turns like a wheel; who says you’ll always be down on your luck?” 

I didn’t believe he was being kind, “You’re really willing to let me go?” 

“Of course 

know that I Jarrod signaled his men to untie me, then slowly said, “But, you can’t let the Myerses Suddenly freed, I collapsed on the ground, gasping for fresh air as life surged back into me. After a moment, I managed to speak, “is that so, and how do you want me to cooperate?” 

“Jarrod, Mr. Ford has arrived,” 

One of the thugs suddenly came down, his face flushed with panic. 

Was it Gregory? 

Jarrod asked, “Which Mc Ford?” 

“Vista Town’s Mr. Ford.” 

Smack! 

I let you go this easily.” 

Jarrod’s face tumed livid, and he slapped his subordinate, cursing, “Are you an idiot, leaving him waiting outside?!” 

He couldn’t bother with me anymore, straightening his long coat as he hurried upstairs. 

It seemed he ran straight into Gregory at the entrance to the basement.

Jarrod, who dared to negotiate terms in front of Bryant, was completely cowed in front of Gregory, “Greg, I mean, Mr. Ford, you to see me? A call and I would’ve been right there, why go through the trouble of coming yourself?” 

I wasn’t sure it was Gregory until I heard “Greg.” 

At Dorothy’s birthday party, that’s how Gregory’s close friends had called him too 

“See you?” 

Gregory was as arrogantly casual as ever, “Do you have any idea, you’ve messed up my plans?”

“What, what plans?” 

“Jane was supposed to pick someone up for me, and you got her tied up here?” 

Gregory’s voice was filled with cold fury, “Jarrod, you’ve gotten bold, have you no respect left for me?” 

“L“Jarrod seemed unwilling to provoke him, quickly using Dorothy as his excuse, 1 I had no choice. Mrs. Myers and her daughter came to me with this request. You know. I can’t afford to offend the Myernes either, but I didn’t know about Ms. Webster and you. Had I known about your ties, I wouldn’t dare lay a finger on her!”
