Lost Me Gained Regret

Before he could make any sense of it, he heard Jane speaking into the camera.

"Gregory, you see this? Stop looking for me..."

!!!

Was Jane possessed?!

Lucius wiped the cold sweat off his forehead, trembling, "Should... should we show this to Greg?"

Dailey asked, "Did Mark send this?"

"No?"

Shaking his head, Lucius replied, "It was Josiah. Looks like Samuel's crew is trying to strong-arm Gregory into joining them."

Dailey pondered, "This just confirms the tight connection between Mark and Samuel."

Lucius said, "With the way things are now, there's no point in hiding it."

Dailey couldn't understand why Jane would do such a thing.

He dragged the progress bar back to the start, intending to watch it again, but suddenly, his phone was yanked away. Turning around, Dailey locked eyes with Gregory, and then with Lucius.

It was like asking: Why didn't you warn me?

Gregory had moved silently; he had just noticed him too.

Gregory pressed play before Dailey could stop him.

Watching, the man's face turned ice-cold, veins bulging on his hand as he crushed the phone's screen.

It was clear how strong and furious he was.

Lucius might lose a phone, but Gregory's heart was shattered, and that's not so easily replaced.

"Gregory, your wife must've been cornered..."

Gregory lifted his gaze, a frosty look stopping Lucius mid-sentence. He had seen the video; Jane seemed quite willing to cooperate. "Cornered has many meanings..."

Even under the thick night, Dailey could see Gregory's barely contained rage, his eyes tinged with a bloody red.

If Mark were here now, Dailey was sure Gregory wouldn't hesitate to take his life.

"Don't panic just yet, this looks kind of doctored..."

"It's not."

Gregory's interruption left Dailey at a loss, "Not what?"

"Not doctored."

Dailey was speechless; he was trying to comfort him, and yet here he was, not taking the easy way out.

"Anyway, there must be some dire reason..."

"Lucius." Gregory interrupted again, "Check this symbol."

Lucius, puzzled, took the phone. "What symbol?"

"Jane's hands."

Hearing this, Lucius hurriedly rewatched the video.

Dailey watched along.

Initially shocked by Jane's seemingly affectionate gesture, they had overlooked everything else.

With Gregory's prompt, they now noticed Jane's intertwined fingers forming a symbol.

"This looks like... a private maritime signal..."

Dailey wasn't sure, so he took a screenshot and zoomed in.

Navigating to the border through international waters was tough; t to pass through private .

But private waters were numerous and dangerous.

With Samuel backing Mark, navigating these waters would undoubtedly be easier for them.

Not so much for Gregory and his crew.

But now, with this symbol, their search might just become easier.

"Your wife's pretty clever, huh."
