At the time, Sherry thought they knew about her being at the martial arts school, which was why they had those expressions.
The Hunts suppressed the incident for the sake of their reputation. Unexpectedly, the Campbells also suppressed it. When it was first revealed, only a few people knew.
Claire, afraid of being embarrassed, spent a lot of money to cover it up. Some of the people present that day might have known, some might not have. Those who knew might not have known exactly what happened.
Moreover, the adoption of the adopted daughter was a big scandal, so people didn’t know about this incident.
Sherry was unaware at the time, so she misunderstood.
The Campbells’ expressions were angry.
After the guests left, Claire pushed her. “Sherry, I sent you to school not to learn how to be a bitch. Were you deliberately wearing an ill-fitting dress to embarrass me? Did you want everyone to know that I trusted the wrong person and that you were wronged?”
“The dress isn’t too big,” Sherry argued, holding back tears.
“Then you deliberately didn’t zip it up, making it look ill-fitting, so they would talk about me. Are you even human? How could I have a daughter like you? I suffered so much for you, thinking of you in everything. You get a little wronged and you throw a tantrum at me.”
Sherry reached for her back. Because of the fight she had with Liam, she had suffered many injuries. She endured the pain to reach for it and found that the zipper on her back wasn’t zipped up.
She had been wearing the dress with the unzipped zipper all night
And she was the last one to know.
“Teresa helped me zip this up. My arm was injured. If you had reminded me, I would have zipped it up.” She didn’t want to be so embarrassed and show her underwear!
Teresa immediately burst into tears. “I didn’t. I didn’t zip up your dress at all. Why are you framing me? Just because the party celebrating my adoption and your return party were on the same day, you’re upset and deliberately caused this mess, and now you’re trying to blame me?”
Joseph said, “Sherry! Get out. You’re not allowed in the house today. How many problems have you caused since you came back? Since you’re so eager to cause trouble at parties, then you won’t be attending any more parties.”
Sherry was kicked out that day.
It was pouring rain outside. She huddled by the door in a place where she wouldn’t get wet and sat there all night.

The next day she had a fever.

Teresa covered her mouth in surprise. “So you’re this delicate? I slept in the snow in winter and didn’t even catch a cold.”
She was lying through her teeth.
It rarely snows in Seaseat City. Who would sleep in the snow? And Teresa’s family couldn’t afford a tent!
But the Campbells believed her.
They accused her. “We’ve never seen anyone as dramatic as you. Maybe a fever will make you healthier. We’re going on a trip. You can be dramatic at home by yourself.”
They left her alone at home. Luckily, it wasn’t in the villa area. The neighbors saw her and took her to the hospital.
From then on, what she hated most was that everyone knew something, but the people closest to her wouldn’t tell her, making her look like a fool.
Thinking back, when Gilbert was around, those people were still respectful to her. But when he wasn’t there, their eyes changed, and they even whispered. They must have been saying that she was the one who blackmailed Gilbert into marriage.
Now she finally understood the reason.
After being refused rides by several cars, Gilbert rushed out. He was indeed a rich man. He had already changed into clean clothes.
Only the two of them were still covered in mud. But neither of them wanted to see him.
“Sherry, where are you going? Don’t be so stubborn. No one will give you a ride dressed like that. Come home with me. Let’s talk about what happened.”
Sherry stopped. “Talk about it?” Her eyes were full of sarcasm. “Why don’t you explain to me what those rumors about me forcing you to marry me mean? Gilbert, be honest with yourself, did I force you to marry me?”
Gilbert quickly retorted. “No!”
“Then why are these rumors spreading? You clearly know why, so why didn’t you stop them? Or was I not your first choice from the beginning, which is why you hesitated?”
