“What family doesn’t argue? I can’t understand why you’re comparing outsiders to family. How can they be the same?”
Even Sherry, as foolish as she might be, should be able to distinguish between the two.
How could she side with outsiders?
Gilbert actually said that so casually. Was he truly clueless, or was he pretending not to understand?
The video had already been leaked. Did he really think that everything they had done against her was out of good intentions?
If they drove her to the point of jumping off a building, would he still say they meant well and that she was just being overly sensitive?
Was it all her fault?
“Malice? The greatest malice I’ve ever experienced in my life has all come from my family. I’ve never felt a single trace of malice from outsiders! Only after leaving this family did I realize that everyone outside is kind! Stop pretending you’re doing this for my own good. In reality, you’re just stupid and wicked. People like you will get your comeuppance sooner or later.
Sherry hung up the phone.
Everyone outside is kind? Where did Sherry learn such twisted logic?
Gilbert slammed the phone down. “Scott, can outsiders really be better than one’s own family?”
Scott was confused but still answered honestly. “Well, outsiders are outsiders. Family is family. They’re completely different.”
Gilbert had an “I told you so” expression. “That’s right, it’s a truth that any normal person would understand. But why does Sherry think Cathy is worse than an outsider?”
After Gilbert finished speaking, Scott remained silent.
He’d better keep quiet.
Cathy’s malice towards Sherry was extraordinary. If it were him, and he didn’t want a divorce, he would immediately separate the two of them.

Things had already reached this point; keeping them together would only lead to more conflict.
He knew that, but he didn’t dare
say
He wouldn’t dare say that Cathy’s malicious behavior didn’t look like that of an innocent little lamb.
Gilbert believed that everything about family superseded the individual. For the sake of family harmony, everyone had to work hard for the harmony of the family.
Since it was for the family, what did a little sacrifice matter?
His father had done the same thing.
Gilbert’s father and grandfather were both like that. Family was above everything else for them.
Every member of the Bode family was like that. This was the reason Gilbert’s grandmother divorced his grandfather in the first place.
Because of this, everyone in the Bode family disliked his grandmother.
Since this was a tradition of the Bode family, he couldn’t say anything.
Out of humanitarian concerns, he probably still thought Sherry was being treated unfairly.
But some wealthy families have many absurd rules. At least the Bode family is like that.
Even Gilbert’s grandmother was treated this way even though she helped his grandfather establish their company. What did Sherry amount to?
Even compared to outsiders, his grandmother contributed more than Sherry.
Yet she still left with nothing.
Marrying into the Bode family naturally meant following their rules. Gilbert told himself he wouldn’t be as excessive as his grandfather.
Why was Sherry dissatisfied?
He thought things were mostly resolved.
Cathy apologized to Sherry. The banquet he was going to take Wendy to could be changed to Sherry instead. Didn’t she say that no one knew he was Mrs. Bode?
Although she didn’t complain much, she only said it once or twice. Although it was in

This time he would give Sherry this opportunity taking her to broaden her horizons.
Unexpectedly, Sherry did something like this again, hurting their relationship. It seemed the lesson he gave her wasn’t enough.
