“She did all that stuff. It’s got nothing to do with me. I’m innocent.” Sherry didn’t give Gilbert a chance to doubt it.

She needed to save herself.

“All those people she scammed? Their families fell apart, and they ended up with nothing. You’re Gilbert’s wife, and she’s his side chick. We want yours to fall apart too! Let’s ‘see-you gonna pick your wife, or this messed-up side chick?”

Gilbert looked at Sherry. She didn’t look surprised at all-like she’d heard this before. That reaction was totally weird.

He blurted out, “Wendy, don’t lie to me. You know I can look into this and find the truth.”

Wendy’s tears and snot were all over her face. She was a complete mess, and his words terrified her. She could only hope Gilbert still loved her-that he’d pick her first, like he always did.

But she couldn’t let Gilbert investigate. He’d find out even worse stuff about her past. “Fine, okay-I did it! But my parents died back then, and I had my weak sister to take care of. I had no choice. I just wanted to stay alive.”

This time, she was really crying-no faking it.

Gilbert’s eyes got dark. Wendy was lying. When they left, her sister had married a rich guy. There’s no way she’d been that desperate.

He’d even sent someone to check on her sister. She said they were doing great overseas. That’s why he’d been able to relax all these years. Her sister would never leave her hanging. “Wendy, if you tell me the truth, I might still pick you.”

Wendy froze. “I am telling the truth! I swear I am!”

What went wrong? She’d admitted everything she’d done.

But Gilbert was really gonna pick Sherry.

Wendy stared at Sherry’s blank face. For a second, she thought she saw a little mockery. “Sherry, you’re so smug now, huh? Gilbert finally picked you-you finally beat me! You happy? If I die, I’ll come back to haunt you!”

“Gilbert, stop!” A shout sounded.

Her voice was soft and beautiful.

A stunning woman walked over slowly.

She had on a red dress that showed off a bit of her calves. She was slim and tall, with a tiny waist-so small

you could wrap one hand around it.

Her body was curvy, but her face was a whole different story.

She had an oval face, a mix of innocence and charm. Her skin was perfect-no blemishes at all. Especially her eyes-they looked like they held a pool of water, bright and shiny.

A few strands of hair brushed her skin as the sea wind blew.

Sherry could see everyone staring at that figure. They all swallowed hard without even thinking about it.

The second that woman showed up, Gilbert never looked at Sherry-or even Wendy-again. He didn’t even pay attention to Wendy’s crying.

Sherry had always felt Gilbert didn’t really love Wendy all that much. But he’d been nice to her. She’d never gotten why.

If he didn’t love her, why was he so kind to her?

Now Sherry thought she knew the reason.

Wendy’s eyes lit up for a second. “Yes! My sister’s here! Sherry, see that? The woman everyone’s staring at, like she’s a goddess? That’s Julia!

“You’re not even good enough to touch a single strand of her hair.”

A big, triumphant smile was still on her face.

Until Gilbert ran over without hesitation, pulling that woman tight into his arms.

It was like nobody else existed in the whole world-just the two of them.

That hug was full of so much longing-like he’d missed her forever.

Sherry remembered-Gilbert once went to work in Keiperian for a while. They hadn’t seen each other for half a year.

When they met again at the airport, he’d hugged her just like this-like nothing else mattered.

Sherry didn’t get it. How could one person’s heart be split between two people?
