Her Revenge Was His Regret (Shirley and Gilbert) novel Chapter 189

Chapter 189 The Final Humiliation

Teresa pointed at Sherry and started yelling. “Did you see that? Ever since she went to King City, she’s gotten even more out of control! She doesn’t even respect you anymore! She must have found another guy she likes and wants to dump you-that’s why she won’t listen to you.”

When Gilbert heard that, his eyes widened. Soon, he let out a cold laugh through his nose. “So you’re still not giving up? You still think Mr. Harrison will be into you? Don’t tell me you’re like those other girls, dreaming he’ll marry you?

“Quit being ridiculous. You’re just someone he played with and tossed aside.”

Even he thought Sherry was getting more and more tacky. If that was how he felt, there was no way the famous Harrison family would ever notice her.

She was way beneath them.

To

put

it bluntly, she was just being stupidly overconfident.

“So Mr. Bode, you look down on your own wife?” someone said. “Then why did you marry her in the first place? Was it because you couldn’t get the one you really wanted?”

As soon as those words were out, everyone’s eyes followed Gilbert to Julia, who was standing nearby.

“Mr. Harrison, don’t listen to these rumors,” Gilbert hurried to say. “My relationship with Julia is pure friendship-stronger than anything outsiders can understand.”

Gilbert explained himself not for his own sake, of course. He was worried people would get the wrong

idea about Julia.

Poor Sherry. After all these years, she had never once heard Gilbert defend her like that.

“As for Sherry and me-that’s our personal business. Not even you have the right to meddle in it!”

“I don’t care about your personal business,” Lucas said. “But this is a professional event-this is business.”

“Business?” Gilbert sneered when he heard that, a mocking smile tugging at his lips.

Sherry suddenly realized something.

Gilbert had looked down on her from the start.

1/3

Because Gilbert treated her so poorly, everyone around him thought she was useless-just a maid.

He was the one who made them think that way. That’s why everyone looked at her like she was nothing.

Because Gilbert thought she was beneath him, those people dared to treat her so badly.

Those people were mean, but Gilbert was the one who started it all.

Once she realized that, it didn’t matter if Gilbert had ever loved her. It didn’t matter if he’d married her only because he couldn’t get his true love.

Sherry made an even more terrible discovery: Gilbert looked down on her from the bottom of

his heart.

He didn’t just play with her feelings-he trampled on her dignity, too.

No wonder people talked behind her back, saying she’d slept her

way to the taken advantage of Gilbert when he was down and forced him to marry her.

top.

That she’d

So that’s what Gilbert thought of her, too. That’s why he never denied those rumors. That’s why he never defended her or stood up for her when people insulted her.

Deep down, he believed every word of it.

Sherry felt like she couldn’t stand anymore.

It was like her whole world was falling apart. This man-she’d always thought he was her

salvation?

It was all just self-deception. It turned out that in everyone’s eyes, she was just a cheap opportunist. Did he even love her? When he heard that question, Sherry wondered if Gilbert’s first reaction was to laugh.

Sure enough, the words slipped out of Gilbert’s mouth before he even thought. “The only ‘business’ Sherry will ever be part of is jobs like cleaning houses or being a maid.
