Chapter 194 Sherry Fights Back
People in King City thought Seaseat City had a good spot-close to other countries. They said groups in Seaseat City blocked their foreign deals, stealing them halfway.
Eventually, things got so bad they split.
Decades passed before things started to ease up.
Today was just a chance for everyone to meet.
Gilbert was so proud he texted Sherry, “Sherry, you’re short-sighted. Because of you, the Harrison family lost their edge.”
Sherry to be his assistant? Mr. Harrison is exactly as I thought.
s no real decision-making skills. His parents are traveling and can’t make it, so they sent Lucas to gala.
d he messed it up.
He texted, “Look at Julia. She’s swimming in opportunities.
“Julia’s resources fixed our foreign gaps. Now we’re developing in King City, thanks to her. Who knows who’s stronger now?
“Sherry, I’ll cut you a break. Apologize to Julia, and she’ll let you work under her. Isn’t that what you wanted-experience?”
Gilbert sent this as a voice note.
Julia heard and jumped in. “That’s right, Sherry. You’ve never worked in this field, and you took a hard job. It’s just an assistant, but it matters. One mistake, and you’ll hurt Mr. Harrison’s company.
“Work under me first. When you’re ready, you can go back. We’re looking out for you—better than messing up both families.
“If you
you’ll never get that job back.”
like they really cared about her.
re sure she’d mess up.

“Then tell me, Ms. Mack-what job are you giving me?” Sherry asked, faking worry.
Julia narrowed her eyes, in control. “To keep you from stress, start simple. Just do the odd jobs for me.”
Sherry laughed out loud.
Gilbert heard the sarcasm. “Sherry, what’s that mean? Julia’s not mad you messed with her, and she’s helping. You think grunt work’s that easy? There’s more to it.”
“Then I’ll just get a job as a server. Why bother doing this grunt work for you here?”
It was just fear.
She was scared that Julia would pick on her on purpose. Sherry saw it coming.
“You and Julia are perfect. You both give me stupid jobs, then say I’m only good for that.
“Then you’ll let me do the odd jobs forever, then laugh and say I’m no good.”
Gilbert frowned. “What are you talking about? You think Julia won’t teach you? That she’s messing with you? How dare you accuse a good person you don’t even know?”
“Because she keeps putting me on trends. Because she’s got a big mouth. I don’t know her- why does she talk about me? Can’t she live without me? Who does Julia think she is, making me get hate?”
Sherry’s words made Gilbert livid.
She was so rude.
“Sherry, if you didn’t do stupid stuff, you wouldn’t get hate! Why not others? Because you’re wrong! This isn’t Julia’s fault.”
“Oh, it is her fault! If she didn’t run her mouth, none of this would’ve happened. Today she tried to act like a goddess, talking nonsense-until Lucas saw through her. Let’s be real, Julia- you look stupid.”
Sherry made up her mind then.
