Her Revenge Was His Regret (Shirley and Gilbert) novel Chapter 202

Chapter 202 The Truth

The ruder her sarcasm, the more jealous she was.

But one sentence stuck in her mind.

Lucas had made breakfast for Sherry.

From what she knew, Lucas never made breakfast for anyone. “Sherry, you really beat me this time. What you said actually rubbed me the wrong way.

“Lucas’s first time making breakfast should have been for me.”

Sherry was surprised. “Being confident is good. But this… don’t you think you’re being ridiculous?”

Julia held up her hands. “Every woman I’ve ever known said that to me. Wanna guess what happened to them in the end?

“They begged me. Even though I was the most important one in their boyfriends’ hearts, they just begged me not to tell their boyfriends to leave them. They’d do anything for that.

“Of course, to me, those guys were just toys. I played with them and threw them away.

“But they were terrified.”

It was clear. She thought Sherry would be next.

“And you’re different from them. You’re not even that important to Lucas. After all, you two aren’t boyfriend and girlfriend. You’re still married.”

Julia stirred her coffee. “No guy likes a married woman. At least my husband is dead. I have no more ties to him.

“Guess what? Even if you get a divorce, do you think Lucas won’t doubt you? He’ll wonder if you still have feelings for your ex-husband. That’s just how guys are.

“And that’s not even your biggest problem. Can you even get a divorce right now?””

Sherry raised an eyebrow. She ignored Julia’s words. Lucas was a person-not some item people could bargain over. “It might have been hard before you came back. But now? With how much Gilbert likes you? It’ll be easy.”

Julia suddenly laughed. Her eyes crinkled up into tiny little crescents. She looked so cute. Even

other customers-far enough not to hear them, but close enough to see her face-stared.

“See? You do have some sense,” Julia said. “So why not just stay at the Bode Villa? Why fight me for Lucas?”

“With your personality, even if I stayed at the Bode Villa, you’d still fight me. You’d be even worse than Wendy.”

Sherry could picture it. If Julia really tried to target her, she’d barely see Gilbert all year. She could count the times on her fingers.

That was the best-case scenario. The worst? They’d see each other often. But Sherry’s life would be worse than Wendy’s.

Julia would find ways to make Gilbert torture her. She’d make her suffer.

“How do you know I’d target you?” Julia said. “You had no status in the Campbell family. No status in the Bode family either. To be honest, if you hadn’t shown up next to Lucas, I wouldn’t even look at you.”

She pushed something across the table to Sherry.

Honestly, I never thought you’d meet Lucas. But it’s just a last-ditch effort. You’ve never beaten me before.

“Do you really think it was a coincidence that you met Gilbert?”

Sherry had met Gilbert when she was in trouble.

The Campbell family was picking on her. Gilbert saw her looking pitiful and helped her. Without him, Sherry might not have made it through that winter. She had even lost the will to live.

Gilbert became her reason to keep going. Her new hope.

“Gilbert went there because I told him to,” Julia said. “His whole relationship with you was under my control.”

The file said it all.

Gilbert had been supposed to get married. But Julia wasn’t sure if she’d ever come back. So her first plan was to pick a woman she could control to marry Gilbert.

“You were my choice. The easy one to control. After all, who can say no to someone who saves their life? I wouldn’t, either.”
