Her Revenge Was His Regret (Shirley and Gilbert) novel Chapter 206

Chapter 206 Empty Promises.

She looked like she was ready to let Sherry take her anger out. Like she was willing to take all the blame.

Gilbert’s heart softened right away.

Is my ask really that much? All I want is a genuine apology, that’s it.

But Sherry can’t even do that. Just an apology-something this simple.

Even when she’s in the wrong, she acts like the whole world owes her everything.

Gilbert wrapped his arms around Julia. He picked her up in a princess carry. “Don’t be sad. Don’t blame yourself. Forget about Sherry.

“People like her push their luck. Even if you apologized, she wouldn’t accept it. She’d keep going.

“Her personality’s like that. She’d make a bigger and bigger fuss. She’d even force you to do things you don’t want to. She won’t stop until she ruins everything.”

could picture it clearly. Sherry would argue even when she was in the wrong.

w that Julia had made a mistake? Sherry would jump for joy. She’d yell at him, “Julia’s Why aren’t you punishing her? Why?”

She didn’t care if Julia apologized sincerely.

But Julia had admitted her mistake. She’d even gotten beaten up and didn’t shed a single tear. She was willing to take responsibility.

Everyone made mistakes. A sincere apology was a must.

But Sherry didn’t deserve an apology. Not from anyone.

And Julia? She definitely shouldn’t apologize to someone like Sherry. It would lower her.

“But you know I’ll be on screen a lot. And I just gave Sherry proof of what I did.”

Julia wasn’t the type to cry and beg for pity.

Her eyes were naturally soft and gentle. She didn’t even need to cry. She just looked at Gilbert with those big misty eyes.

And Gilbert would want to give her the whole world.

She’s such a cute girl. Why can’t anyone see how good she is? Why does everyone pick on her?

“Don’t worry. As soon as that news comes out, I’ll have people block it. It won’t affect your

movie release at all.

“I’ll pave the way for you in King City. No one will ruin it for you.

“Even if we can’t stop the news, I’ll say I knew about everything.” Gilbert couldn’t help smiling. “After all, it proves you haven’t forgotten me all these years.”

Julia punched him lightly with her small fist. “What are you saying? I could forget anyone in the world-but never you.

“But you? You said you wouldn’t contact me, and you didn’t. A girl has to be modest, you know? You went to Keiperian. You even hung around my place every day. And you still wouldn’t see me?”

Gilbert froze. “You knew I was there? I thought you didn’t. You looked so happy-I didn’t want to bother you.”

When he said “happy,” Julia’s face turned sad. “Actually, Mr. Miller was already very sick back

wasn’t happy at all.

know his business and how Keiperian is. So many people wanted us dead back then.

“I grew up fast-from a silly little girl to who I am now. That’s why we rescued you guys so quickly on the boat. And I even got suspected because of it.”

Gilbert had no idea that had happened.

He thought Sherry’s problems were nothing. Just school bullying. Just tests from the Bodes.

Compare that to Julia. If Sherry had gone through what Julia did, she’d be crying her eyes out, hiding in a corner, and feeling sorry for herself.

“The Harrison family has never gotten involved in anything. They won’t target any group. Am I really not good enough? Did Ms. Campbell say something to Mr. Harrison? Why is he targeting me like this?”

Julia looked so sad like she was going to break. “If Mr. Harrison targets me, I’ll have nowhere to go in King City. Even Seaseat City, eventually.”
