Chapter 233 A Bold Choice
But with such a tempting offer in front of her, could she really resist signing it? It didn’t seem possible.
Yet if the Harrison family really took the shares back later, Sherry would most likely be blacklisted by them. If she was lucky, she’d never be able to return to King City for the rest of her life.
And that was the best-case scenario.
If she was unlucky… they didn’t dare imagine what would happen.
Honestly, they would have hesitated too.
But Sherry picked up the pen and signed it immediately.
She signed without the slightest hesitation. That kind of blind trust stabbed Gilbert straight through the heart. “Do you really think Mr. Harrison can keep you safe?”
A smile curved on Julia’s lips. “Of course Sherry would listen. Did you forget Mr. Harrison’s words earlier? This is his chip to pursue her.
“Sherry, how dare you? You haven’t even gotten a divorce yet, and you’re letting another man pursue you!”
That sentence jolted Gilbert awake. How could I have almost forgotten that?
No wonder this scene felt so glaring earlier. Is Sherry giving Lucas a chance to pursue her? How dare she?
“Sherry, do you know what you’re doing? You’re giving him a chance-you’re married…”
“Cut the crap. You gave Julia everything, so why can’t someone give me the same? Stop making up stupid excuses. No matter what reason you use, you gave it to her—and Lucas can use the same reason to give it to me.
“After all, you didn’t catch us in bed. How do you know I cheated? I’m just doing what you two did. Unless you’re both guilty-otherwise, why are you meddling in my business?”
Lucas’s clenched hand relaxed slightly. He’d thought Sherry would never sign the contract.
Lucas felt nervous for the first time-but no one could tell.
But it also showed that Sherry had finally broken free from the shadow of these people,

gradually becoming her true self.
How could a girl who fought so fiercely be timid all the time?
It was most likely that she was just kind, unwilling to trample on feelings.
But without those emotional restraints, Sherry would grow to be terrifyingly strong in the future.
And he loved that.
The two stared at each other from across the room.
Gilbert felt extremely uncomfortable. This was clearly giving Lucas a chance to pursue her. But if he said anything else, Sherry would just talk back-saying that he was pursuing Julia too.
His mind suddenly went muddled.
How did things turn out like this?
Why did it end up this way?
I haven’t done anything wrong. How could I explain that?
But there was one thing he was certain of: the Harrison family would never approve of what Lucas had done. It was probably just a spur-of-the-moment decision-after all, he was still young.
Being young and impulsive, it was understandable to catch feelings for someone.
But playboys in their industry were all the same-they played around. They might like today, but be in someone else’s bed tomorrow.

How many men in this world were as devoted as him? He’d never cheated and never touched another woman.
At most, there were some physical contacts during social interactions. In their circle, he was already a model husband.
It was very likely that after tonight, Lucas would regret his impulsive decision. What Sherry had shown might not be worth all this effort.
And when that happened, he’d probably treat her even worse than Gilbert had.
