Melissa knew Gilbert had a soft heart—you just needed the right way to win him over.

She could do all the tricks Julia used. She thought she was no worse than Julia.

But one hunter was hunted by another.

She was better at waiting than anyone. To reach her goal, she could lie low for years-and she’d done just that.

But lately, things had come to the surface. She couldn’t hide her thoughts anymore. Once that desire took root, it grew stronger-making her anxious.

Anxiety made people slip up.

It seemed Melissa wanted more than just moving up the social ladder.

A faint smile tugged at Sherry’s lips. “I’ll admit-Gilbert was once the only light in my life. But that doesn’t mean he can stay that way forever.”

“Lucas?” Melissa said just his name, no more. She knew if Sherry had a new target, she’d never go back to Gilbert.

Then she’d help Sherry with all her might.

“Adam will contact me soon. I’m sure we’ll get our first court date soon.”

Finally-she could take that step. She felt lighter than she’d imagined.

She wasn’t using Melissa’s guilt,

Melissa had done countless things to hurt her behind her back.

If Wendy hadn’t shown up, Sherry was sure Melissa would’ve targeted her without hesitation- maybe she already had.

She didn’t believe Melissa hadn’t had a hand in the troubles she’d faced at the company before.

And she’d warned Melissa-she knew what Gilbert was like. If Melissa wanted to jump into this fire pit, it was her own fault.

As if on cue, Adam texted her, saying the summons should have reached Gilbert by now.

But this time, there were no angry spam messages from him. If she could get the divorce easily, Sherry would even accept getting no property.

Now she finally understood why some women would give up everything to get a divorce. She couldn’t afford to waste another minute with him-every second was torture.

The court date was set for two days after Julia’s movie premiere.

Sherry hadn’t done anything for the premiere, but everyone else was on edge. The dresses had been in design for ages-after all, this was SC’s first formal dress showcase.

They needed to make a splash. This was their chance to compete with Angel Shop for resources in the future.

Most of them wanted the designs to stun everyone—to make people remember SC.

“Our end goal? Make Julia and her Angel Shop get out of our country for good.”

The group

talked excitedly about current trends, but none seemed satisfied. The premiere was coming fast-it was about their pride. They refused to lose to Julia.

Angel Shop had been around for years. Their customer base dictated trends.

Even if their designs weren’t mainstream, their fans would call them “divine.” They already had a solid fan base.

To turn the tables would be incredibly hard.

Sherry seemed to think of something. She leaned in and whispered to them. Their expressions. slowly turned mischievous and confident.

They all gave her a thumbs-up. “We thought you were just hiding behind us. Who knew you’re tougher than all of us?”

The big day arrived faster than expected. These days were probably Julia’s most glorious yet- everyone was talking about her movie’s plot,

The fact that people were talking more about the plot than Julia herself meant the movie was already half a success. If the box office was good, it would be a perfect debut.
