How did she know? And why would she care about Sherry’s divorce? Sherry didn’t think for a second that Julia actually wanted to marry Gilbert.

But that didn’t mean Julia would let him go either. A top-tier catch in Seaseat City? Men like that had women lining up around the block.

Tonight’s little performance had been for all of them.

Only Julia knew her real aim.

“What are you planning?” Sherry asked. A bad feeling coiled in her stomach.

“Don’t worry so much. You’re so clever, aren’t you?” Julia’s smile turned dark. “You’ve got time. Guess.”

She turned away, leaving Sherry with nothing but her back and the mystery of whatever expression she was wearing.

“Julia.” Sherry’s voice cut through the silence. “At your age, don’t you get tired? Maybe take a rest?”

Beauty fades. No one stays young forever. Could Julia rely on these tricks her whole life?

Actually, yeah. Probably. Young men now, old men later. Same playbook, different generation.

But Julia-the woman who never cracked, never showed weakness-flinched. Actually flinched.

“My age has nothing to do with you! The point is, you might be younger, but I look younger. And I’m going to stay this young forever!”

The words tumbled out faster and faster, desperate, unguarded. Completely rattled,

Sherry finally understood her Achilles’ heel. She feared people calling her old. She feared not being young anymore. She was obsessed with her looks.

Normal people age. But the way she fixated… Sherry felt uncomfortable, so she decided to make Julia uncomfortable too.

Didn’t Julia say

she should guess

with half-truths?

The divorce trial was about to start. The last thing she needed was any slip-up in court.

No matter how Julia knew-whether there was a traitor or how that traitor fed her info.

“Now that you mention it…” Sherry gave her a slow once-over. “Yeah. I can see a few signs.” She turned and walked away without looking back.

Behind her, Julia’s hand flew to her face.

“What do you mean by that?! You’re just jealous of how I look! I haven’t aged! There’s nothing on my face! NOTHING!”

The scream bounced off concrete walls.

“You think that bothers me? You think I care?! Tomorrow, your dirty laundry goes public! Everything the inner circle knows, everyone’s about to find out! You’ll carry this for the rest of your life!”

Folks in that circle didn’t gossip about nobodies like Sherry. A laugh, a shrug, and they moved on. The higher they sat, the more they loved watching someone fall-but Sherry wasn’t high enough to be interesting. She’d be forgotten by lunch.

But ordinary people? They didn’t know the inner circle’s secrets. That’s what made them juicy. And there were so many of them.

If I can’t sleep tonight, neither will she.

But Sherry’s footsteps never paused. She was already gone.

Julia nearly snapped her stiletto heel, stomping back to her car. By the time she got home, she checked the trending topics. Just like she imagined, the trending topics were shredding Sherry.

Sherry’s calm? Totally an act.

No one stays calm except me. Everyone’s exactly where I want them. Nothing happens without my say-so.

The thought of almost being fooled by that woman made her furious. She ran a hot bath and acted like nothing happened.

She scrubbed herself until she smelled sweet, then decided it wasn’t enough and spritzed perfume. Cool as ever, she lay on a face mask.

Her phone wouldn’t stop buzzing. It was her assistant sending messages.

Then George called. “Jules, did you see what’s blowing up online?”

His voice was tight with panic.
