Her Revenge Was His Regret (Shirley and Gilbert) novel Chapter 268

Chapter 268 Shifting Blame

“If it weren’t for Lucas giving me a job, Gilbert here would probably have flipped my dinner table by now. With a record, I couldn’t find work anywhere. What do you think my end would be-starving by the roadside?

“Our noble Henry-would you be grateful to the people who ruined you?

“Or do you think I’m brain-dead? That I should beg for her forgiveness? Fine. I’m begging you right now-let Wendy off. Don’t send her to Zalari. Will you?”

Henry’s face went pale.

“You’re all shameless!” Sherry’s voice cut through like a blade. “Every single one of you.

“Why don’t you take a good look at yourselves? You’re shipping a woman off to Zalari, and you want me to feel guilty about it? Who the hell do you think you are?”

George grabbed the phone. “I’m the one who decided to send her. Got a problem with that?”

“Back off. I’m not talking to a psychopath.”

Sherry’s words set George off. “You calling me sick?” He hated that more than anything.

“You’re not sick-you’re brain-dead. Only a complete idiot would say something like that. What am I supposed to have an opinion on? You’re the ones shipping her out!

“If you want someone to blame, just say so. You want to keep your precious reputations? Fine. But be ready to be called shameless.

“You can’t have it both ways. Not unless your skin’s thick as a bunker.”

These words ripped open the darkest corner inside them, the part they ignored and thought they were righteous.

They didn’t expect it to sound so ugly when said out loud.

In their own minds, they hadn’t done anything wrong.

“Sherry, you twist everything. We ask one thing, you give us another. Just answer the question -don’t you bear some responsibility here?”
