Her Revenge Was His Regret (Shirley and Gilbert) novel Chapter 270

Chapter 270 The One Going Viral

Julia had been counting on this wave of attention. Her movie was hitting major theaters these two days, and she imagined people would watch and feel for her.

But even with Wendy shipped off to Zalari, sure, people were watching-but the commentary wasn’t exactly pro-Julia.

If anything, Wendy’s name was trending harder than Julia’s.

Every other comment was some variation of: “Bet our girl Wendy’s already grazing on the Zalari savannah right now.”

“Julia is the most beautiful actress I’ve ever seen”-that got buried in seconds.

A new meme was born.

“Your second female lead? Cute. Ours is in Zalari. Permanently.”

Brutal. Absolutely brutal.

Box office numbers were solid-impressive for a newcomer, actually. But Julia wasn’t happy.

She wasn’t the one going viral.

And she still had to smile through industry events, accept compliments that felt hollow, wondering if everyone was secretly laughing at her.

But the game demanded appearances. Until one night, at some industry thing, she spotted

Lucas.

Her heart lifted. If he’d wanted to avoid her, they’d never cross paths, same industry or not.

Lucas could make himself invisible if he chose.

These days, because of the movie, she’d been run ragged and humiliated. In the rawest, most miserable stretch of her heart, she saw Lucas.

Didn’t that say it all? Either he wasn’t as hostile as she’d imagined from the start, or he felt for a young woman struggling, so he showed up.

So she smoothed her dress and approached.

“Mr. Harrison—”

She didn’t get to finish.

Another woman appeared. That wasn’t the problem. The problem was…

Lucas’ eyes slid right past Julia like she wasn’t there and didn’t even acknowledge her half- finished sentence.

She didn’t want to believe it, but the truth was obvious-someone more important had arrived.

So he had zero interest in hearing Julia out.
