Her Revenge Was His Regret (Shirley and Gilbert) novel Chapter 274

Chapter 274 The Investigation

He’d already moved into another league entirely and turned into a corporate shark, and this man never paid attention to other women.

Even now, when people tried to cozy up to him through familiar connections, his standard response was some variation of “Who are you?”

Forget getting to know someone personally. Unless they were relevant to business or partnerships, they didn’t exist to him.

The crowd’s suspicion made sense. Even Sherry felt it—something off about this, though she couldn’t name it.

He knew Julia too much. He’d learned about Sherry by accident-Tyrone had mixed her file in with other documents.

But Julia? There was no clear explanation for that.

Lately, any background checks crossed her desk.

She’d never seen a file on Julia.

Two possibilities.

First, someone else handled it, so Sherry never saw it.

Second, he’d investigated Julia a long time ago, so he already knew.

“If you put it that way, yeah, I did look into you.”

Lucas either said nothing, or he spoke the truth.

With his status, standing, and confidence, he had no reason to lie at all-unless he chose to.

Julia’s eyes lit up with confidence. “I heard the Harrison Group has no business in Keiperian. So the only way you could know me is if you’d been watching me. I just didn’t realize you’d noticed me that early on.”

She even managed a shy blush.

Something twisted in Sherry’s chest. It felt bad, and she didn’t even have the right to butt into other people’s business.

“I am curious about a few things about you-especially Mr. Miller’s death,” Lucas said.

No woman wanted to hear the man she was pursuing bring up her dead husband.

“I’ve already said I’ll make a statement about that when the time is right.” Julia’s composure cracked. The flirtatious energy died.

“Maybe next time we could meet at home?”

Julia held her expression steady and smiled, eyes turning into crescent moons.

She turned and left before either could respond.
