Her Revenge Was His Regret (Shirley and Gilbert) novel Chapter 282

What was his reason?

He was afraid of his precious first love being labeled the other woman. He was terrified people would suspect their divorce was caused by a third party.

The moment they divorced, those rumors would start.

So, was Gilbert planning to trap her in this marriage forever?

All for Julia's reputation?

And since when did Yelena get married? What the hell was going on?

Hector, that guy who looked like a total playboy, wasn't the type Yelena would ever go for.

But Yelena's expression...

They were almost out of time!

"I don't want anything. Not a single penny. I'll even pay back every cent I ever spent on him. Even if I have to do that, I still want the divorce!"

Adam adjusted his glasses. "Plans change. If they're setting a trap, they're going all in."

His words rang true immediately. Just as the hearing was about to resume, the doors opened.

Everyone recognized Hector's face the moment he walked in, and their gossip-hungry eyes lit up instantly.

Hector's gaze swept the room until it landed on Yelena.

"Yelena, you remember what I told you before. This time, it's your—"

Before Hector could finish his sentence, Yelena suddenly screamed and bolted out of the room like a madwoman.

Sherry's face went pale with fear. So Yelena really did know this guy. Terrified something had happened to her friend, she ran after her.

"Yelena, wait, listen to me, it's not what you think..."

The moment Sherry grabbed her arm, Yelena shoved her away, and Sherry fell hard to the floor.

At that moment, Sherry was genuinely panicked. Her worst fear was coming true.

She had expected Julia to target Lucas. After all, with Julia's personality, she looked down on Sherry's friends.

Didn't matter how capable they were; in Julia's eyes, they were just working-class nobodies who couldn't amount to anything. She wouldn't even bother with them.

Even if Julia were desperate, Sherry thought she'd go after Max and the others, since they were so close to Lucas.

They were all potential targets. It never, ever occurred to her that the target would be Yelena.

And when did she even get married?

Sherry had always respected Yelena's privacy, knowing she hated having her personal life put on display.

She respected that. If Yelena didn't want to talk about something, Sherry wouldn't pry. When they'd talked about Gilbert, if Yelena had wanted to share her own story, she would have.
