Her Revenge Was His Regret (Shirley and Gilbert) novel Chapter 298

It would ruin Julia's chance to be with Lucas.

Stopping Sherry now, while she was confused—that was the move. Before she realized she actually had feelings for Lucas.

That way, Julia would get what she wanted—Lucas.

And Sherry would stay with Gilbert. They were married after all.

That would be best for everyone.

Then Kurt could face anyone with a clean conscience.

"I'm right, aren't I? Lucas ever actually tell you he knew you first?"

Sherry's eyes flickered. It was obvious she didn't know.

Maybe Lucas had never told her about his past with Julia.

"Looks like there's history there. I heard Lucas goes out of his way to target Julia. And I know him.

"He's cold to everyone. Looks at everyone the same. If you're sensitive, you can't even meet his eyes. You'd be terrified."

Kurt was Lucas' age. They'd gone to the same school.

He'd never thought he was inferior to Lucas.

The Granger family was one of the four rising families.

Compared to the Harrisons' decline—Lucas was an only child, his parents' sole heir, the Grangers were a whole clan. Kurt had six older siblings, and everyone called them the Seven Brothers.

They dominated every industry. Sure, they fought each other constantly, but whoever survived that infighting would be stronger than Lucas.

Surpassing the Harrisons? Inevitable.

That's why Lucas' grandparents had rushed back from overseas.

His parents dreaded the two of them showing up, nagging them to have more kids, and droning on about family legacy meaning plenty of heirs.

"Name one rich, top-tier family that only has one kid?

"Even if they only have one in public, how many do they have behind the scenes? You think you know?

"Being few means you're easy pickings."

That's what Kurt believed—until he stood face to face with Lucas at school.

In that whole school, only the two of them could be rivals.

But Lucas' eyes? They didn't even see him, like Kurt wasn't worth noticing.
