Her Revenge Was His Regret (Shirley and Gilbert) novel Chapter 302

If she were Sherry, then if she still had any dignity, she'd crawl away and hide. If she had none, she'd just go hang herself.

The last thing Julia expected was to get caught by Lucas.

Opportunities like that didn't come around twice.

Julia stared at Lucas and said, "Have I really done that many things to make you hate me? Why do you have to come after me like this?"

"Your existence is pretty annoying." Lucas didn't even try to hide it.

Julia clearly didn't believe him. "Is it... love turned into hate?"

For the first time, Lucas' usually expressionless face shifted into something...indescribable. But the look in his eyes basically called her delusional.

But Julia wasn't buying it. "If that's not it, then tell me why you're so set against me. Like you can't stand anything about me.

"I've heard that's how guys in school treat the girls they like."

She had to know why!

"You know exactly why I'm after you." Lucas didn't bother denying he was targeting her.

Julia's mind raced, searching for answers. But nothing came.

But if she didn't speak up, she'd only feel stupid. How could there be something not even she understood?

What had she possibly done to offend him?

She wanted to ask but was afraid he'd think she was stupid.

What was the reason?

Before she could figure it out, the police arrived.

Yep—Lucas had called the cops. Finding stuff like that in a hotel room made everyone wonder if their own rooms were compromised.

Soon, the entire hotel chain was under investigation. The place was in total chaos.

And Julia, as the person in charge, got taken away too.

The news exploded online, and of course, Lucas had a hand in that. He bought trending topics openly.

But here he was, posting. Last time was... well, last time. And it vanished just as fast.

This time, Lucas' words were all about Sherry, "When you say that, Gilbert, did you ever worry this much when your own wife was locked up?"

Gilbert's face went dark. This was a battle between them, and clearly, he was losing. "What does this have to do with Sherry?

"The one suffering in that cell right now is Julia! She's the one going through hell!

"Sure, Julia married Mr. Miller. But she's never struggled a day in her life. Not like Sherry. Of course I'm worried."

Gilbert thought he was making perfect sense. Some people just needed more protection.

Lucas shot back, "It has everything to do with Sherry. Those cameras were found in her room. Even the bathroom. You know what would've happened if they'd caught anything. And you're worried about Julia?

"Maybe you should worry about what would've happened to your own wife if she'd been filmed."

That hit home for everyone watching online. Any woman would be terrified. Even if you caught the person behind it, the fear of being watched, of not knowing—that stays with you.

The world kept moving forward, but it still wasn't kind to women.
