Her Revenge Was His Regret (Shirley and Gilbert) novel Chapter 313

Julia had spent ages thinking it over, and she'd finally landed on an explanation—Sherry was the reason Lucas kept targeting her.

"We're done eating."

Julia had just finished a long, elaborate explanation of her innocence. Sherry's response? She leaned against Lucas, patting her stomach. "I'm so full. Gonna gain weight now."

"Good. You need it. You're too thin." Lucas had heard Sherry's story—how Wendy's "medicine" had wrecked her health. "Stop pretending to be noble. I see exactly who you are through your sister. Sherry's condition is your family's doing."

He looked directly at Julia. "Since you and your sister are so close, you won't mind paying her debts, right?"

Pay for that idiot's mistakes?

The smile froze on Julia's face.

"Guess that was all talk." Lucas' expression said he understood perfectly.

Julia fell completely speechless, her mouth twitching for a moment. She decided to just take it as doing a good deed—after all, Wendy had indirectly completed her task.

"I'm not two-faced. I mean what I say. You've just been misunderstanding me all along."

Lucas slid the dirty dishes across the table toward her. "Then you can clean up. Consider it atonement."

Julia stared at him in disbelief. "I clean up?"

She hadn't eaten a single bite. And now she had to clean up the table for Sherry?

How could Sherry be so shameless? With her status, she wasn't even qualified to cook for Julia.

"I'd be happy to, of course. But I'm sure Ms. Campbell has some decency. She wouldn't actually let me—"

Sherry patted her shoulder, mimicking her tone perfectly. "Remember to wash by hand. Lucas doesn't like dishwashers."

Julia nearly smashed the dishes over Sherry's head.

This bitch. Not only making her clean up, but making her hand-wash them specifically?

Her hands were precious. Sherry's rough, working-class hands were meant for this.

But Lucas was watching. Julia swallowed her rage and forced a smile. "To show my sincerity, let me walk you downstairs and get you some water."

No way Sherry was staying in Lucas' room!
