Her Revenge Was His Regret (Shirley and Gilbert) novel Chapter 318

Irene's face went green.

Lucas actually laughed out loud.

Not his usual slight smile. A real laugh.

Sherry had noticed—when she wasn't around, or from an outsider's view, his expression was terrifyingly cold. But this? She'd never seen this.

It was bright as the sun, like he'd been possessed by something.

Still, he looked damn good. For once, he actually felt like a student. Spent too much time with him and she forgot how young he was.

But he'd given zero mercy.

The contrast made Irene look ridiculous.

Sure enough, her face went dark. Honestly, her control wasn't even as good as Julia's.

How did someone who survived that family war crack so easily? Probably because Lucas—who should've backed her—humiliated her instead.

But the crack only lasted a second. Then she recovered.

"So you understand the Harrisons now. Then you know what we're capable of."

Terrifying, really.

They were all her own children, yet she deliberately gave birth to so many just to make them turn on each other. There was no family love left at all.

She didn't care about her children's lives at all, not with so many of them. And knowing Lucas' story, some probably weren't even hers.

With that age gap between her and Victor, she clearly wasn't the first wife. She wouldn't care about anyone else's kids either.

Same went for Sherry.

It looked like she was only going to make more and more enemies.

Lucas watched her carefully. Anyone else would've backed down. People valued their lives. Especially against someone this powerful.

Sherry had more reason than most to be scared. She'd been hurt before. Her instinct would be to avoid more pain.

"You really think what you did was honorable? Even animals don't eat their young. What does that make you?"

If not for their pressure, Lucas wouldn't be leading this young.

His parents traveled constantly—one, to avoid Irene and Victor's manipulation; two, to prove they didn't need dozens of kids to keep the Harrison name strong.

They'd done enough. The elders had to see it.
