Her Revenge Was His Regret (Shirley and Gilbert) novel Chapter 335

They were still grabbing each other as they fell.

Sherry stood where Julia had been moments before and laughed out loud.

The sarcasm in her eyes made both of them turn purple with shame.

Getting kicked like that was humiliating. Even their butts burned.

Worse still, they both realized their first instinct had been to save themselves.

Their darkest selfishness had been laid bare for everyone to see.

Sherry turned and left without a word.

Gilbert awkwardly helped Julia up.

In a life-or-death moment, choosing yourself was only human.

Julia forced a weak smile—this time, it was real. She had been truly terrified.

"It's okay, Gilbert. It was just instinct. I'm sure if you'd had time to think, you would have saved me."

Gilbert relaxed immediately.

"Instinct is just instinct. You're the only one who matters to me."

So understanding. So kind.

He compared her to Sherry—if Sherry had fallen, she would have thrown a fit for days.

Julia's mouth tightened for a second, then she said softly, "This isn't your fault. It's all Sherry's fault for trying to kill us both."

Yes. Everything was Sherry's fault, kicking them down like that.

How could she hurt him?

She must have learned it from Lucas—she'd lost all her kindness.

Not a single good thing left about her. Just selfish and cruel.

The two foolish bodyguards were still standing at the door.

"Where's Sherry? She—" He paused. "I'm not done with her! Take her to the Bode Manor. Let my mom deal with her!"

Sherry had talked back to Lore at home, but at the Bode Manor, she'd be scared. His uncles and aunts were there too.

They'd split up once, but now they'd all been brought back.

They knew exactly how to break her.

The bodyguards stared blankly. "Didn't Sherry go upstairs with you?"

"You didn't see her come down?!"

Of course they didn't. The rooms were all connected. She must have escaped through another exit.

She knew she was wrong and ran away.
