When he heard she had walked all that way, Gilbert only felt more sorry for her.
"Don't worry. I'll get you home. The king crab you wanted last time? It just arrived by air."
Julia lit up at the mention of good food.
Her Facebook was filled with expensive meals every day.
Even in the luxury-obsessed celebrity circle, she thought everyone else was beneath her. They were just jealous.
They might have money and connections, but could they get what she had?
They slept with old, bald, fat executives and begged for favors.
She never had to.
Not when she had Gilbert behind her.
He smirked, eyes flashing with mockery.
But without a car, they had no choice but to order a ride. Shockingly, no one accepted their request.
Gilbert immediately raised the fare by ten times, hoping to tempt someone.
But the price was so high that people were suspicious.
They thought it must be a trap from criminals or someone mentally unstable.
Who would pay that much, especially to a remote area rumored to have fugitives?
No one dared to take the job.
Only cheap vans and old cars were willing. But Julia kept complaining.
She insisted on a luxury car, saying she was too delicate for ordinary vehicles and would get carsick. She even named specific high-end models.
But who would drive a luxury car out here in the middle of the night?
They started walking, hoping a ride would accept while they were on the move.
By dawn, they'd walked the entire night.
All four of them looked sick and exhausted.
When they finally saw a taxi on the side of the road, Julia didn't dare complain anymore.
She got in with no fuss—and didn't get carsick at all. She just passed out cold.
The two bodyguards had been hired to protect them.
Until now, all they'd heard was Gilbert and Julia badmouthing Sherry. They'd assumed Sherry was terrible.
But seeing Julia now—suddenly fine with a normal taxi, sleeping like a log—they saw right through her.
She was just acting.
