Her Revenge Was His Regret (Shirley and Gilbert) novel Chapter 342

Human nature.

No one stays lucky forever.

If you fall from power, the people who came for your money will be the first to run.

People who truly care never get the love they deserve.

Yelena wiped her tears. "I promise. I'll find someone better."

Anne snickered behind them.

While Hector went to get the car, she stepped closer.

"Stop pretending. You know whether you're really over him or not."

She turned to Yelena. "Julia said, if you betray Sherry and work with us, Hector can still be yours."

"I will never betray Sherry!" Yelena shot back immediately.

Anne's smile turned cold. "Too bad, then."

She touched her stomach. "I went for a checkup recently. It's about time I had a baby, right? Guess what the doctor said? I'm extremely fertile."

Juan frowned. "What are you so proud of? Hector already said he'll marry a proper woman. Your kid would just be a bastard."

Anne didn't care. She mocked Juan's naivety. "Kings never loved their queens. The queen's just a figurehead—some unloved, forgotten woman. She tells herself she's the real wife, that the money is enough. But inside, she's dying.

"She brainwashes herself until she believes she doesn't care.

"The one who gets everything is the favorite one. The queen doesn't get that. She thinks her title keeps everything hers—the man, the money... even the kids. But none of it is real.

"And you know what women like her say? 'All men are the same. Marriage is just closing one eye.'

"Or 'I'm staying for the kids.' Please. They're just too scared to leave. Look at those who divorce with kids—aren't they just living like that? They simply don't have the guts to walk away. To be blunt, they still love the guy and can't cut loose.

"They're worse than side chicks like me."

Her words were designed to twist the mind.

Yelena's face stiffened visibly.

Once, Sherry would have fallen into the trap of proving herself.

Not anymore.

"By your logic," Sherry said evenly, "you're attacking wives because you can't be one yourself, right?"

Sherry looked at her and stepped closer, one step at a time.
