Her Revenge Was His Regret (Shirley and Gilbert) novel Chapter 345

The rest of the pages were news about Gilbert and other people from Seaseat City.

They'd been kept because they were on the same page, piling up little by little, until they were clipped together.

Sherry had known there were files, but she never imagined they'd been preserved and placed right where Lucas could see them every single day.

In those records, she was described as the dumbest woman in the world.

They were Tyrone's observations and rumors from others—mostly stories about Wendy bullying her, about how weak and useless Sherry was.

But there wasn't much.

She guessed the files had been prepared for future cooperation between King City and Seaseat City, and Lucas had known about it long in advance.

At the back, there was handwriting from Lucas himself.

It even mentioned the dress Tyrone had helped her buy.

The one who'd actually paid for it was Lucas.

And the job posting? It had been directed straight at Seaseat City, just for her.

Lucas had turned down countless applicants, all waiting for someone uncertain.

He knew Sherry needed money.

But he wasn't sure if she would come.

Most women in her situation would have just felt sorry for themselves.

Staying home too long, they lost their courage to step out again.

That was why Lucas' parents complained he was too picky. He made every candidate cook and work—it was almost unreasonable.

Until Sherry actually arrived.

Lucas hadn't acted like he knew her that day.

But the last line he wrote was—

Light.

What did that mean?

If it were before, she might have thought she was his light.

But she couldn't forget the final photo she'd seen.

A selfie of Julia and Lucas, their heads pressed together like a couple.

And she was certain the photo wasn't fake.

She could see they were deeply in love. Their eyes were only for each other.

It wasn't overly intimate, and that hurt even more.

Because the love was obvious.

It was definitely Lucas and Julia.

Only now did she realize she'd dropped something in her shock earlier.

A glass had shattered all over the floor.

She'd immediately set everything aside to look for anything linking to Hector.

But deep down, she couldn't stop thinking about that photo.
