Her Revenge Was His Regret (Shirley and Gilbert) novel Chapter 357

His company had fought so hard to get where it was. He couldn't let it all fall apart and ruin his reputation because of Sherry.

It was a huge company with hundreds of employees. He couldn't just let all those people lose their jobs.

Sherry should understand which mattered more. But if something really happened...

She'd only throw another fit, saying he chose others over her.

Just like that time he'd had to choose.

The scene was chaotic, with so many people around, and somehow she was the one who got kidnapped.

If she'd just come back with him when he told her to, she never would have been kidnapped.

It never crossed his mind that if he hadn't dragged her over to talk in the first place, she never would have been taken.

He was a man, after all. He couldn't be petty like some women.

"If you're that unhappy," he said, "I'll prove it to you. I'll fix every last thing that's upsetting you.

"I'll make you happy, no matter what it takes.

"And if I do? You have no right to ask them to get hurt the same way you did."

"Happy?" Sherry looked him up and down, several times over.

Her whole expression screamed that she didn't believe him for a second.

Gilbert felt a flash of anger. Fine, let other things slide—but she didn't even trust him with this?

"Let me tell you something," he snapped. "Even that pick-one-of-two mess you hate the most? It'll never happen again. And if it ever does? I'll do exactly what you want. You'll always come first. How about that?"

He'd already made up his mind to win Sherry back.

If she stayed with Lucas, it would only bring bigger jokes down the line.

There wouldn't be any more pick-one-of-two, anyway. He wasn't scared of anyone else.

Nothing like that would ever happen on his territory.

He spoke with complete confidence, staring at her like she had no choice but to believe him.

"I don't believe you," Sherry said, looking straight into his eyes, each word cold and final.

Like she didn't believe in him at all.

"What's that supposed to mean? You don't trust me, but you trust Lucas?"

He saw that Sherry didn't even look disgusted at the sound of that man's name.

He was practically furious now.

"Sherry! How can you treat me like this? Where's your conscience? I just gave you my word—"
