Her Revenge Was His Regret (Shirley and Gilbert) novel Chapter 359

"Upset? You wish," Julia sneered. "You haven't even seen 10% of what I'm capable of."

She acted like Sherry was already defeated before she'd even tried.

"Doesn't look that way to me. You're clearly desperate. Nice act, though."

Sherry couldn't pinpoint why, but Julia seemed on edge.

Someone who always thought she'd win didn't act this anxious—not unless something was wrong.

"Shut up!" George roared. "Julia's nothing like your loud, petty self. She's a queen who stays in control, no matter what."

"Stop wasting your breath on her," Cathy said, grinning coldly at Sherry. "Some people don't deserve to live. The sooner they die, the better for everyone."

Sherry stepped back, putting distance between Yelena and the group.

These people meant trouble. She couldn't let Yelena get hurt.

Sure enough, George charged at her an instant later. Sherry punched him straight in the face.

Once, she'd been terrified of George—unpredictable, violent, ruthless.

She never thought she could hit him so easily.

The force twisted his face, and everyone froze in shock.

No one had expected Sherry to be that strong. They'd thought her fighting was just a bluff.

George collapsed, knocked out cold.

But then the floor under Sherry gave way, like the deck had rotted through.

She lost her balance and fell toward the lake.

All around her, people shouted Julia's name in unison.

Yelena's cry for Sherry was drowned out by the noise.

In the next second, Julia fell into the water ahead of Sherry.

"Julia!"

Gilbert's voice cut through the chaos.

"Gilbert!" Cathy cried out in fake panic. "Sherry knocked George out and tried to throw Julia in! When she saw you coming, she jumped on purpose!"

Julia clung to the railing. With a small twist of her leg, she could easily pull herself back onto the deck without a scratch.

Sherry, though, was in real danger. She gripped the edge weakly; if she let go, she would plunge into the cold lake.

Yelena leaned far over the side, straining to reach her, but she couldn't pull Sherry up.
