Her Revenge Was His Regret (Shirley and Gilbert) novel Chapter 360

"You mean all of this is Sherry's fault?"

"Worse. She's faking it," Gilbert said, as if he knew everything. "She has a hundred ways to pull herself up. If she actually falls, I'll eat my words."

He spat one last word.

"Acting."

In the middle of a life-or-death situation, he called Sherry a liar.

How could he not be suspicious?

He'd just promised to choose Sherry—but not if she was playing dirty tricks.

It was unforgivable.

If it had been anyone else, he might have played along.

But she had no right to use Julia like this.

He couldn't stand to see Julia hurt, not even a little. And she was using Julia's greatest fear against her.

Sherry had crossed a line.

His promise no longer meant anything.

She deserved what was coming to her.

He didn't believe for a second that Sherry was actually in danger.

Julia thought the same.

Sherry had punched out a full-grown man with one hit. She had more than enough strength to climb up.

At most, she'd fall in the water, crawl back soaking wet, and let them mock her.

She'd overheard them talking, and Gilbert really was exactly as she imagined—he even wanted to make peace with Sherry.

That little witch Sherry had learned to retreat to advance, acting like she didn't care about Gilbert.

It was the oldest move in the book for hooking a man. If he thought she was losing interest, he'd only chase harder.

Sherry was clearly copying her.

Too bad she was the original. She saw right through Sherry's act. Sherry didn't stand a chance against her.

But then...

Splash.

Sherry was gone.

No one could see her anywhere on the boat.

Everyone's eyes widened in shock. None of them had thought she would really fall.
