Her Revenge Was His Regret (Shirley and Gilbert) novel Chapter 377

"And a maid having a child? That would be a scandal no one could cover up."

Julia was growing more triumphant by the second.

"You've used this against me for years. Now you have no leg to stand on. How dare you call me a homewrecker?

"You don't have the right anymore. You owe me an apology.

"I've been called names by a maid for years. I'm the one who was wronged!"

Sherry felt like Gilbert had pushed her straight into the dirt.

And he didn't even deny it. He just stood there, letting it happen.

"Sherry," Gilbert said coldly, "if you give the VIP room to Julia, I'll bury everything I hid for you before—and whatever embarrassment you've caused today. No one will ever mention it again."

Julia thought this was an excellent deal, because she'd learned the truth.

So Gilbert had never cared about Sherry at all. She'd been a fool to think otherwise.

Sherry was nothing. She hadn't even reached the bottom of his heart, let alone touched it.

Her life was just one big joke.

And this secret—sure, it traded for a room today, but if she wanted to threaten Sherry later, it wouldn't stop at a single room.

A secret this big cost her too much to just let go.

Sherry was dreaming if she thought it was over.

From now on, whenever she wanted, she could bring this up. Gilbert only said he wouldn't let others know—he didn't say she couldn't threaten Sherry with it.

She'd twist the knife as much as she wanted. Let Sherry hate her, but be completely helpless.

Wendy was already chuckling to herself.

Then her smile died.

"Scumbag."

Lucas' voice was low and dangerous.

Still carrying Sherry on his back, he drove one long leg straight into Gilbert's stomach.

If they weren't in a hospital, if Sherry weren't in his arms, he would have made Gilbert regret being born.

Gilbert doubled over in pain.

Julia rushed to him, then turned to Lucas, eyes blazing. "Do you think my reputation, my future—everything—means less than her little cold?

"A woman's reputation is everything. It's her life!

"My life isn't worth—"
