Her Revenge Was His Regret (Shirley and Gilbert) novel Chapter 412

"And what do people really think of her?"

Heather stared at Julia's smug expression, suspicion creeping in. "Scarlett? Who even is that? I've never heard of her. Don't tell me you're the one they're talking about."

Julia smiled faintly, a dangerous glint in her eye. "I show you respect because you're a Harrison, Heather. Otherwise... you'll find out exactly what happened to Sherry."

Her threat startled Heather.

She was the type to bully the weak but fear the strong, and Julia seemed far too confident. She had come back from Keiperian, after all, and rumors had spread when she first arrived.

People said she'd saved several important figures, especially top businessmen in Seaseat City. She had clout there, and even some connections in King City.

Could it be true?

Did she really have powerful connections in Keiperian?

Heather wasn't smart enough to figure it out, but she refused to back down. "Do whatever you want. Being big in Keiperian doesn't mean anything here.

"The Harrisons don't run business in Keiperian. If you want to marry into our family, you need influence right here. What you have over there means nothing—your reach doesn't stretch this far."

She was right, in a way.

Connections here were deeply tangled and discreet, full of hidden power. One wrong move could anger someone untouchable, leaving her unable to stay here.

And more importantly, she'd come back largely because that man was here too.

Gilbert alone would never have been enough to pull her home.

What infuriated her was that she still had no information on that man—not even his alias or name in this country.

Heather turned and opened the gate to go inside. Julia put on a calm air but followed quickly.

It wasn't that she hadn't tried to visit before. She'd once planned to confront Sherry and kick her out of the house.

Why should Sherry live in a home she couldn't even enter?

She was determined to drive Sherry away.

But the house had been empty and dark. Worse, she didn't know the gate code and couldn't get in at all.

She'd been too nice before, and now everyone thought she was a pushover.

She scanned every room.

No one was there.

Last night? Heather eyed Julia suspiciously.
