Her Revenge Was His Regret (Shirley and Gilbert) novel Chapter 423

"You must have said something to her!"

"I did. I told her to jump."

"Damn it!" Ivy roared and lunged straight for Sherry.

It was the same scenario all over again.

The last time someone had attacked her like this was when Wendy had lied and said Sherry had broken her parents' only precious heirloom.

But Sherry had known the truth. The bracelet wasn't an heirloom at all—Wendy had posted about it on Facebook just days earlier, bragging that Gilbert had given her money to buy whatever she wanted.

Sherry had thought it looked old-fashioned then.

She'd found out why when Wendy hit her.

She'd tried to dodge that time, but Gilbert had held her still, letting Wendy beat her until she was satisfied.

This time, though, Lucas stepped in and shoved Ivy away before she could lay a finger on Sherry.

His strength was overwhelming.

Ivy stumbled back into someone's arms, her eyes wide with disbelief. "She tried to kill Selena, and you're stopping me?!"

"Would you rather end up like her, lying in that operating room?" Lucas' expression was unreadable, giving nothing away.

"What do you mean, boss?" Ivy looked up at him, fondness and deep respect in her gaze. If anyone else had spoken to her like that, she would have screamed back.

"I mean if you lay a hand on her, you'll only hurt yourself. Did you see Sherry push her? Do you have any proof?"

"But she admitted she—"

"Admitted she said something. That's not proof."

"Then why is Selena lying downstairs? Do you even get it? She was in a pool of blood. Who knows how long until I found her? If I'd been any later, she would've died! How can you say this has nothing to do with you?!"

Sherry remained completely calm. "Why would it? I left with my coffee. I have no idea what she did after. Whether she jumped or not is none of my business.

"If you're that upset, call the cops. There are security cameras everywhere. I'm not worried."

Tears streamed down Ivy's face. "See, boss?! She's heartless! She's not even human!"

"Shut up before I toss you in there too. You're the loudest one in this whole hospital.
