Her Revenge Was His Regret (Shirley and Gilbert) novel Chapter 431

This crowd really thought they were something—there was no chance they didn't know exactly who Julia was, yet they still had the nerve to trick her into coming back. She couldn't imagine what kind of schemes they'd pulled to make that happen.

If someone as sharp as Julia could be played like that by them, what hope did someone like her—a stay-at-home mom with no real connections or support system—have?

Sure, you could argue they weren't directly responsible—after all, every move Julia made was her own choice. They'd only asked her to return.

Sherry couldn't even pin down who to blame.

"The ones who dragged Julia into this and got her to come back weren't the same people cozying up to the White family. But one thing's true—they answered to me."

Answered to me.

That phrasing struck her as odd. At most, you'd call them associates or people from the company, not my people.

"I've built my own influence here in Keiperian too. Personal—just mine."

Sherry was stunned.

"You were already stretched thin running your businesses back in Virelia, and you're telling me you set up your own network here? On your own? When did you even have the time?"

It was hard to believe. No wonder those people looked down on her.

"So you're trying to break away from the White family...

"Do they even know about your ties to the Whites..."

He was clearly pushing to free himself from the Whites. Those people were so desperate to tie themselves to the family—anyone would get sick of it.

And let's not forget the disgusting tactics the White family used.

It seemed like they rose to power by holding favors over people's heads. Was it really that simple? Or was Lucas' reach here not strong enough to match them?

What was the White family really like?

Why did everything keep getting more tangled?

There were too many questions swirling in her head.

"I was worried you wouldn't be able to take in too much at once, so most of the time I only gave you part of the story—not everything.

"Do you remember the man in the photo with Julia?"

How could she forget? The one who looked just like Lucas.

"I told you back then—that wasn't me. The Harrison family doesn't have twins.
