Chapter 85
Gilbert usually looked at strangers with that gaze, and now he looked at her with the same gaze.
A calm scrutiny, tinged with a chill.

Sherry felt a chill run down her spine. If Gilbert’s previous words were just angry words, now he truly believed she was also at fault.
So her previous feeling wasn’t wrong. Gilbert had indeed become just like those people.
“Yes. Gilbert, you were right. I was wrong.” She was terribly wrong.
Her mistake was that after witnessing the Campbells, she shouldn’t have trusted anyone anymore. She shouldn’t have believed Gilbert’s promise to always unconditionally believe her.
But Gilbert thought Sherry was afraid to confront him, that she realized her mistake, and that’s why she said that.
This was the Sherry he knew.
His tone softened. “Go apologize to Cathy properly. You know she’s upset after being wronged. Just be lenient with her. You know she’s kind-hearted and won’t make things difficult for you. Just bear with whatever she says.”
Sherry didn’t speak, conserving her remaining strength.
Gilbert assumed she agreed.
He helped her into the passenger seat and fastened her seatbelt, adding, “Don’t worry. No woman has ever sat in this passenger seat.”
They had a huge fight about this last time.
It’s just a seat. If Sherry didn’t like it, he wouldn’t let other women’sit there from now on.
He thought saying this would cheer Sherry up. Even if she didn’t praise him, she’d at least glance at him. But she simply closed her eyes.
Fine, she’d just woken up from a coma.
The next second, his car sped away at breakneck speed.
As they entered the police station, Gilbert gave her a final, worried reminder. “Cathy was bullied a lot before, so her personality became a bit extreme. But she’s still a good girl. Just bear with whatever she says later. She won’t say anything too outrageous. This is already a lesson for her. I believe she won’t dare to do it again.”
Won’t dare? Sherry didn’t believe it.
She didn’t know when it started, probably after Wendy came back, Cathy was no longer the girl she knew

She thought she was tough. After so many years of being arrogant in Seaseat City, no one dared to talk back to her.
Being questioned and interrogated made her incredibly irritable.
She suddenly felt wronged and burst into tears.
Gilbert felt very sorry for her. He always felt guilty towards Cathy, who had lost her family at such a young age. If he had been stronger back then, Cathy wouldn’t have suffered so much.
“I’ll take you home.” Then he pushed Sherry in front of her. “Sherry knows she was wrong. She came with me to pick you up.”
Cathy remembered that Sherry called the police. Her usual magnanimity in front of them was clearly fake. Cathy’s expression immediately changed. “Sherry! I said you would definitely come to pick me up!”
She thought Sherry would be scared and call the police to let her go halfway. But she was wrong.
Gilbert was a little confused.
Wasn’t Cathy always so respectful to Sherry? When did she become so rude? Perhaps it was because Sherry had really gone too far this time.
Gilbert wanted to say something to ease the tension.
With Gilbert being here, Cathy put her hands on her hips. “I can go back with you. But I have a condition. I believe Sherry knows.”
She said smugly, enunciating each word clearly, “You have to get on your knees and beg me. Otherwise, I won’t go back!”
Gilbert hadn’t expected Cathy to say something like that. “Cathy, what are you saying? She’s your sister-in- law!”
