The Billionaire’s Regretful Obsession – Victoria Hale

Chapter 180 Desperation and Plots Chapter 180 Desperation and Plots "Julia! You said only cowards rush to get ahead," Wendy snapped. "Aren't you heading to the gala to cut in line too?!" "Gilbert made me go," Julia said, cool as a cucumber. "He wants me to network with more big shots so I can make a name for myself in King City. You really think your showing up there will do Splendor Group or the Bode family any good?" "No way..." Wendy mumbled, fumbling for her phone-her hands were shaking so bad she could barely keep a grip on it.

"I'm gonna ask Gilbert!" She dialed him up, her voice cracking. "Gilbert! Did Julia really steal the gala spot you promised me? How could you do this to me?" Deep down, she already knew it was true. She just couldn't believe Gilbert would treat her like this. Gilbert frowned on the other end. "Wendy, quit acting like a kid. Julia's better for this event. Splendor Group needs to get its name out there." "What about the Mack Group?" Wendy begged, desperation creeping into her voice. "It's just a branch under Splendor Group," Gilbert said flatly.

"If Splendor Group gets bigger, the Mack Group will too. We're in this together-for better or worse." A sensible person won't even ask that. Wendy is nothing compared to Julia-plain and simple. "You're all liars!" Wendy shrieked. "Julia only cares about herself! She wants to split from the Mack family and turn Splendor Group into her own little empire! I know her game! She wants to get rid of me and the Macks!" Julia would never work her tail off just to hand everything over to someone else. Not Wendy, not anyone in the Mack family. Too bad she'd figured that out way too late.

"Gilbert, if you keep coddling Julia like this," Wendy said, scraping the bottom of the barrel, "aren't you scared Sherry will actually divorce you?" She realized she couldn't touch Julia-not even a little. She'd never thought she'd end up using Sherry to take Julia down. Once, she'd thought Sherry didn't stand a snowball's chance against her. But now, bringing up Sherry was her only hope. Gilbert had realized last night that he hadn't heard a peep from Sherry in ages. He'd been swamped lately-he had a solid excuse. But Sherry? She was just a housewife and couldn't hold down a real job.

Even in King City, she had nothing to do. And 1/3 09:45 Wed, Jan 28 M 99 +30 Free Coins Chapter 180 Desperation and Plots she still hadn't called him! Is Sherry really not scared I'll dump her?She must still be naive, thinking all the little favors she's done for me will make me stay forever. To put it like Julia would.. She'd cooked and cleaned for him when he was down on his luck. And she thought that tiny bit of kindness meant he'd never leave her? It would've been different if Julia wasn't around. But compared to Julia? Sherry wasn't even worth the dirt under Julia's nails.

Who did she think she was, being so full of herself? Gilbert couldn't wait to see Sherry knocked down a peg or two. He wanted her to learn not to be so cocky. He wanted the gala to show Sherry once and for all that Julia was way out of her league. He didn't want her getting jealous over Julia and acting like a pain-just like Wendy, who'd gone from cute to totally annoying. Once Sherry realized she couldn't beat Julia, once her confidence was gone, they'd stop fighting. And he wouldn't have to deal with the mess. If Sherry would just know her place, he'd have a lot less stress.

Otherwise, what if the three women in his life started catfighting? It'd be a total disaster. But then again, Julia was super likable. Ever since she'd come back, everyone loved her-except Wendy, of course. After all, Julia never started fights. "You're just like Sherry," Gilbert said. "If you'd quit picking on Julia, none of this would've happened." Wendy couldn't believe what she was hearing. Julia was practically walking all over her! "Can't you see Julia's..." "Enough," Gilbert cut her off. "Sherry's already a hassle. Don't turn into her too. Quit learning the wrong stuff.

If you'd take notes from Julia, this never would've gone down." He hung up the phone and didn't even let her finish talking. Wendy was so mad she could've exploded. Think! I can't lose-not like this. Then, out of nowhere, she got an idea. She grabbed her phone again and dialed Sherry. 2/3 09:45 Wed, Jan 28 M (99 Chapter 180 Desperation and Plots "Sherry, living the good life over there, huh?" Wendy sneered. "Lost already?" Sherry asked, as calm as ever. Her words took Wendy right back to that day... The day she'd sworn up and down that Sherry was just stirring the pot.

+30 Free Coins Sherry had seen this coming, hadn't she? Wendy refused to believe Sherry had actually gotten smart. Sherry was just as dumb as she was-she just had that marriage certificate to back her up. That's the only reason she had the guts to act like that. "Sherry, you only beat me once. Wendy snapped. 'What's so great about that?" She hated Julia with every fiber of her being. Julia had ruined her chance to marry Gilbert. For now, that dream was totally on hold. She had no clue when she'd get another shot. admin
