The Billionaire’s Regretful Obsession – Victoria Hale

Chapter 192 Lucas Puts Her in Her Place "But Julia had a point about needing her okay, right? After all, the dress is in her cabinet at Angel Shop." Julia didn't design it, but it was in her space now. ulia's words actually checked out. But Lucas didn't let them defend her. "The reason it's at Angel is because my mom has shares in the company. "But this is the first I'm hearing that you're the one calling the shots for Angel now." Lucas really didn't know. If he had, he wouldn't have second-guessed Julia's story earlier. Julia's light brown eyes widened a little, surprised. "So Ms.

Ford is your mom?" Everyone usually called her "Mrs. Harrison". If you didn't know her well, you could barely remember her first name-let alone say it right. After all, the Harrison family-including the couple-were all something else. You barely ever saw them because they turned down every event they could. Then they'd travel the world. Traveling wasn't the annoying part. The annoying part was that every time they came back, they brought a new project with them. Every single project made bank. By the time you got started on one project, they were already onto the next.

People even wondered if they themselves knew how many projects they had. So when Lucas said that, everyone's face showed a flicker of shock, followed by the quiet realization that it all added up. See? Angel Shop was a hit; it totally made sense it was tied to the Harrison family. "I had no idea about this connection. I overstepped, for sure. Ms. Ford is super important to Angel. I've always looked up to her." Julia's words were obviously another way to cozy up to Lucas. Only someone with a thick skin could keep pulling this stuff.

1/3 Sherry suddenly thought-were people actually impressed by how thick Julia's skin was? Thankfully, after explaining, Lucas didn't want anything to do with Julia. He even turned to Sherry, looking helpless, and said, "My mom never wanted anyone to know about this. She told everyone she quit designing for good. "If her friends found out she's connected to Angel, they'd hound her nonstop to design dresses for them." To be honest, the dress was stunning. It was a style that would never go out of style, no matter how many years passed. But Lucas saying this here meant more than that.

It was clear he was ticked off. Because Julia had kept using that flirty tone to make it seem like they were close. But it also showed he'd rather expose his mom to her friends' pestering than be linked to Julia at all. At that moment, even the onlookers felt bad for Julia. How much did he dislike her to throw her under the bus like that? Gilbert walked over and stood behind Julia. He started chewing Lucas out. "Mr. Harrison, is it cool to pick on a girl like this? "She's just insecure. She just got back from abroad. She went through some terrible stuff here before.

"But she trusted your character, so she wanted to get close to you. It's like a hurt kitten trying to get warm. Do you really have to be such a jerk about it?" Julia tugged on Gilbert's sleeve. She looked exactly like someone who'd been dumped. This made everyone suddenly remember the stuff that was all over the internet. But back then, they were just watching from the sidelines. They thought they'd never meet people like Sherry or Julia in real life. So they didn't pay much mind to it. But they still remembered-Julia's whole family fell off a cliff.

She and Gilbert, who were just kids back then, were backed into a corner. They were almost out of options. 2/3 After Gilbert said that, making it sound like she had such deep emotional scars, it made sense she'd want someone to lean on. After all, the Harrison family was solid. They seemed really trustworthy. Either way, letting such a beautiful woman lean on you wasn't a bad thing. What happened today wasn't that big of a deal. They could just laugh it off. "You're right, I don't have to," Lucas said. "But I want to.

And you don't get to make other people pay you back for favors you think you're owed. "There are way more people in this world worse off than her. Do I have to go easy on all of them? Being weak doesn't make you right. If you want to repay Julia, that's your problem. Don't ask the rest of us to put up with her." After he said that, he grabbed Sherry's hand and left, while everyone around them cracked up. Only Gilbert's angry voice was left behind. "What's your problem? Why'd you say all that? Is it fun to pick on a girl?" Shouldn't men protect the weak?Julia has been through so much.

Fine, you can ignore her. But you honestly think I didn't pick up on the fact that you were throwing shade at me forSherry? 3/3 admin
