The Billionaire’s Regretful Obsession – Victoria Hale

Chapter 223 Blind Favoritism It was Gilbert-the very person they'd been talking about who could settle this mess. "Julia." Gilbert didn't even glance at the people around him. As soon as the door opened, his eyes were fixed on Julia, a smile on his lips. He walked straight toward her seat. A genuine smile. Not the usual look of rubbing his forehead or frowning. Sherry almost forgot-Gilbert was originally a very cold person. Heartless, even. She'd never seen him smile so brightly at anyone. Not even at Wendy.

Even though Gilbert doted on her, it was like how an adult spoiled a child-he'd look worried, but never as warm and bright as he did now. It was almost like he'd forgotten he was once a terrifying man-ever since Julia had appeared. Now, no one even called him cold anymore. Even at his company, and when he went other places, people said that Gilbert wasn't as unapproachable as everyone thought. He always had a smile on his face. Back then, Sherry had thought those women were delusional. She never realized it was just because she'd never seen this side of him.

On the other hand, there was Lucas-the man everyone said looked intimidating. Sherry had never found him scary. In fact, he was a really good man-kind and decent. She had no clue where these people got their impressions of him-they really had terrible judgment. But these people were all good at reading the room. As soon as they saw Gilbert's attitude, they knew Sherry was insignificant. She was standing right by the door-he couldn't miss her if he looked up as soon as he walked in. But he'd completely ignored her and headed straight for Julia.

It was clear Julia was the most important person in his heart. So important he couldn't even be bothered to glance at anyone else, 1/3 "Gilbert," Julia called softly, then gently punched Gilbert's arm. "Your wife is over there. If you don't go check on her, she'll blame me." "Did she target you again?" Gilbert asked, then followed Julia's gaze. "What are you doing here??" It would've been one thing if she'd gone to some ordinary social event. But this event-you didn't need to come unless you were a company employee or a businessman. Or... had Sherry taken a fancy to the clothes here?

"Sherry, so you've got some spare cash now, and you're acting like those vain girls-buying expensive, useless things. Typical. As soon as no one's watching you, you go bad." "Are you talking about Julia? She's the one who bought the most here." move Gilbert at all. erry's words didn't "It's not the same! Julia has work everywhere-she needs to attend all kinds of events. What about you? I heard you even took a maid-like job at Mr. Harrison's company to stay there. Do you really think you're worthy of wearing these things?" He'd clearly investigated her job-but not very thoroughly.

He must have only found out she'd gone there as a tutor. "So you're saying all the wealthy housewives who stay at home can only wear loungewear? Are you dismissing all stay-at-home wealthy wives as maids? Do you think all men treat their wives like maids, just like you do?" If he'd said that out loud, he would've offended every wealthy housewife in the room. Gilbert bit back his words. Since when has Sherry started laying verbal traps? But this growth was a good thing-at least, to outsiders, it didn't look like he'd married a fool. But as soon as the thought crossed his mind, Julia spoke up.

"Gilbert, it's my fault today. After Sherry hit me last time, I've been speaking a bit sarcastically. "But I really had no idea Sherry used your ticket to get in." "Sherry used what? You mean a ticket here? Didn't I give you one? I have the other one right here." 2/3 Julia looked like she was afraid to say more. "Then I don't know how Ms. Campbell got in. All I know is she's sitting in a seat someone paid for-and now that person is here to confront her." "Your wife is really something-stealing someone's ticket to get in. I guess you're right-she's become vain, craving famous brands.

But she doesn't have the money, so she's using her status as Mrs. Bode to steal someone's seat." George hated Gilbert-they were rivals, and he was closer to Julia.. But right now, he was doing his best to embarrass Sherry. 9 M 3/3 admin
