The Billionaire’s Regretful Obsession – Victoria Hale

Chapter 234 Different Paths Gilbert's expression gradually softened. Julia was a woman, after all, and eight or nine out of ten things she'd said were true. Still, even though there was a trace of regret in his heart, he felt a little annoyed. All this fuss was just the tantrum of Sherry. He'd said Sherry wasn't presentable, and she'd gotten upset. She just had to keep running around, seeking attention. "So what do you think we should do?" Gilbert asked, pretending not to care. Julia glanced at Gilbert. Could it be he still has feelings for Sherry? But it was easy to manipulate Gilbert.

Julia seemed to have figured out why Lucas was targeting her. No one hated someone for no reason-there had to be a cause. She had to keep a certain distance from Gilbert, but she would never let go of this pawn. After all, she wasn't like those stupid women who blocked all their own paths. Gilbert was excellent, but there were even more outstanding people in King City. She wouldn't truly fall for any of them until she figured out their true backgrounds. Lucas was just one of them; she was really that sad about his rejection. But she was determined to get the Harrison family's resources.

"We should lay low from now on. At least don't be seen together all the time in public, but privately, we'll still be just like we used to be. "We can't let these ridiculous prejudices stop us from being friends, can we?" Gilbert helped Julia into the car, settling her firmly in the passenger seat. "Good girl, don't worry. Wendy and Sherry will understand your kindness sooner or later." He shook his head. It was just a passenger seat. If he couldn't even let his savior sit in this seat and had to care about others' opinions, what kind of man was he?

As a man, he could never let a woman dictate everything. Most women were driven by emotions, and they did a lot of irrational things because of them. 1/3 Once, he'd argued with his family, saying how great this kind of love was-that true feelings. should be like this. Back then, he'd looked forward to finding someone he loved and marrying her. When he'd married Sherry, he hadn't even answered his mother's calls. Their relationship had been bad back then, and she'd firmly opposed the marriage. In the end, he'd ignored Lore and married Sherry anyway.

Looking back now, if the Bodes had still been around, Sherry probably would never have truly married into the Bode family. He thought that Sherry would have been treated the same way in the Harrison family-maybe even worse than she was with him! But Sherry hadn't been grateful either. She'd accused him of being ungrateful, but she was just as ungrateful! All the things the Bodes had taught him-he'd finally understood them now that he was older. Everything the Bodes had said was right. ***** Sherry linked her arm through Lucas's, walking through the crowd with calm elegance.

She Sherry linked her arm answered everyone's questions smoothly, even giving many useful suggestions. Of course, she also added a lot of reliable partners, planning to promote the brand nationwide. Her brand was different from Julia's Angel. Angel Shop only catered to high-end clients. Because for rich people, if something was known by everyone, it meant it had depreciated. For example, when a luxury mansion was discovered and became public knowledge-that's when it lost its value. But this also limited many people. Because besides Angel, they had no other brand to buy formal wear from.

It meant that anyone who offended Angel would have no formal clothes to wear in the future. If someone was seen wearing a brand other than Angel at an event, it meant they'd offended Angel. It was like holding the power of life and death over others. People cursed silently, but dared not let anyone know. They were helpless, with no way out. 2/3 No one dared to offend Angel! Julia should have been the happiest person. What she enjoyed most was having people hate her but be unable to do anything about it- holding everyone's fate in her own hands. Kick out anyone who didn't obey.

This kind of monopoly-Sherry was going to break it directly. Actually, Sherry hadn't wanted to do this. But Julia had given her the idea. Sherry would do exactly what Julia wanted-target her directly. Before getting in the car, Sherry pulled on Lucas's sleeve, feeling her face burning. "I think we should resign the contract. Thirty percent is really too much. It will displease the entire Harrison Group." Lucas placed his hand on the doorframe, helping Sherry sit down and fastening her seatbelt for her.

As he fastened her seatbelt, Sherry could clearly see his long, thick eyelashes and his high nose bridge, which curved perfectly like a slide. Sherry thought that Lucas's face was like a perfect sculpture crafted by God. Up close, she couldn't find a single flaw. 3/3 admin
