The Billionaire’s Regretful Obsession – Victoria Hale

Chapter 24 The Deleted Evidence 60 +10 Free Coins For Tyrone's information network, getting the Campbell family's number was a piece of cake. But the moment he called and mentioned Sherry, he got yelled at. Sherry's mother, Claire, heard Sherry was hospitalized and sighed with clear annoyance. "Why can't Sherry be more like Teresa and stop causing trouble? She's young-what's she doing in the hospital? Is she trying to say the genes from me and her father made her weak? "Tell Sherry to stop pretending. We see what she's doing. No more drama!" She hung up. Tyrone was speechless.

For a moment, he doubted his sources. Was this really how a mother spoke about her own daughter? Too young to be in the hospital? Being hospitalized meant she was faking it? At some point, Sherry in the bed woke up. Tyrone quickly put his phone away. If she heard her family say those things, it would break her heart. "I'll sign it myself. It's just a minor appendectomy." Seeing how calm Sherry was, Tyrone realized this wasn't new to her. She'd faced worse before. Something thoughtful flickered in Tyrone's clear eyes.

***** After comforting Wendy to sleep, Gilbert looked at the ten surveillance clips that had just arrived-exactly ten, not one less. It was as if mocking him for being unable to judge people correctly. Scott glanced at Gilbert's tense expression. "Should I open them?" Gilbert didn't know why, but he felt like texting Sherry. Back in the cafeteria, the look on Sherry's face-the way her disappointment turned to ice-had stayed with him. He sent her a message, "If you can admit your mistake, I won't watch these videos." He scrolled through their past messages.

It was always Sherry sending long, chatty texts. Whenever he replied-about anything-she'd answer immediately, even if she was in the middle of cooking. But this time it was different. His message had been sent out for ages, yet there was no reply. Then Scott told him Sherry had left the cafeteria with Tyrone. Gilbert's mood turned icy. He almost threw his laptop. "Tyrone and Sherry-how dare they be together, 1/3 O 9 O m ||| O 16:40 Fri, Jan 9 M Chapter 24 The Deleted Evidence +10 Free Coins like that?" One was his close friend. The other was his wife. They betrayed him, just like that!

"If Sherry doesn't care about her dignity, then I don't need to spare her any face either. Open the videos!" He felt disgusted with himself for hesitating earlier, thinking of sparing Sherry's feelings. But as he watched, his anger turned to shock. That filthy mouth-was that really the Wendy he knew? The way she dumped a tray of food over Sherry-she moved like someone who'd been bullying people for years. The nasty expression on her face made his vision blur. Scott was stunned too. He knew Wendy liked to play tricks behind the scenes. Targeting outsiders? People could overlook that.

But going after Gilbert's wife like this? That was trying to replace her. Acting like Sherry didn't even matter. She came off super mean. "This is my fault. I've been too easy on Wendy all these years." She skipped grades when she was young, then rushed through school. She fell in with bad influences. As her half-guardian, he was partly responsible too. "Should you let her apologize to Mrs. Bode?" Scott offered a gentle suggestion, not daring to speak up. Gilbert had been so confident before-now the truth was exploding in his face. "No need. Wendy lost her parents when she was little.

Her personality is extreme. If I force her to apologize, she'll kick up a fuss. Sherry is an adult. She doesn't need some teenage girl's apology. "Let them spend more time together. If Sherry can treat Wendy like an elder sister would, she won't keep overreacting." Scott was speechless. Overreacting? Good thing that tray hit Gilbert's head earlier-otherwise, someone might have gotten seriously hurt. Sherry's reaction was not an overreaction. "Delete the videos. All backups too. Tell everyone at the company to keep quiet. Wendy is still young.

It's not too late to give her another chance." Wendy, who had "fainted from crying," was standing right outside the door. She couldn't hide the smug smile on her lips. 2/3 16:40 Fri, Jan 9 M Chapter 24 The Deleted Evidence She recorded that last sentence and sent it directly to Sherry. 60 +10 Free Coins So what if she made trouble for Sherry? Gilbert would still protect her! Sherry wanted to fight her? Totally asking for trouble! Sherry didn't reply, but Wendy knew she would see it. Like she always did.

From her hospital bed, Sherry saw a new post from Wendy-a photo taken from the angle of Gilbert watching over her, with a caption, "I can only calm down when Gilbert soothes me. Love you, Gilbert!" When Sherry finally woke up and regained a little strength, she unlocked her phone. Yeah. No one cared whether she lived or died. She had tried so hard to be good to everyone. But nobody cared about her. Then a message came in-from Wendy. These two days she was in surgery and resting-no one took care of her.

Wendy just got scared and whimpered a little, but Gilbert waited on her hand and foot, really going all out. When had he ever fed her oatmeal by her bedside? 16:40 Fri, Jan 9 M Mark
