Don't push it." "Fine. If I'm taking the blame for tonight, then let's go all in. No premiere. Shut it down." Screw it. Don't think you can smear me and still get your own thing done while I lose everything. If I'm going down, we're all going down together. That's only fair, right? Valerie agreed, "I don't think this should just be brushed off. What gives you the right to say Sherry did it?

Do you have proof? I say we call the cops and let them look into it. That's fairer. Just because your event got ruined doesn't mean you can point fingers. "And if it turns out Sherry had nothing to do with it-what then? A casual 'oops, sorry' while her reputation lies in pieces? Meanwhile, you walk away with buzz and trending hashtags. "Playing real dirty, huh?" Valerie smiled, her eyes bright as she looked at Julia. Maybe others couldn't tell, but she'd been in this scene long enough. She could spot a two-faced saint a mile away.

Before Julia could respond, Gilbert's gaze cut toward Valerie like a blade. "Don't start fabricating stories. Julia would never do something like this." "Right. But your wife-the woman you actually married-she would?" Valerie snorted, "Then why marry her? Did someone hold a gun to your head? No? Then stop acting like the victim and throwing her under the bus." "You're biased. Everyone knows she climbed into his bed to trap him." "You just think Julia's your future rival, so you're gunning for her, aren't you?

With a petty heart like that, how'd you ever win Best Actress?" But Valerie was a fighter-sharp-tongued and quick-tempered. "Oh, so you were there? You actually saw her climb into his bed? How the hell can you be so sure? That's ridiculous." "Yeah, ridiculous. Two years together, and on our wedding day, suddenly I'm a predator?" Sherry didn't bother hiding her bitterness. She knew how it looked-a nobody marrying up always looked suspicious. People would 1/3 11:22 Sat, Mar 14 Chapter 254 The Choice always assume she schemed her way in.

VPN 95 +5 Free Coins Gilbert's jaw tightened, his temper slipping. "Sherry. Are you really going to keep destroying Julia until you're satisfied?" "Like Valerie just said-we don't know who ruined who. Maybe we should call the police and let them figure it out. My reputation's taken a hit too. "Or do you think Julia's reputation is sacred while mine means nothing?" Sherry knew the answer was buried in Gilbert's heart. She wanted to see if he dared say it out loud. "Don't play word games with me, Sherry." Gilbert's voice hardened. "Your reputation isn't ruined because of Julia.

It was already gone. I'll say it straight, right here. "The only reason I married you was that I was scared I'd ruin Julia's marriage. Those five years we didn't see each other? I never stopped thinking about her. Not once." The confession hung in the air. The longing he'd hidden for years finally surfaced, raw and unguarded. He had once convinced himself he was past such feelings, because he knew Julia was a good woman-the kind of pure, principled woman who wouldn't get too close to another man. Not like Sherry-getting close to another man before the divorce was even final.

Sherry didn't have a clue about loyalty. But Julia was probably the only one left in the world who understood that kind of loyalty. She wouldn't file for divorce, She'd give herself completely to the man who saved her. That meant they could never be together. He hadn't thought about it before. He hadn't let himself go there. Or maybe he'd just buried it so deep he couldn't see it. Or maybe he was just too scared to face it-if it ever came down to Sherry or Julia, who would he choose? Today, he finally listened to the voice he'd been silencing for years.

The truth was, he'd never really forgotten Julia. "I'm not ashamed to admit it," he said. "Lots of people have that one person they can't forget. For me, that's Julia. Everyone knows you can never replace that person. 2/3 11:22 Sat, Mar 14 Chapter 254 The Choice "But that doesn't mean what's between us is filthy." VPN 95 +5 Free Coins 3/3 11:22 Sat, Mar 14 admin
