The Billionaire’s Regretful Obsession – Victoria Hale

Chapter 263 No One Believes Her This was clearly everything Julia had just said moments ago. These people probably hadn't even considered that angle. They likely thought there was no way someone dumb enough to be manipulated could also be malicious enough to be a homewrecker. Was she supposed to admit in front of all these people that she was the dumb one? How would that make her look any better? Gilbert was definitely watching somewhere. Even though she resented him, she genuinely cared about him.

Things hadn't been great for her abroad, but since coming back here, she'd been showered with attention. The one person who truly cared about her was still Gilbert. "Why are you treating me like this? I'm a victim too-it's all Julia..." But the commenters weren't having it. Wendy felt like she was being completely wronged. "What do these commenters even know? And how could I have known my parents did that? Besides, we're sisters-" "And that's exactly why I never brought this out in the open.

If you hadn't pushed me to the edge, I never would have said anything either, because I know what I did wasn't exactly honorable." This just became Julia's perfect opportunity to clear her name. [I really feel for Julia. She just wanted to make it in the entertainment industry quietly. First Sherry came after her, now her own sister?] Just thinking about it made the public sympathize with her even more. [How does Wendy even have the nerve to speak? Julia knew all this and still kept quiet. Couldn't you just let her vent? If it weren't for you, would she be in this situation now?

Losing both parents?] [I can only imagine how torn she must have felt about her sister. If she really wanted to come after you, she would've done it ages ago. She went easy on you, and look how you repaid her- pushing for your own sister's destruction. You deserve everything coming to you!] 1/3 [Right? I can totally see someone as kind as Julia struggling with this a thousand times. If it were me, I'd make sure Wendy wished she were dead! Send her to Zalari fend for herself!] Unexpectedly, that last comment got massive approval. [Yeah, send her to Zalari, to some godforsaken place.

Let her play the victim there!] Wendy was terrified her reputation would be ruined, and she was absolutely furious. It was the kind of anger you feel when you know the truth, but no one believes you. "You people are the real idiots, completely played by her. Why do you think she waited so long to say I'm the daughter of a homewrecker? Because she was holding it over me! So when we finally turned on each other, she'd be the one in the right! "She planned all of this. She's a master at it-even her tears are crocodile tears. I've never once seen her actually cry.

"When her own husband left, I didn't see a single tear. She's ice cold. To her, everyone's just a pawn-except money and power." Credit where it's due, Wendy's usually-not-so-bright mind finally had a moment of clarity. But it came way too late. Nobody believed her anymore. Wendy screamed herself hoarse, but no one listened. Someone even showed up at her place, cut the livestream, and dragged her to Splendor Villa. She never thought she'd end up back here like this. Like some disgraced palace maid from ancient times, she was hurled onto the marble floor in the center of the hall.

The marble flooring she'd once been so proud of-now she was sprawled across it like a drowned rat. "It hurts!" Wendy wasn't faking it. That marble was hard. "Stop pretending. You think you're the one who hurts?" Gilbert's cold gaze pinned her down. There wasn't a trace of affection in his eyes anymore-just pure, murderous intent. Wendy's heart felt like it was being ripped apart. "Gilbert, let me ask you one last time. Even if 2/3 you never loved me, did you ever really care? Does my pain mean nothing to you?" Gilbert's eyes were utterly empty, as if those years had never happened.

"You did this to Julia, and you expect me to feel sorry for you? Did you ever stop to think about her when you were doing all this?" If anything, he wanted her drawn and quartered. If she'd told him earlier, it wouldn't have ended like this. This was all Julia's scheme-but no one would believe her. "Gilbert, now I finally understand why Sherry left and never came back. Having a husband who can't tell right from wrong, always taking another woman's side... if I were her, I'd have done the same thing." 3/3 admin
